Abstract

This study examines the role of Adat Badamai and the values of Sulh as mechanisms for domestic dispute resolution within the Banjar community. Adat Badamai is a deeply rooted customary law tradition emphasizing the principle of deliberation for consensus (musyawarah mufakat) to achieve peace and social harmony. As an institution of Islamic law, the value of Sulh reinforces this customary practice through a reconciliation approach characterized by a non-adversarial nature thereby yielding equitable solutions that are socially and religiously acceptable. Employing a library research approach by analyzing relevant literature and documents, this study explores the effectiveness, challenges, and revitalization strategies of these resolution mechanisms amidst social change and modernization. The results indicate that the synergy between Adat Badamai and Sulh values is capable of reducing conflict rates, strengthening social solidarity, and sustainably maintaining family and societal stability. The preservation of these values requires cross-institutional collaboration for education and dissemination to future generations, ensuring this noble tradition remains relevant in the era of globalization.
