【 摘 要 】

This paper investigates one of a well-known phenomenon in Kolono district, South Konawe; the groom has to provide Mahar to the bride before their marriage held. The focus of this investigation is related to delayed Mahar; when the groom only affords partially or it becomes debt. This qualitative descriptive paper with ethnography approach indicates that the delayed Mahar affects the spouses negatively in Kolono. For instance, a divorce often happens in this village. This is due to the head of the family; in this case, the husband has not granted the Mahar even after they have children. One of the traditions in this district is marriage can also be held if the groom has not been able to provide any Mahar to the bride family. The research result on this paper points out that some divorces occurred because of this delayed Mahar which had been settled on by the groom and bride side before the marriage.
