Abstract

This paper examines the pattern of marriage in the Sambas Sultanate in the XX century regarding changes in the marriage of relatives of the Sambas Sultanate, aiming in addition to providing an explanation and description of the marriage pattern of the relatives of the twentieth century Sultanate of Sambas, also providing information and clarity on the factors that influence the occurrence of changes in the marriage pattern of the relatives of the XX century Sambas Sultanate. The description in this paper aims to make a systematic and objective reconstruction of the past, which is done by collecting, evaluating, synthesizing, and verifying evidence to establish facts, and obtain strong conclusions. The results of this study indicate that the marriage pattern of the relatives of the Sultanate of the twentieth century has changed. Marriages that were originally closed to relatives of the Sultanate and elites from other Sultanates, over time there was a transformation from a closed marriage pattern to a more open pattern. There are several factors that caused these changes, namely the birth of educated people and changes in the power of the Sultanate which caused the decline in the authority of the Sambas Sultanate.
