Analysis of Marriage Law Issues: State Law and Islamic Law
Abstract
Many parties argue that the Marriage Law urgently needs revision because it is considered outdated and unable to address various marital issues in the modern era. Therefore, there are still many provisions that need to be amended or added to the Marriage Law. The purpose of this study is to analyze legal issues related to marriage in Indonesia based on state law and Islamic law. This research focuses on a normative-juridical analysis covering legal principles, legal systematics, and legal synchronization. The research specification is descriptive-analytical, while the data analysis is conducted using a qualitative-juridical approach. To complement the secondary data, interviews are planned with informants including judges from the religious courts and the general courts, as well as legal practitioners. The results show that interfaith marriage is clearly prohibited in Islam and generally also not permitted in other religions. Same-sex marriage is also strictly prohibited under both religious law and state law, because one of the main purposes of marriage is to produce offspring and ensure the continuity of human life. Meanwhile, unregistered marriages (sirri) and contract marriages are considered invalid because they are not officially registered at the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) or the Civil Registry Office. This study concludes that there remain a number of provisions in the Marriage Law that need to be revised, particularly regarding the establishment of firm and clear sanctions for violations of marriage law, especially for those involved in interfaith marriages, same-sex marriages, unregistered marriages, and contract marriages.
