Sepenggal Gambaran Prosesi Pernikahan Adat Aceh

Melestarikan adat dan budaya merupakan tanggung jawab bersama semua masyarakat. Indonesia dikenal memang sangat kaya akan adat dan budaya. Jika tidak dijaga dan dilestarikan, maka secara perlahan akan hilang tanpa bekas.

Begitu juga dengan provinsi paling ujung Barat di Indonesia, yakni Aceh. Adat istiadat dan budaya masih tetap melekat dalam kehidupan masyarakatnya. Setiap sisi kehidupan bermasyarakat, Aceh punya aturan dan kebiasaan tersendiri, yakni yang kerap dilakukan secara turun temurun.

Biasanya sebelumnya masuk dalam prosesi pernikahan, para keluarga calon pengantin melakukan silaturrahmi awal. Pihak keluarga calon pengantin pria mendatangi keluarga calon pengantin wanita.

Kedatangan perwakilan keluarga pria ini untuk menjalin tali silahturrahmi awal. Sekalian menyatakan maksud untuk meminang calon pengantin wanita. Prosesi ini tentunya bermakna bahwa calon pengantin pria serius ingin menikahi calon pengantin wanita.

Pada tahap awal ini, dalam bahasa Aceh disebut ‘ba ranup’ atau antar sirih. Disana nanti pihak keluarga pria mengutarakan maksud untuk meminang seorang wanita di rumah tersebut untuk dijadikan istri. Jika memang terjadi kesepakatan, baru dibahas banyak hal lainnya.

Setelah sama-sama mendapat kata sepakat antara kedua belah pihak dan terpenting kedua calon pengantin. Maka selanjutnya akan dibahas tanggal pernikahan serta “kenduri” atau pesta pernikahan.

Calon pengantin pria dalam masyarakat Aceh disebut “Linto Baro” dan untuk wanita disebut “Dara Baro”. Untuk prosesi pesta pernikahan, biasanya dilakukan dua kali acara. Meski saat ini ada juga yang menggelar pesta hanya sekali, sesuai kesepakatan bersama. Pesta pernikahan biasanya dilakukan setelah proses ijab kabul.

Pertama pengantin pria atau Linto Baro mendatangi rumah keluarga pengantin wanita atau Dara Baro. Kunjungan ini disebut dengan ‘Intat Linto’. Lalu keesokan hari, giliran pihak Dara Baro yang mendatangi rumah Linto Baro. Prosesi ini dilakukan tdak lain agar warga sekitar mengetahui bahwa keduanya telah resmi menikah.

Dalam prosesi pesta pernikahan, Anda akan melihat berbagai hal yang unik. Mulai dari pakaian adat yang dipakai pengantin, prosesi penerimaan tamu serta hantaran atau bawaan dari keluarga Linto Baro kepada keluarga dara Baro. [agust]
