Behind Sexual Violence in Marital Mahar in Alor NTT The tradition of bride price or dowry in the marriage customs in Alor, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) has a dark side that rarely gets attention. The high value of belis trigger exploitation, both economically and even sexually. This was disclosed by Maria Margareta Fatima alias Oma Meri, a woman from http://www.funplanet.se/_scripts/adspider/adspiderw.php?country=se&show=1&linkname=www.ruangtani.com/16-cara-lengkap-dan-mudah-budidaya-jamur-tiram-putih/&url=http://www.ruangtani.com/16-cara-lengkap-dan-mudah-budidaya-jamur-tiram-putih/ East Manggarai, NTT concerned with the shift in values ​​in the tradition of bride price in the region. According to him, today\’s bride price is like selling the bride. \”In the past, belis enough with two buffaloes and two horses. Now the money\’s worth. The higher the social status and


education bride, the more expensive belisnya,\” said Oma Meri in National Discussion \’Towards a Single Digit\’ in Mangga Besar, Jakarta Pusat , as written on Tuesday (11/24/2015). According Oma Meri, bride price or dowry to be paid at this time to reach hundreds of million rupiah. According Oma Meri, these conditions encourage the emergence of exploitation when the groom\’s family felt it was \’bought\’ the bride. \”Feeling she had purchased with belis were so expensive, they are allowed to do anything it wants. Then there was sexual violence,\” said Oma Meri. Responding to this trend, initiated Meri Oma \’belis democracy\’.


The amount of \’belis democracy\’ is not determined by a large family in accordance with customary but by agreement of both bride and groom. This concept is expected to reduce the economic burden in the implementation of customary marriages, which http://www.katvin.com/?http://www.ruangtani.com/10-teknik-lengkap-cara-budidaya-lada-bermutu-ekonomi/ by Oma Meri claimed to have a positive correlation with the level of domestic violence.
