Abstract

This study examines the influence of social status on marital patterns in Kramat Agung Village, Probolinggo, Indonesia. Social status, encompassing factors such as education, occupation, and income, is recognised as an important determinant of marriage behaviour within rural communities. Despite the extensive literature on marriage and social stratification, limited empirical evidence is available from small rural contexts in Indonesia, where traditional norms intersect with socioeconomic change.. The research employed a quantitative design with a survey approach. Data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to randomly selected respondents, and analysed using descriptive statistics and linear regression techniques. This approach enabled the identification of relationships between social status and various marital outcomes, including age at marriage and partner selection.

The findings indicate that social status has a significant positive effect on marriage decisions. Individuals with higher social status tend to marry at a later age and are more likely to select partners perceived as socially and economically compatible. These results highlight the continuing relevance of social stratification in shaping intimate life choices, even in rural communities.. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of marriage dynamics in Indonesia and offers insights for policymakers and community leaders in promoting social development within similar rural settings
