However, it is also possible for women to be appointed as heirs, that is, in the case of the girl being appointed as a sentana rajeg or the status of a girl is changed from predana to purusa status. Based on the background of this research problem formulation as follows: how is the obligation for the manners of Balu Luh in the Suter Bangli Customary Village and how the authority of the manners  for  the  inheritance  of  her  husband.  The  type  of  research  used  is empirical legal research. The results of this research discussion are as follows: Obligations for manners in the village of Suter Bangli, among others, take care of the inheritance of her deceased husband well, behave well, enforce discipline, obey the obligations, carry out obligations, panca yadnya and others, which are then referred to as her husband's legacy properly balu pageh, the widow's right as long as only enjoying it can not sell, give, and give it to others except with the consent of her children and the family of her late husband if her children are still small.
