Abstract

This study is grounded in the limited integration of mathematics, culture, and religion within academic discussions of local traditions, particularly the weton marriage calculation practice. It aims to explore the mathematical concepts embedded in weton calculations and to analyse these practices from an Islamic law perspective within an interdisciplinary framework. The study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method following the six-stage PRISMA 2020 protocol, including the formulation of research questions, development of a search strategy, application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, study selection, quality assessment, and thematic synthesis. Data were collected from Google Scholar and Garuda using the keywords “weton nikah,” “cultural mathematics,” “ethnomathematics,” and “Islamic legal perspective,” with publications limited to the 2021–2025 period. From an initial 542 articles, 81 passed the title and abstract screening, 22 met the quality criteria, and 10 studies were selected for in-depth analysis. The results indicate that weton calculations incorporate fundamental mathematical concepts such as basic arithmetic operations, modular arithmetic, and symbolic numeration systems. From the perspective of Islamic law, the practice is categorized as cultural tradition (‘urf) and is considered permissible provided it is not associated with determinism or beliefs that contradict the principle of monotheism. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that integrating mathematical analysis with cultural and religious perspectives can enhance the relevance of ethnomathematics, support contextual learning, and strengthen the connection between mathematical understanding, cultural identity, and ethical values.

This study aims to explore the mathematical concepts underlying the computation of marriage weton and examine the Islamic legal perspective on this cultural practice. The urgency of this research lies in the limited academic discussion integrating mathematics, culture, and religion, especially in the context of local traditions such as weton. Although the weton system has long been practiced in Javanese society, the learning of mathematics and its understanding with Islamic law have not been thoroughly explained. The novelty of this research lies in its interdisciplinary approach, which combines mathematical reasoning and Islamic jurisprudence to reinterpret traditional practices through a scientific perspective. This study uses a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method consisting of six stages: formulating the research question, defining the inclusion criteria, designing a search strategy using the keywords "weton nikah," "cultural mathematics," and "Islamic legal perspective," selecting studies using Google Scholar, assessing quality based on relevance, originality, and methodology, and synthesizing the findings to draw comprehensive conclusions. The data range covers publications between 2021 and 2025. Of the 22 reviewed studies, 10 met the inclusion criteria and were comprehensively analyzed. The results of this study indicate that weton calculations include basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, and division), modular arithmetic, and symbolic numeracy. From an Islamic perspective, these practices are culturally acceptable as long as they do not conflict with religious principles. Furthermore, these findings contribute to mathematics education by illustrating how mathematical reasoning can be contextualized within local cultural traditions, increasing ethnomathematical awareness, and strengthening students' appreciation of the relevance of mathematics in their cultural and moral contexts.

This study aims to explore mathematical concepts in weton marriage calculations and analyze them from an Islamic law perspective. The urgency of this study lies in the limited academic studies that integrate mathematics, culture, and religion in the context of local traditions. The novelty of this research lies in its interdisciplinary approach through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) that combines mathematical reasoning and fiqh studies to reinterpret traditional practices scientifically. This study applies a six-stage SLR protocol based on the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, including: formulation of research questions, preparation of a search protocol, determination of inclusion-exclusion criteria, search strategy, study selection, and thematic synthesis. The search strategy used the keywords “weton nikah,” “cultural mathematics,” “ethnomathematics,” and “Islamic legal perspective” in the Google Scholar and Garuda databases. The data range was limited to publications from 2021 to 2025. Of the 542 initial articles, 81 articles passed the title abstract screening, 22 articles passed the quality assessment, and 10 final studies were analyzed in depth using the thematic synthesis method. The SLR results showed that weton calculations involve basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, division), modular arithmetic, and symbolic numeration. The study of Islamic law found that this practice falls within the realm of culture (‘urf) and is acceptable as long as it is not believed to determine destiny or violate the principle of monotheism. Key findings show that the integration of mathematics with local traditions has the potential to strengthen ethnomathematics learning, increase contextual relevance, and encourage students’ understanding of the relationship between mathematics, culture, and moral values.
