This studyaims to know the process of marriage assimilation of Banjar and Arab Ethnics. The method used in this study is a qualitative method. Data collection was done through observation, interview, and documentation. The data were analyzed using the analysis of data reduction measures, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of this study indicated that the assimilation of different ethnics in mixed marriages must go through a process such as groups of people or people of different cultures interacting directly and intensively for a long time, and for a mixed marriage interacting into a marriage, cultures of the human group each change and adjust each other. Driving factors such as tolerance and inhibiting factors are absent in the Banjar and Arab intercultural families, and they will also have implications for their respective lives. Based on the results of this study, it is suggested that we should not emphasize differences such as cultural differences among ethnic groups because Indonesia is a multicultural country, which must uphold single diversity, which is different, but still one.
