Baduy is a group of people who are still primitive, because they still survive with the principles of a long
life full of local wisdom, including in conducting marriage rituals. However, the problem with marital
procedures is contrary to positive law in Indonesia. In addition, the marriage ceremony conducted by the
Baduy indigenous people involves many people which is also contrary to government policies regarding
social distancing in handling the Covid-19 outbreak. The purpose of this study is (1) to analyze the marital
status carried out by the Baduy community in positive law in Indonesia, (2) to analyze the efforts of the
Baduy community to prevent the spread of covid-19 in the midst of procuring a marriage ritual that involves
many people. The method in this paper uses normative juridical research and uses three sources of legal
material, namely primary, secondary and tertiary. Data analysis was performed descriptively qualitative. The
results showed that (1) the legality of the marriage of the Baduy community certainly had no legality and this
marriage was not recognized by the state, (2) the marriage ceremony of the Baduy community could still be
carried out as usual, bearing in mind that this community was very closed with the outside world long before
the Covid-19 pandemic, but this clearly cannot be applied in outside Baduy communities which incidentally
still open access for outsiders to visit
