Keywords:
cultural identity , ngunduh mantu, exogamous marriageAbstract
This study examines the Ngunduh Mantu tradition as a form of cultural harmony in Javanese-Sundanese exogamous marriages through a case study of the researcher's family. The background of this study stems from the phenomenon of cultural interaction in interethnic marriages, which often gives rise to a process of acculturation. The literature review is based on the theory of tradition and culture (Koentjaraningrat), the concept of acculturation (Redfield, Linton & Herskovits), and literature on exogamous marriage and Javanese-Sundanese customs . This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, through in-depth interviews, documentary observation, and literature study as data collection techniques. The results show that the implementation of Ngunduh Mantu not only preserves the Javanese ritual structure but also integrates Sundanese cultural elements, such as language, clothing, music, and traditional symbols. The findings show that acculturation occurs through the mechanisms of cultural synthesis, adaptation, and complementarity between ritual elements. This tradition serves as a medium for preserving values, cultural education, and strengthening the identity of Javanese-Sundanese hybrid families. In conclusion, Ngunduh Mantu in the context of exogamy shows that traditions are dynamic and capable of adapting harmoniously in cultural encounters, thereby strengthening social cohesion and enriching local cultural practices
