| Summary: | This research is aimed at analyzing the changes of urban Malays’ spouse selection and
wedding organization in Kuala Lumpur, and meanwhile inspecting the impact of
socioeconomic factors on the changes which have already happened. The five
socioeconomic factors, as the consequences of the urbanization process, refer to
education, salary, occupation, residence and family socioeconomic status concretely.
This research has been conducted based on the Modernization Theory and models
modified from Edwards’s and Yaacob Harun’s models in analyzing the changes of urban
Malays’ marriage and family. Two important research methods have been utilized in this
research, which are quantitative and qualitative research techniques. Quantitative
method has been applied by sending questionnaires to 214 respondents in Kuala
Lumpur, referring to 107 Malay couples who just got married in the last two or three
years. Qualitative method consists of library research and interviews on 14 Malay
couples. Inasmuch as the highest level of urbanization, Kuala Lumpur was chosen to be
the study site. This research suggests that significant changes have taken place in urban
Malays’ spouse selection. Such changes range from the age at first marriage, the rights
of selecting a spouse, ways to find a spouse and spouse selection criteria. In terms of
this point, socioeconomic factors have become influential, including education,
occupation, salary and family socioeconomic status. Additionally, wedding organization
have undergone great changes as well, including the marriage payment, the selection of
wedding date and wedding venue, human support system and financial support system
vi
in organizing wedding. It argues that socioeconomic factors, such as education,
occupation, salary, residence and family socioeconomic status are virtually related to
aforementioned changes. When this research was carried out, not only the
socioeconomic factors have been studied, the social culture factors have also been
analyzed. This research reveals that although big changes have already taken place in
urban Malay society in Kuala Lumpur, especially in spouse selection and wedding
organization, the impact of traditional Malay values, customs and Islam rules still have
profound influences on urban Malays. This finding rebuts the Modernization Theory
which argues “modern” and “traditional” cannot exist at the same time because these
two values are mutually exclusive. But, what is happening in urban Malay society in
Kuala Lumpur has proven that “modern” and “traditional” can co-exist harmoniously.
Given that in Islamic Malay society, marriage is still the only premise of family
formation. Thus, all the procedures relating to marriage and wedding should practice the
elements of social-culture which have been accepted by the society from generation to
generation. |
