This paper explores the contemporary socio-familial dynamic wherein a mother-in-law (ibu mertua) holds explicit expectations regarding the lifestyle and entertainment consumption of her prospective or current son-in-law (besar menantu laki-laki). Moving beyond traditional metrics of income and property, this study identifies three core pillars: Financial Viability in Social Contexts, Digital and Media Decorum, and Recreational Sophistication. The findings suggest that the mother-in-law views the son-in-law’s ability to curate a balanced, aspirational, and family-integrated lifestyle as a direct reflection of the daughter’s future security and social standing.
