Maladministration in Indonesia's Interreligious Marriage

In Indonesia, the polemic on interfaith marriages has not yet ended, even though over time and the times. Even though the issue of interreligious Marriage has been handled and regulated in the Marriage Law, there are still many people who practice it. In Indonesia, interfaith marriages cause not only legal problems but also administrative ones. There are still exceptions to the Marriage Act that allow couples to marry across religions. Because according to positive Indonesian Law, Marriage is not equated with a simple genetic relationship. However, the administration must prove a legal relationship with the state, including the registration of marriages. The research method used is a qualitative research method with a literature approach. The results of the study state that there are still gaps and opportunities for maladministration in interfaith marriages. The behavior occurs in the form of apostasy or changing religions before Marriage, then changing beliefs after Marriage. This was done to get the legality of Marriage in the form of a marriage book. These maladministration opportunities must be closed and eliminated by making government regulations or giving strict sanctions to the perpetrators of maladministration. The sanctions are criminal or fines for people who carry out legal smuggling like this.

Methodological Principles of the Study of Marriage and Family Relations in Islam

The article is devoted to the problem of studying the issues of marriage and family relations in the Muslim theological discourse. Theologians have paid special attention to the institution of the family since the early epoch of the Fiqh, and their works bear witness to this. They contain concise principles with the help of which they justified theological conclusions aimed at solving marital and family problems. A deep analysis of these works helped to identify these principles, the study of which will help modern theologians to understand the goals of Sharia in the field of family relations and will effectively resolve the problems of marriage and family relations.

Study of Stable Social Relations in the Family in the Works of Eastern Thinkers

In this article, since ancient times, advanced persons in society, scientists, scholars and sages have paid particular attention to the issues of family and marriage. Abu Raikhan Beruni, Abu Ali ibn Sina, Abu Nasr Farabi, Yusuf Khos Hajib, Kaykovus, Alisher Navoi, Abdullah Avloni, Abdurauf Fitrat, many great scholars and scientists of the East left behind many scientific and practical ideas about raising a well-rounded person in their family and family social relations. These ideas are great importance for modern science and practice. Eastern thinkers of the past emphasized the importance of the family and family education in the maturity and development of a well-rounded person. In particular, they paid special attention to the fact that interpersonal relations in the family, the moral formation of the father and mother have a special place in the upbringing of the child, that the integrity and harmony of the family depend on all the family members. The Avesta, a book of Zoroastrianism written 2700 years earlier, states that the family is a sacred place, and that husbands and wives are equally responsible for the stability of family relations, especially in raising children. The following is said about what depends on the peace and well-being of the family: “Porso, if a person restore a house and allocates a place for fire, his family, his wife and children, if his house is filled with good things and his wife and children live comfortably, if there is faith, constant fire, and other things in abundance in his house, that address is respectable”. At the same time, it is explained that what should be paid special attention to ensure positive and stable relations in the family. According to the Avesta, it is better for the father to be the leader in the family.

Enlightenment Thinkers on Marriage

Two centuries after Montaigne's reflective discussion of marriage in the sixteenth century, Enlightenment thinkers also expressed their views on the issue of marriage. In his Letters to the Persians, Montesquieu expressed his desire for a "marriage of the heart", a contract in which the marriage should be based on the unity of the couple's temperament, and therefore the marriage should be dissolved if the temperament is not compatible. In addition, marriage is a matter of social welfare and interest, so the secular and religious powers should reconcile their handling of marriage matters and avoid conflicts between civil and religious laws as much as possible. Voltaire, on the other hand, fully supported the secularization of marriage and demanded a strict distinction between the content and the form of marriage, contract and sacrament. He claimed that the Church's interference in marriage matters would threaten the secular authority and lead to the disruption of the laws of the state. Secular authority should prevail, and religious law should not undermine civil law. Rousseau, on the other hand, saw good marriage as a necessary condition for the formation of political citizens. Marriage is not a "natural" situation, but rather it is related to the obligations and nature of the state, and thus the marriage relationship is essentially political. Although each of the three Enlightenment thinkers had a distinctive view of marriage, they also showed a striking consensus, especially in linking marriage to society, which was different from the individualistic view of marriage in the Renaissance. The purpose of this paper is to explore the conceptions of marriage by Enlightenment thinkers to better understand the changes in the concept of marriage since the Renaissance and the issues of marriage before and after the French Revolution that underlie them.

