Abstract

PKS in practice, is often identified with the grouping of their cadres in choosing a mate. In its application, there is no term dating between men and women, but to get to a marriage is called ta'aruf. Furthermore, what is interesting to study is the extent to which the process or practice of marriage without dating affects the household harmony of the PKS pioneer cadres. In other words, the practice of marriage in the ta'aruf way, without a personal relationship between the prospective bride and groom, will affect the quality of the marriage of the PKS members.
