Abstract

The women’s class in the Batak traditional tarombo legalizes socio-cultural inequality and injustice. Tarombo in Batak custom has a significant new meaning for an egalitarian and just repositioning of women. The research method used is qualitative, with an informant interview, and literature study reading feminine criticism. This means that many different stories, namely, the stories of women in the Batak genealogy (tarombo), women in the state legal order, and the stories of women in the genealogy of the Gospel of Matthew are read and dialogued for an equal and just repositioning of Batak women. This method intends to build a feminine and creative critical discursive between multiple texts that originate from different points of view but are discussed together in the same context of socio-cultural hybridity to bridge gaps and build deep understanding between readers of the two texts. This discursive conclusion is issuing state policies that protect, guarantee, and advance women’s rights and eliminate discriminatory policies and legal certainty. Second, all traditional terms related to the position of women in Batak customs are forms of respect and appreciation that are not just mere slogans. Third, the inclusion of women’s names in the Bible emphasizes that the gospel liberates anyone and is not limited to social classes, men and women, Jews, and non-Jews.