Consent and Other Ancillary Matters as Requirements of a Customary Marriage: LNM v MMM (2020/11024) [2021] ZAGPJHC 563 (11 June 2021)

Consent may be seen as a fundamental human right. On the issue of marriage, people should only be married with their consent. A marriage without consent is a forced marriage. Section 3(1)(a)(ii) of the Recognition of Customary Marriages Act 120 of 1998 not only requires consent, but also requires specific consent for a marriage to take place under customary law. The Act is clear that consent to being married under customary law is one of the requirements for validity. If specific consent is lacking, there cannot be a valid customary marriage. This case note focusses on the decision in LNM v MMM where specific consent was one of the issues. It discusses whether consent of the guardian is still a requirement for customary marriages under the Act. It also discusses the required specific consent in detail and then considers the form that specific consent should take, noting that specific consent should not be inferred from the act of negotiating and delivering ilobolo as African people do for a civil marriage. In LNM v MMM the court also held that the handing over of the bride is "not imperative". By this, the court meant that the handing over of the bride was an unnecessary custom. This is not in accordance with the cases referred to in the judgment. This case note will respond to this. Should a customary marriage without specific consent to marry under customary law be annulled?

Dampak Psikologis Dan Sosiologis Terhadap Pernikahan Berbeda Setatus Kewarganegaraan

The purpose of this research study is to find out the psychological and social impact on marriage of different citizenship status, in terms of the individualism it feels. The method used to see the psychological and sociological impact on marriage with different citizenship status is by using a literature study research method. This literature study (library research) was taken from several journals, books, and news related to issues of marriage between different countries, from a legal, religious, social, psychological perspective and the relationship between the two. The results of this study can be concluded that, the psychological impact that occurs from both partners, namely: (1) Difficulty in achieving goals in marriage, goals in marriages of different nationalities are like clothes that are used during life. Spirits, beliefs and habits that become rules continue to be added to each person who obeys both in his beliefs and society, including in household life. (2) Maintaining two large families from different countries, all risks must be accepted in marriages of different nationality status because everything is a choice made in finding a partner he chooses in marriage. (3) Fighting for influence in decision-making, both partners usually have a role and impact for their children to follow, especially habits in behavior and religion that they believe in. Then the sociological impacts can be concluded, (1) Communication that has not been fully maximized from the two partners, each individual with other individuals must communicate which is the main tool for fellow individuals to know each other and work together as well as make physical and non-physical contact directly or indirectly direct. (2) The socio-cultural differences held between the two partners, family life in different countries are described as examples of the activities of individual persons as part of which will continue to change at any time.

혼인의사의 합치에 대한 재평가

This paper examines the agreement to marry from a new perspective as follows.
 The intention to marry refers to the intention of effect that desires the effects that occur in legal marriage relationships, and this is a requirement for the effect of marriage. However, the agreement to marry is not made through reporting. In other words, marriage reporting is a separate requirement for the formation of legal marriage, and it is not a method of declaring intention. Therefore, the intention to report is not included in the intention to marry, and even if the intention to report is lacking, marriage is formed as long as marriage reporting is made. This is because the requirement for the formation of marriage is marriage reporting, not the intention to report. Furthermore, after the formation of marriage, the validity or invalidity of marriage depends on the presence of the intention of effect.
 There may be concerns about leaving the issue of unilateral marriage reporting unresolved due to the absence of the requirement for intention to report, but this is a problem that should be addressed by supplementing the procedure for marriage reporting. Under the legal marriage system, if the true intention of the parties regarding the effects of legal marriage exists and the requirement for marriage reporting is met, a valid marriage should be allowed. In addition, it is more desirable to consider legislatively recognizing juristic acts in various spectrum similar to marriage, rather than broadly allowing de facto marital relations, in order to address the issue that allowing marriage reporting without the requirement for intention to report can reduce the possibility of existence.

