Abstract
Manggarai inheritance customary law has a philosophy "ata pe'ang ko ata one". This philosophy has an impact on the dichotomy of boy’s outsiders and girls as insiders. Therefore, there is an assumption that the textual community positions boys as heirs (superior class) and women as non-heirs (inferior class). This assumption is investigated further. But the results showed that: (1) A small part of the textual community divides inheritance to daughters, in the form of private land inheritance, while communal land (lingko) is only inherited by sons as guardians of the clan. 2) The textual society is conditionally open to the distribution of inheritance to daughters, because it is influenced by factors of education, employment, economy. (3) The law system of the Manggarai community based in the future is inheritance customary law with an open patrilineal customary law system and gender justice
