There are a few kind of opposite in Memang Jodoh; opposite about compulsory to work as a men, opposite to hold Minangkabau’s regress tradition, opposite to marriage tradition in Minangkabau’s culture, and opposite to conservatives thought in people of Padang about education. Hence, with this research we know that Rusli’s opposite illocutionary act was denied a few of Minangkabau tradition causing the regress of human being. Besides, the traditions are according to opposite illocutionay aren’t relevance on this age.