Self –Delusion in Doris Lessing's The Grass is Singing (1950)

This study presents Doris Lessing as one of the most accomplished and significant British writers of the post-World War II generation. Her work looks into The Grass is Singing (1950) from a psychological, socio-cultural and economic point of view. It attempts to analyze the bleak and the tragic causes and effects of self-delusion in the lives of female and male characters alike in a racist society grappling with a number of deep-rooted social and political misconceptions and misjudgments. Moreover, it showcases a recycled series of psychological problems the main female protagonist faces due to her delusional beliefs which end only with her tragic death. It also sheds light on the importance of knowing oneself in a baffling and fragmented world enmeshed with people caught tight in the grip of self-made delusional conceptions in an attempt to cope with the challenges set by modern life. This fact can be discerned through the analysis of Lessing's representative novel: The Grass is Singing (1950) from Autobiographical, psychoanalytical and existentialist perspectives to make readers familiar with the destructive power of delusion and self-delusion in life. Lessing tackles issues that are at the essential concern to whole humanity around the world; therefore, this study can be taken as an attempt and an entry point of highlighting some aspects of the creative and innovative intellectual accomplishments of any truly concerned and committed writer with mankind problems in the world regardless to gender, race and educational and cultural background. The study is in two sections. Section one is concerned with the analysis of The Grass is Singing (its abbreviated form is TGS), and Lessing's narrative creativity through reader's concentration on causes rather than results. The second section presents racial discrimination and self-delusion in the text, taking childhood trauma into consideration and the issues of Marriage and Self- Delusion followed by conclusions and Bibliography.

Esau’s wives and the question of cross-ethnic marriage in Genesis

Esau‘s marriage to Hittite women has been explained by many as a wrongful act that placed him outside the chosen family. By this interpretation, commentators over the years have overtly and covertly endorsed ethnocentrism. As African readers, what are we to make of such interpretations, in the complex context of multiple ethnicities in Africa? In this paper, I interrogated the issue of crossethnic marriages in the Old Testament, using the case of Esau and his wives. Isolating three texts that focus on Esau‘s marriage (Gen 26:45, 27:46, and 28: 1-9), and using literary analysis, I read the texts in a way that suppresses the ethnocentric overtones of the narrative. This was achieved mainly through exploring the gaps within the narratives. My reading revealed that there was no explicit condemnation by the narrator of Esau’s marriage to Hittite women. It was also revealed that the behaviour of Esau’s wives towards their in-laws, not their ethnic background, was the source of strife. Since a poor management of the high ethnic and cultural diversities in African countries can lead to conflicts, African biblical scholars need to interrogate ethnocentric narratives through a constructive engagement with the Bible.

A Interfaith Marriage based on Positive Law and Protestantism Perspective

Interfaith marriage is currently being widely discussed and is actually not a new thing for the multicultural Indonesian people. The marriage has occurred in the community (in various social dimensions) and has been going on for a long time. However, it does not also mean that the issue of interfaith marriage is not a problem, in fact it tends to always reap controversy among the public. There is an assumption that the cause is the existence of Law no. 1 of 1974 as amended by Law no. 16 of 2019 concerning Marriage, which does not accommodate interfaith marriage issues. The problems that have arisen recently are interfaith marriages are also widely opposed among the community, for example among Protestant Christians, because interfaith marriages are still considered taboo because according to Protestant Christianity, interfaith marriages will cause new problems in the future for descendants and in administration. Therefore, until now, there is no Protestant Christian religious leader who has agreed to legalize interfaith marriages because it is written in the Bible 2 Corinthians 6:14, which reads: "Do not be an unequal partner with unbelievers". Whereas, an unequal partner means that there are the differences in belief, so that according to the Protestant Christian faith, interfaith marriages are not approved. The prohibition of interfaith marriages is also the same as the view of Islam as stated in the Central MUI Fatwa Number: 4/Munas/VII/MUI/8/2005 which emphasizes the prohibition of interfaith marriages, both marriages between a Muslim woman and a non-Muslim, as well as marriages between a Muslim woman and a non-Muslim woman. a Muslim man with a woman of the people of the book.

