Menakar Pencatatan Perkawinan di Indonesia Perspektif Kaidah Fiqhiyyah: Antara Legalitas Negara dan Keabsahan Syariah

This research examines marriage registration in Indonesia through the lens of fiqhiyyah principles, exploring its role in determining marriage validity. Using a descriptive-analytical approach, this library-based study draws data from various sources, including books, journals, scholarly works, the Qur'an, hadith, dictionaries, encyclopedias, laws, court decisions, and other available documents. The findings reveal two primary perspectives on marriage registration: one views it as a non-essential administrative step that serves merely as evidence of marriage, while the other sees it as an additional requirement for marriage validity. Despite these differing opinions, fiqhiyyah principles emphasize that marriage registration, although not a determinant of validity, is a legal obligation that all Indonesians must observe. This requirement is grounded in the principles of promoting welfare and preventing harm. Thus, marriage registration serves as a means to support these goals, ensuring that state legality and sharia validity align to fulfill the objectives of marriage.

Education of the "SusCatinTing" application on changes in knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of brides-to-be

The "SusCatinTing" application is a digital health intervention designed to enhance the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of brides-to-be regarding stunting prevention during the critical first 1000 days of life. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of this application in improving stunting prevention efforts among brides-to-be in Bengkulu Province, Indonesia. The application provides educational content on healthy pregnancy, maternal nutrition, and stunting prevention strategies, incorporating both text and audio explanations to ensure accessibility for illiterate and visually impaired users. A quantitative research design was employed, utilizing a single-group pretest-posttest approach involving 50 pairs of brides-to-be with internet-connected Android smartphones. Data collection was conducted through structured questionnaires administered by trained enumerators, focusing on KAP related to stunting prevention. The results indicated a significant improvement in KAP scores post-intervention (knowledge score increase: 42.59, p < 0.001). The application’s unique features, including interactive quizzes and a certification process for marriage registration at the Office of Religious Affairs, contributed to its effectiveness. The study concludes that the "SusCatinTing" application is a promising tool for enhancing health education and promoting preventive behaviors among brides-to-be. Further research is recommended to explore the long-term impact of such digital interventions on stunting rates and maternal-child health outcomes.

Analysis of Interfaith Marriage Arrangements in Islamic Family Law: Multiculturalism and Social Harmony Perspectives

This research aims to understand the analysis of Interfaith Marriage Arrangements in Islamic Family Law: Multiculturalism and Social Harmony Perspectives.Normative research is legal research that places law as a system of norms. The norm system itself is related to the principles, norms, rules of the legislation itself. The approach of examining statutory regulations aims to find out how consistent and appropriate the laws are with the legal problem or case being studied. Data collection techniques are a way of recording events or information, characteristics and all forms of information that describe the object of research. The results of research on interfaith marriages according to Islamic law as contained in the Word of Allah, Surah al-Baqarah verse 221, have confirmed that interfaith marriages are absolutely forbidden, apart from that, if you continue to carry out an interfaith marriage, many disputes will arise in the household because both partners have different opinions and beliefs. Interfaith marriage in Indonesia is a reality that continues to occur even though state law and religious law expressly prohibit it. In fact, if you look closely, Law no. 39 of 1999 concerning Human Rights in Indonesia does not explicitly regulate interfaith marriages. On the issue of more detailed marriage regulations, including the issue of interfaith marriages, Human Rights still returns it to the applicable laws and regulations, which in this case the Marriage Law in Indonesia is Law no. 1 in 1974.

