Role of Sarak Opat, Resolving Domestic ViolenceAbstract
This research aims to determine the role of sarak opat in resolving domestic violence conflicts. The research approach used is normative juridical with a qualitative research type. Furthermore, the nature of this research is perspective so that it can answer the problems that will later be researched. The results of the discussion showed that Sarak Opat is a traditional institution with the authority to resolve cases of domestic violence peacefully and in a consensus/deliberative manner. Usually the victim reports it to the Kampung hamlet, then the hamlet conveys it to Reje. After the root of the problem was discovered, both parties were summoned to a regular trial at the village hall attended by Reje as mediator in the trial, Imem as advisor, Petue as clerk and the people. After the trial is opened, both parties are invited to express their arguments and then be willing, as a mediator, to make a decision depending on both parties. Usually a robbery (fine agreement) in the form of gold is used as a deterrent effect for the perpetrator. Meanwhile, the longest time for reconciliation is 3 (three) months, if it cannot be resolved by consensus, the next process is through litigation.