Keabsahan Perkawinan Sesama Jenis Sebagai Gejala Sosial Dalam Perspektif Hukum Alam

The issue of marriage is always interesting to study, this is because what is regulated in marriage is the relationship between men and women as husband and wife. Furthermore, marriage also regulates the obligations of the husband and wife towards the children born of their relationship. In its development, marriages that occur in society are not only carried out between men and women, but have reached marriages of the same gender or gender, both marriages between men and other men as husband and wife, as well as women with another woman. The purpose of this study is to determine the validity of same-sex marriage in the perspective of the flow of natural law. The method used is the juridical-normative method with a statutory approach and legal philosophy. The results of this study are that the flow of natural law is closely related to divine morality. Good and bad, wrong and right, proper and inappropriate, are measured according to divine moral standards. Therefore, human behavior and/or regulations made by humans that deviate and conflict with natural laws cannot be accepted and/or cannot be referred to as laws. Thus, marriage of the same gender in the context of national and state life in Indonesia is unacceptable and invalid because it is not in harmony with divine moral values.

Микродемографические процессы в аграрной области: точки роста и островки устойчивости. Тамбовская область, конец XX – начало XXI века

Importance. In modern conditions of depopulation and migration outflow of rural population it is important to study the facts of sustainable development of rural population and factors of such stability. Materials and methods. The research is based on the published and Internet statistical materials of the settlement level. A sample of several dozens of urban-type settlements and suburban rural councils located in rural areas is created as an object of study. Sociological materials on the issue of marriage of rural population are also involved. Results and Discussion. The research show that the population dynamics in the selected group of settlements at the beginning of the 21st century developed unevenly. Along with the reduction in the number of residents in most settlements and villages there were facts of the indicator growth due to migration inflow. The cases of population growth and decline in some segments of the last decades indicate the non-linearity of demographic processes. The revealed order of figures in the indicators of natural and migratory movement of residents of the studied settlements indicates the absence of extreme values. The study of the problem of economic employment of residents of suburban rural settlements and urban-type settlements show a considerable number of jobs to retain the population in these settlements. Conclusions. Demographic data at the micro-level do not allow us to speak about widespread depopulation and devastation of the rural population of the Tambov Region. But “islands of stability” and “growth points” should be studied more thoroughly, using interdisciplinary approaches of humanitarian, socio-political, natural and other exact sciences.

Marriage and Partnership in Modern Protestant Denominations: From Christian Canons to New Norms

Introduction. The problem of recognition of same-sex marriages and partnerships in recent decades has become particularly acute in public discourse. Polar points of view are expressed: from the inadmissibility of homosexual marriages to the legalization of same-sex relationships and the need for church consecration of such unions. Christian churches today are forced to publicly state their position regarding homosexual marriages and partnerships, defining the boundaries of interaction between parishioners and clergymen who are faced with such issues. Some Protestant denominations in Europe and America recognize same-sex marriages, arguing their position not with the canonical norms of Christianity, but with the concept of human rights, freedom of choice and individual autonomy, as well as the laws of those countries where such unions are already legalized. The purpose of the article is to study the approaches that have developed in various Protestant denominations regarding the problem of recognizing same-sex marriages and partnerships. Materials and Methods. Analysis of doctrinal documents, social concepts of Protestant churches, content analysis of public statements of representatives of various Protestant communities made it possible to identify the peculiarities of attitudes towards the problem of same-sex marriages and partnerships at the present stage. Results. The positions of various Protestant denominations regarding same-sex marriages and partnerships are presented, the main approaches to the processes of regulation of this problem in the church are identified. These approaches are due to the influence of secular legislation and the prevailing system of values in countries where Protestantism is widespread. Discussion and Conclusion. Changing the norms and disciplinary rules in both secular and church life is a natural process of social development. The norms governing relations between the sexes, issues of marriage and the family, the rules that set the boundaries of what is acceptable and what is unacceptable in social behavior, have always been the subject of discussion, change, abolition and recognition. The problem of same-sex marriage and recognition from Christian churches, on the one hand, demonstrates a normative transformation in morality, religion and law, on the other hand, characterizes the rejection of Christian canons in favor of the concept of human rights and “new ethics”.