Juridical Implications Of Family Card Issuance For Siri Marriage Couples On Child Status

Marriage is not legally valid or not listed as an issue that is hotly discussed in various perspectives. Registration of marriage is basically necessary as a protection of the state to the parties to the marriage, and also to avoid the tendency of inconsistency in the application of religious teachings and beliefs in a perfect or intact marriage that took place according to religion and belief. This study is a type of normative juridical research. This is because normative juridical research is the type of research that is most relevant to the conflict of norms that occurs and can find detailed and detailed answers to the formulation of the problem to be studied. Based on the Marriage Act No. 1 of 1974 article 1 that marriage is the inner and outer bond between a man and a woman as husband and wife whose purpose is to form a prosperous and eternal family based on the Supreme Godhead. Understanding the inner inner Bond in this marriage is a bond or legal relationship between one man and one woman whose purpose is to live together as husband and wife status. According to the Quran a Muslim is one who has absolutely surrendered to Allah and his commands and believes in pure Tawhid (the oneness of God) that isn't tainted with any shirk and this is why the Almighty has introduced prophet Abraham as a true worshipper. In The Marriage Act No.1 of 1974 Article 2 Paragraph (1) explained that marriage is valid if it is done according to religion and beliefs, with the added sound in Paragraph (2) that each marriage is recorded according to applicable laws and regulations. If the marriage is valid, then the child born from the marriage will obtain legal status as a legitimate child as stipulated by Article 42 of the marriage law. It can be concluded that if the marriage is invalid, then the child born from the marriage does not occupy the position of a legitimate child.

Nikāh Sirri and Its Impact: The Perspective of Maqashid Ash-Shari’ah of Imam Asy-Syathiby

Background. The legal status of nikāh sirri (secret or unregistered marriage) is controversial because it is not announced and not officially recorded. The views of scholars on secret marriage and the factors causing it, as well as the legal regulations in force in Indonesia, need to be studied. Aim. Examines nikāh sirri from the perspective of maqāṣid asy-syari’ah, which includes five essential goals of Islamic law: the maintaining religion (hifẓ ad-dīn), soul (hifẓ an-nafs), descendants (hifẓ an-nasl), property (hifẓ al-māl), and reason (hifẓ al-’aql). Method. This research utilizes a literature review with a descriptive-analytical approach to Islamic jurisprudence and relevant regulations. Result. Nikāh sirri causes more harm (mafsadat) than benefit (maslahat), particularly concerning the rights of wives and children in inheritance, financial support, and legal protection.

The formal registration of marriage is crucial for ensuring the protection of family rights.

Analisis Dampak Pernyataan Kementrian Agama yang menjadikan KUA sebagai Tempat Pernikahan semua Agama

Statement from the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag) regarding the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) as a place for marriages of all religions is an issue widely discussed by scholars and religious leaders. KUA is a government institution responsible for carrying out some of the tasks related to Islamic religious affairs in Indonesia. However, the Ministry of Religious Affairs has prepared KUA to become a place for marriages of all religions, with regulations, infrastructure, human resources, and cross-religious marriage counseling programs in place. There are legal regulatory obstacles in implementing Kemenag's proposal, but efforts are underway to prepare infrastructure and programs to maximize supervision of marriage registration, especially for non-Muslims. KUA not only plays a role in conducting marriages for Muslims, but cross-religious marriage counseling programs have also been practiced in several KUAs, such as in Kintamani, Bangli, Bali, and Bangka Belitung. The purpose of this research is to analyze the issues surrounding KUA becoming a place for marriages of all religions. The research method used is qualitative research accompanied by field research at the Office of Religious Affairs in the city of Semarang . The results of this research include the discrepancies between the issues created by some news on television or social media not aligning with the regulatory planning as intended. KUA will only be used as a place for registering marriages of all religions; beyond that, various perspectives emerge from the community, community leaders, and KUA officials who oppose the policy if it were to be fully realized.

Wallimahtul Ursy as the Embryo of the Birth of Marriage Registration According to Islamic Law

This research aims to provide an illustration that by carrying out a marriage according to Islamic religious law without going through a marriage notification at the KUA, known as nikah sirri, then making a walimah to announce the marriage shows that there are no obstacles to the marriage being carried out.This research uses normative juridical research methods using primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials as well as statutory regulations and legal concepts.The results of the research show that if the sirri marriage is carried out by the guardian as a form of announcement to the public, then the marriage is considered valid because the conditions have been fulfilled and are in harmony and can be published which can be interpreted as a form of recording. because previously there was no institution for marriage registration. Walimah shows that a valid marriage has been carried out according to Islamic law, so that there are no longer any obstacles to the marriage. The function of recording according to state law is for everyone to know and serve as evidence for the parties. Making a walimah means wanting to announce the marriage and provide evidence to the public and government that a valid marriage has been carried out so that it can be reported administratively for recording.

