Therefore, the researcher concludes as follows: from the research conducted, the researcher concludes that the existence of marriage according to Serawai customary law in Talang Beringin village from the perspective of Islamic law has only undergone changes in the stages after engagement. Previously, there were terms such as "ngantar sirih pinang," "ngulangi lautan," "tandang kutuan," and "nuwokah rasan," along with various customary practices like "cara ulu," "cara melayu," and "cara malim."
