Summary
People will be faced with various forms of choices that require humans to choose one of the various options that are considered the best. The marriage relationship can unite husband and wife in a bond expected to build a happy household. Marriage is an essential step in a person's life that needs to be considered when making that decision (Latifah & Wahyuni, 2019). According to Law Number 1 of 1974, Article 1 concerning marriage, it defines marriage as an inner and outer bond between a man and woman as husband and wife to form a happy and eternal family or household based on the one and only God. Islam views marriage as something sacred because, by marrying, Muslims have carried out worship to Allah and followed the sunnah of the Prophet, which is based on sincerity, responsibility, and obeying the provisions that must be implemented (Agustina, 2011)