Problematic issues arising in the field of state registration of acts of civil status

State registration of civil status acts is one of the forms of public services in the field of administrative law. The public service orientation of executive authorities and local self-government bodies is a priority in the decentralization processes which are taking place in Ukraine today. The focus of the local government reform is on people, and one of the important factors of their comfort is the provision of quality administrative services. Every day, children are born in Ukraine, some get married, some get divorced, and some die. Despite all the difficulties that exist today, the service of state registration of civil status acts is the most popular among Ukrainian citizens. The armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine has made many adjustments to our everyday life and the life of the country as a whole. Despite all the challenges, the legislator is trying to facilitate bureaucratic procedures, including in the field of civil registration. The latest technologies are being actively introduced, and amendments and additions are being made to the legislation in the field of state civil registration. Despite the significant progress in civil registration legislation, some difficulties arise in practice, especially in situations of state registration of marriage or divorce when one of the spouses is a military officer, or if one of the spouses is abroad, or in the area of active hostilities, or in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. Regarding the temporarily occupied territories, unfortunately, during the 10 years of armed conflict, Ukraine has not been able to simplify the procedure for legitimizing civil status acts issued in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. Therefore, Ukrainian citizens must go to court to recognize facts that have legal significance. Therefore, it is necessary for the legislator to resolve the problematic issues related to state registration of civil status acts.

Legal Analysis of Inconsistencies in Child Marriage Regulations

This study analyzes the inconsistencies in child marriage regulations in Indonesia, which result in legal uncertainty in efforts to protect children through the marriage dispensation process. By employing both normative and sociological approaches, the study examines the legal implications of these regulatory disparities and assesses the marriage dispensation process from a benefit-based perspective. The findings reveal that the inconsistency in regulations leads to unequal legal protection for children involved in marriage, highlighting the urgent need for harmonizing laws and strengthening child protection mechanisms. Improvements are necessary not only in the Child Protection Law but also in the revision of the Marriage Law, taking into account the broader responsibility of the state in safeguarding children. Although the Marriage Law sets a minimum age for marriage, it still allows for loopholes through marriage dispensation, reflecting an inconsistency in legislative efforts to protect children. The overlap between different legal provisions creates uncertainty in the legality of child marriages, as different interpretations of the laws can lead to varying legal outcomes. This study identifies two key issues: the legal consequences of regulatory inconsistencies in child marriages and how marriage dispensation is viewed from a benefit perspective. Using a normative legal research method, the study draws on primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources, including legislation and court decisions, and analyzes the data qualitatively. The results indicate that the regulatory inconsistencies create legal uncertainty in the protection of children in marriages approved through dispensation. Therefore, protecting these marriages from a benefit perspective is essential, as the dispensation process serves as a form of legal protection for children, rather than defying the rule of law.

Kajian Yuridis Terhadap Perkawinan Beda Agama Setelah Keluarnya SEMA Nomor 2 Tahun 2023 Tentang Penolakan Permohonan Pencatatan Perkawinan Beda Agama

The aim of this research is to determine the impact of SEMA No. 2 of 2023 regarding the constitutional rights of people in interfaith marriages from the perspective of the principle of legal certainty. The trigger factor for the emergence of SEMA is because there is a legal loophole for couples who want to carry out an interfaith marriage, in Article 2 paragraph 1 of Law No. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage, it is explained that to carry out a marriage they must adhere to their respective religious beliefs. In this article there is no explanation that interfaith marriages are prohibited, then the emergence of regulations regarding marriage registration in Article 35 letter a of the Population Administration Law explains in this article that marriages are carried out between religions. With this gap of uncertainty, the couple continued with an interfaith marriage, so the Supreme Court issued a circular for judges to reject the application for interfaith marriage and provide legal certainty.To achieve this goal, the author uses a normative juridical approach. The data used in this research is secondary data as the main data which includes primary legal material, secondary legal material and tertiary legal material. Data was analyzed qualitatively. Conclusion: the impact of the emergence of SEMA Number 2 of 2023 concerning rejection of requests for interfaith marriages, is a step to provide clarity on the confusion that occurs in society and as a guide for judges in rejecting requests for interfaith marriages. Then the emergence of SEMA gave rise to pros and cons in society. Rejection considers discrimination against personal rights in the context of marriage and limits the independence of judges in adjudicating trials.

