Abstract

Abstract Tonelo in the literature of the Gorontalo community is a tradition related to marital issues, namely matters that focus on the issue of the cost of marriage, and this tradition itself has long been practiced by the local community, especially in Tamalate, East Gorontalo City, however the author sees an oddity. tends not to be in accordance with the concepts and principles of Islamic law, among the irregularities of the Tonelo tradition is the cost of the marriage itself which is quite expensive/high, so it is not surprising that it causes a lot of controversy and contradiction which gives quite a lot of implications from positive and even negative aspects. The type of research used in this research is a type of empirical phenomenological legal research that is Field Research, using a qualitative approach, while the research location is in Tamalate, Kota Timur, Gorontalo, with the subject of this research being the Tamalate community itself. Finally, the author concludes that the Tonelo tradition in general is makruh, and may be judged to be permissible if there is an element of pleasure/volunteership between the two parties to the prospective bride and groom, and it can also be said to be unlawful if it turns out that in practice its implementation brings harm, as is the principle of Islamic law which allows every tradition. which brings benefit and vice versa.
