Indonesia is a country that adheres to the civil law system, with many of its legal sources found in written regulations in the form of legislation. One of its material sources comes from the living law within society. In addition, Indonesia also practices customary law. Therefore, Indonesian law is inseparable from the laws that grow, develop, and are accepted in society itself, including in Maluku, where the living law continues to be implemented alongside existing regulations to resolve conflicts in society, including cases of violence against women. Using an empirical juridical research method with data sources obtained directly from society, it was found that the dispute resolution mechanism, particularly in cases involving women, based on the living law within the community, will continue to be applicable in the ius constituendum in accordance with the actual practices in the Letti Island Snyoli Lieta community. In the formulation of legal policy, the existence of the living law in society becomes one of the legal sources for addressing existing issues, although it must align with the values contained in Pancasila, the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, human rights, and general legal principles recognized by the community of nations. This strengthens the position of the living law in society, which has consistently served as a source of law for resolving conflicts that arise within the community, particularly in Letti Island, West Maluku Regency, famous for its Snyoli-lieta culture
