Abstract

The Liberal Islamic Network (JIL) is a community with progressive thoughts. The community whose routine agenda deals with the discussion of social and religious issues believe that there are different ideas with what most Muslim scholars commonly follow particularly in social aspects of Muslim daily lives (mu’ammalah). The liberal thoughts they campaign brought the writer to a comprehensive research on their cross-religion marriage perspective that is nationally known by among most people nowadays. This research was mainly aimed to find out why the Liberal Islamic Network allows a cross-religion marriage which has long been prohibited by both Islamic legal system and Indonesian positive common law. The findings of the research help the writer find the fact that the idea of the Liberal Islamic Network is based on several approaches, i.e. history, normative theology, philosophy and sociology. The Liberal Islamic Network makes some interpretations on well-known religious texts that are understood as the major issue which forbids the cross-religion marriage. It interprets these religious texts using non-liberal methods with some adjustments towards the socio-cultural condition and the context of people especially in Indonesia. The plural and universal values which have been the main icon of the Network were also proposed to be the basic value of permitting this kind of marriage

Summary

Introduction

Cross-Religion Marriage in the Perspective of Liberal Islamic Network (JIL): The Liberal Islamic Network (JIL) is a community with progressive thoughts. Dalam hal ini JIL yang berpandangan dengan dasar realativisme kebenaran agama dan kemaslahatan, tidak mempermasalahkan perkawinan antara seorang Muslim dengan non-Muslim, baik laki-laki maupun perempuan. Karena tidak ada dalil al-Qur’an yang melarang, maka berarti sudah menajadi dalil diperbolehkannya, sehingga pernikahan perempuan Muslimah dengan laki-laki nonMuslim diperbolehkan.[16] Jadi pernikahan orang Islam, baik antar lakilaki maupun perempuan dengan agama apapun menurut JIL boleh dilakukan.
