O Papel Da Justiça Tradicional Na Resolução De Conflitos Ligados Ao Adultério: Um Estudo Exploratório Na Embala De Giraúl, Município De Kalukembe

Abstract

In Caluquembe, as in other places, the practice of adultery always takes place in secret and underground. According to our survey of adultery, we found that this practice dates back to an early age in local communities and traditional authorities have always criticized anyone who succumbs to this infidelity. Adultery is seen even in the bible as a sin and in our local communities it is seen as a key element of destroying a marriage, although some people take betrayal lightly. Marriage is a fundamental institution in human history, without excluding any civilization. This has the function of extending the scope of kinship relations, which, in turn, provides individuals with certain stability, predictability of behavior, generated from the bonds of marriage. This study is structured in two chapters, the first of which addresses generic aspects of the district of Caluquembe in terms of geography, history, religion, climate, relief and other points related to adultery through a historical review focusing on this phenomenon in Angolan societies. local communities, although the focus is Embala do Giraúl, this chapter conveys the understanding of adultery through habits and customs of requesting the Ukoi fine for adultery. And this time, the chapter reports the typology of adultery, its fines that present a variety according to the contexts. Traditional justice is an element that belongs to the sobas and through this power they judge adultery and other social conflicts obeying the rules of the customary law based on cultures.