Political Intermarriage between Seljuk's sultans with Islamic and non-Islamic forces

In view we can see that the Islamic eras in general and the Seljuk era in particular, we see that historians paid great attention to the political and military life in that era, we do not have enough information in the sources about the intermarriages of the sultans, and this is due to the fact that the research in social life in the ages Islam was linked to a large extent with the traditions prevailing in that era, especially since those traditions were conservative with regard to personal status, including the issue of marriage. Some intermarriages took place in that era, and the Seljuk sultans used intermarriages to assemble and hold the family, and they used it as a means of reconciliation and truce between them and the other side of the prevailing forces in the region, and among those Islamic forces, and other than with the non-state forces. and it was a factor of rapprochement between the two sides and at other times a factor of dissonance and distance between them.

Forging Strong and Purposeful Husband-and-Wife Relations: An Africana Womanist Study of Love in Kireni Zulu’s Songs “Zveimba” and “Ndichakuvaraidza”

In many African societies, the relationship between a husband and a wife is a matter of interest to many in the grand scheme of things. Mutual investment between wife and husband is celebrated for the immense value that goes with it, while lack thereof is debilitating. This article comparatively engages Kireni Zulu’s songs “Zveimba” (Marriage issues) and “Ndichakuvaraidza” (I will comfort you). Mutual cooperation between marriage partners is extolled as the magic formula to more humane life conditions born out of love, peace and harmony in the family. On the contrary, a schism is castigated as an impediment to human progress. Critical engagements in this paper are decidedly Africana womanist.

On Montaigne's View of Divorce: The Father of the French Renaissance

The father of the French Renaissance in the 16th century is famous for his representative work "Les Essais", and subsequently European and American scholars have conducted solid and specific studies on many topics. Why does Montaigne's view of divorce deserve attention? As we all know, one of the important themes of the 16th century literary reflection is "divorce", and it is the consensus of thinkers to pay attention to the problem of divorce. In French literature, marriage was a topic that the creators could not avoid. The novels of the aristocratic salons and the novels of the citizens are full of discussions on the issue of marriage. However, the trend of reflecting on divorce in the 16th century was first initiated by Montaigne, who devoted a considerable part of his “Les Essais”to his views on marriage and especially to his attack on the prohibition of divorce. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the connotation and characteristics of Montaigne's view on divorce and the reasons for its creation. And also understand the unique features of Montaigne's view on divorce and to deepen the knowledge of "individualism" and "humanist morality" in Montaigne's thought on this basis.

Problems of Different Religion Marriage in Indonesia Attached to Positive Law

Interfaith marriages are indeed not a new thing for the multicultural Indonesian society. The marriage has occurred in the community (in various social dimensions) and has been going on for a long time. However, this does not mean that the issue of interfaith marriage is not an issue, in fact it tends to always be controversial among the people. There is an assumption that the cause is the existence of Law no. 1 of 1974 which does not accommodate the issue of interfaith marriages. Therefore, it is interesting to analyze interfaith marriages according to Law Number 16 of 2019 concerning Amendments to Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage and the regulation of interfaith marriages based on positive law. The specifications of this research are descriptive, the type of research is normative juridical, the method of approaching the law. The technique of collecting data is through document study, as well as the analysis is carried out in a qualitative normative manner. Based on the results of the analysis, it is concluded that interfaith marriages in Indonesia are still not regulated with certainty in the laws and regulations in Indonesia, but there are several articles related to interfaith marriages such as Article 2 Paragraph (1) and Article 8 letter (f) of the Law. Law Number 16 of 2019 concerning Amendments to Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage, Article 35 of Law Number 23 of 2006 concerning Population Administration and Articles 40 and 44 of Presidential Instruction Number 1 of 1991 concerning the Compilation of Islamic Law. Interfaith marriages based on positive law provide several interpretations, due to the fact that life in Indonesia is a pluralistic society, so that there are not a few interfaith marriages, therefore through Law Number 23 of 2006 concerning Population Administration, the government seeks to fill the legal vacuum by including the authority of the Civil Registry Office to register interfaith marriages after obtaining a decision from the court as regulated in Article 35 letter (a).
