This comprehensive analysis delves into the intricate process of resolving adultery cases within the framework of Sabunese Customary Law. Sabunese society, like many others, grapples with issues related to marital infidelity, and the customary law provides a unique perspective on how such cases are handled. This study employs ethnographic research methods, legal anthropology, and interviews with community members to unravel the complexities of adultery case resolution in Sabunese culture. Through an in-depth examination of the procedures, norms, and values governing these cases, this research sheds light on the nuances of justice, gender dynamics, and social cohesion in Sabunese society. The findings offer valuable insights into customary legal systems and their role in maintaining order and harmony in diverse cultural contexts.
