Juridical Review of Marriage Registration Under Hand

Abstract

Marriage registration is not a requirement for a valid marriage, but is an effort to create administrative order. The statement of Absolute Responsibility (SPTJM) contained in the Minister of Home Affairs Regulation Number 9 of 2016 is the government’s attempt to provide a solution to the problem of population administration, where there are still many people who do not have population documents. Based on this policy, people who carry out unregistered marriages can make a family card using the SPTJM as a subtitute for a marriage certificate. So this study aims to determine the status of marriage registration after the Minister of Home Affairs Regulation Number 9 of 2016, as well as the legal consequences arising from the use of SPTJM for unregistered marriage partners. The research method used is normative, carried out by examining library materials or secondary data coupled with interviews. The reseach results that need to be considered are that the SPTJM doesn’t legalize the occurrence of a marriage, but only speeds up the process of collecting population administration data at the Population and Civil Registry Service. Therefore, registration of marriages is important so that people have legal certainty regarding their martial status.
