Practices of determining dowry and pisuke prices in Lombok

Abstract

The objective of this study is to comprehend and define the notion of accounting methods in establishing dowry and pisuke pricing among the residents of Kateng Village, located in the West Praya District of Central Lombok Regency. This study employs ethnomethodology, a research approach that utilizes analytical techniques such as indexicality, reflexivity, contextual action, and the presentation of common-sense knowledge regarding social systems. The research employs an interpretive paradigm as its underlying framework. This study employs original data acquired through interviews and observations. This study suggests that accounting processes for estimating dowry and pisuke prices are conducted using four methods: referencing prices, considering social strata, assessing social position, and evaluating personal qualities. These approaches hold significance as symbols of honor and commitment, self-worth, a representation of family values, and the unification of two families. The determination of dowry and pisuke pricing is associated with traditional accounting theory, the distinction between price setter and price taker, and the presence of bargaining, as observed in a market. The results of this study should be tailored to accommodate the talents of individuals. Put simply, women should thoroughly examine the background and socioeconomic status of their possible spouses.
