Kajian ini dijalankan untuk mengetahui proses upacara dalam adat dan amalan perkahwinan tradisional masyarakat India dan perubahan-perubahan yang berlaku dalam pengamalan upacara perkahwinan tersebut pada masa kini. Kajian ini dilakukan dalam kalangan masyarakat India di Sekinchan, Selangor. Pada masa kini, adat dan amalan perkahwinan tradisional semakin terhakis dalam masyarakat, terutamanya dalam masyarakat moden termasuk masyarakat India. Terdapat beberapa adat dan amalan upacara yang tidak lagi diamalkan oleh masyarakat India kini. Mereka lebih mengamalkan upacara perkahwinan yang lebih ringkas berbanding upacara perkahwinan tradisional. Hal ini menyebabkan berlakunya perubahan dalam adat dan amalan perkahwinan masyarakat India daripada bentuk amalan tradisi kepada moden. Pendekatan penyelidikan kualitatif telah diaplikasikan dalam kajian ini. Seramai empat orang informan telah ditemu bual secara mendalam. Kaedah pemerhatian juga turut dilaksanakan untuk mendapatkan maklumat yang menyeluruh. Seterusnya, sumber sekunder juga turut digunakan dalam kajian ini untuk mengukuhkan dapatan kajian. Kajian ini melihat kepada tahap upacara perkahwinan iaitu tahap upacara sebelum, semasa dan selepas perkahwinan berlangsung. Hasil kajian menunjukkan amalan dan upacara perkahwinan tradisional yang diamalkan oleh masyarakat India pada masa kini telah mengalami perubahan. Namun, amalan dan upacara perkahwinan tersebut masih mempunyai kesinambungan dengan warisan tradisi masyarakat India. Justeru, implikasi kajian ini adalah penting untuk memulihara adat, amalan dan warisan budaya tradisi nenek moyang masyarakat India di Malaysia daripada pupus.
This study was conducted to identify the rituals processes in the practice of traditional Indian and to study the changes that occured in the practice of marriage ceremony among the Indian community nowadays. This study was conducted among the Indian community in Sekinchan, Selangor. Nowadays all the ceremonies that practiced by the traditional Indian community have undergone changes as compared to modern society including Indian community. Some customs and ceremonial practices are no longer practiced
by the Indian community today. They are more likely to practice the simple wedding ceremonies then traditionals. This led to a change in customs and practices from traditional to modern forms in marriage. A qualitative research approach has been applied in this study. 4 informants were interviewed and secondary sources were also implemented. The study focussed on the all wedding ceremonies practiced by the Indian community which is the ceremony before, during and after the marriage took place. The results show that the traditional wedding practices and ceremonies practiced by the Indian society today have changed but they still follow the culture of ancestors. Thus, the implications of this study are important to preserve the customs, practices and cultural heritage of the Malaysia ancestral traditions from extinct.
