MANAGEMENT OF THE ADAT PERPATIH MATRIARCHY IN NEGERI SEMBILAN

This research is conducted to study the Management of the Adat Perpatih Matriarchy in Negeri Sembilan. The aim of this research is to study the role Ibu Soko (Female Leader) and to discover how Teromba (custom poems) is used as the customary language in the lives of the Malay people in Negeri Sembilan in order to decide on the ideal Ibu Soko. This research is referenced by the Teori Sastera Warisan by A Wahab Ali who wishes to see the legacy preserved indefinitely. It is discovered that there are several forms of Teromba or traditional poetry that focuses on the good leadership of the Ibu Soko that is sourced from the teromba itself. In fact, the poetry being used has its roots traced back to words of the Holy Quran and Hadith of old. This research would be beneficial to the Ibu Soko in question as well as those who wish to practice Adat Perpatih in a way that can be well executed.
