Abstract
Abstract. The rise of divorce in society need to be analyzed and addressed properly. In-depth research in regards to prevention effort to develop a model of a divorce prevention strategy needs to be done to avoid widespread negative impacts in the community as it may weaken the social resilience of the community. Participatory approaches can solve it by empowering various elements within the local community (local institutions). Previous preliminary studies [1], it is known that the extended family and local institutions have the potential to prevent divorce. The Minangkabau community with the Matrilineal kinship system ideally provides immense space for extended families to play a role in various aspects of life. However, the role of extended families such as the existence of parents, in-laws, and mamak relatively not utilized functionally. Likewise with the existence of local institutions that exist in society, among others; LKAAM (Lembaga Kerapatan Adat Alam Minangkabau) or KAN (Kerapatan Adat Nagari) at Nagari level, and LPM (Lembaga Perberdayaan Masyarakat) and other formal institutions such as Majelis Taklim and Bundo Kanduang. For that purpose, this research is to develop efforts that can be done to empower the extended family and local institutions in preventing and solving the rampant divorce.
