Abstract
The Mareraosan oral tradition is a tradition of word of mouth, which is very unique because it includes literary, religious, local wisdom, ethics and aesthetic abilities. This oral tradition can develop and exist because it is supported by the supporters themselves, meaning that there are always people who want to preserve the tradition. Aspects of marriage that include the rights and obligations of the bride and groom are spoken directly by the dragoman(jururaos). Jururaos is the person chosen by the family to give advice to the bride and groom. The theory used in this research is the theory of socio cultural action from Max Weber which includes actions that are directed rationally, actions based on values, actions based on emotions and actions based on culture. The main finding in this study is that the oral tradition of mareraosanis a medium for delivering messages from parents and community leaders to the bride and groom. In the mareraosan tradition, there are also three main witnesses (Tri Upasaksi), namely, the witness god, the witness human, and the witness bhuta. This is what distinguishes the mareraosantradition from other marriage traditions.
