What explains the resilience of matrilineal Muslim society? It seems that
while defending tradition under attack from strict Islamic reformists, the
Minangkabau reinforced existing practices and evolved rhetorical practices
adept at addressing criticisms. This should not imply that Minangkabau-ness
meant or means today a set of practices that are set in stone. Indeed,
pan-Islamism, colonialism, and nationalism all influenced local identity,
language, and household and family structure. Precisely the rigor of these
challenges to the traditional order engendered a sophisticated defense of that
order and the inter-personal arrangements it attempts to structure.
The practice of Adat law, and the role women played in the creation if not
the codification of Adat law, is one of the more interesting end results of the
debate between various modernizers and traditionalists. In contrast to India,
where matrilineal customs have all but disappeared, Adat law still has force in
Sumatra, even though Muslim law clearly has the dominant position. It seems
that so long as this remains the case, the Minangkabau will remain an Islamic
matriarchy.
Understanding how local cultures reconcile their traditional practices with
their Islamic beliefs reveals the dynamic element of Islam and suggests the
importance of studying those cultures.
