Abstract


Marriage is a form of worship. Marriage in Islam is one way to fortify someone to not fall into the valley of humiliation and maintain offspring. Furthermore, marriage is also a sacred covenant or an essential bond between husband and wife. It is only through marriage that what was previously unlawful can become lawful. In the wedding process, the people in Punaga village carry out the Akkorongtigi tradition to launch the event. This paper attempts to describe how the ritual process is carried out by the Punaga community where there is a process of circling the fire seven times which is only done by the descendants of Karaeng. This article uses qualitative research methods through a series of research stages. This study uses interview techniques with resource persons. The resource persons in this study were community leaders. The Punaga community still carries out the korongtigi custom because it is a Punaga community custom that is carried out at the time of the wedding. Korongtigi custom is a series of events held before the wedding. Where this custom has been passed down from generation to generation from the ancestors of the Punaga community.
