This study uses a qualitative approach and descriptive study research methods, with data collection techniques namely interviews, observation and documentation. Based on the results of research on contract marriages and the community, contract marriages are carried out by Middle Eastern tourists to meet their biological needs, while local women who contract marriages are based on economic demands.