Family Matters: Enhancing Insight in Linked Administrative Data Through Familial Linkage

ObjectiveFamilial relationships can provide researchers with important insight into genetic, environmental, and social influences across many domains of research. While most administrative datasets do not collect information about relationships, familial linkage is an approach which seeks to identify such relationships among individuals within a linked data environment. We sought to develop a familial linkage resource which permits researchers access to relationship information otherwise not available in unlinked disparate administrative collections. ApproachLeveraging birth and marriage registration data, we sought to identify relationships between Victorians. Familial links were formed by summarising relationships that were either explicit in the data (e.g. Parent and Child), or implied (e.g. A parent of a parent is a grandparent). Resulting relationship data was stored in a data asset which interfaces with our linkage infrastructure for easy access and use by linked data end-users. ResultsThrough familial linkage, we have identified over 8.8 million unique relationships for Victorians, spanning 24 relationship subtypes which include both biological and non-biological connections. This data can be linked to all administrative datasets within our linkage environment, however representation varies across sources. Overall, the highest coverage of known relationships is found in datasets which specialise in child services, while older Victorians remain a gap. Conclusion and ImplicationsFamilial linkage offers new dimensions of insight to researchers than what is accessible in source data alone. This information enables our data end-users to gain critical insights into the complex interplay between biological and social influences on Victorians’ health and well-being.

Non-index hospital re-admissions after hospitalisation with acute myocardial infarction and geographic remoteness, New South Wales, 2005-2020: a retrospective cohort study.

To examine the frequency of re-admissions to non-index hospitals (hospitals other than the initial discharging hospital) within 30 days of admission with acute myocardial infarction in New South Wales; to examine the relationship between non-index hospital re-admissions and 30-day mortality. Retrospective cohort study; analysis of hospital admissions (Admitted Patient Data Collection) and mortality data (Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages). Adults admitted to NSW hospitals with acute myocardial infarction re-admitted to any hospital within 30 days of discharge from the initial hospitalisation, 1 January 2005 - 31 December 2020. Proportion of re-admissions within 30 days of discharge to non-index hospitals, and associations of non-index hospital re-admissions with demographic and initial hospitalisation characteristics and with 30-day and 12-month mortality, each by residential remoteness category. Of 168 097 people with acute myocardial infarction discharged alive, 28 309 (16.8%) were re-admitted to hospital within 30 days of discharge, including 11 986 to non-index hospitals (42.3%); the proportion was larger for people from regional or remote areas (50.1%) than for people from major cities (38.3%). The odds of non-index hospital re-admission were higher for people with ST-elevation myocardial infarction, for people whose index admissions were to private hospitals, who were transferred between hospitals or had undergone revascularisation during the initial admission, were under 65 years of age, or had private health insurance; the influence of these factors was generally larger for people from regional or remote areas than for those from large cities. After adjustment for potential confounders, non-index hospital re-admission did not influence mortality among people from major cities (30-day: adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.09; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.99-1.20; 12-month: aOR, 0.98, 95% CI, 0.93-1.03), but was associated with reduced mortality for people from regional or remote areas (30-day: aOR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.70-0.95; 12-month: aOR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.81-0.96). The geographically dispersed Australian population and the mixed public and private provision of specialist services means that re-admission to a non-index hospital can be unavoidable for people with acute myocardial infarction who are initially transferred to specialised facilities. Non-index hospital re-admission is associated with better mortality outcomes for people from regional or remote areas.

The Development of Indonesian Marriage Law in Contemporary Era

Indonesia is a highly diverse country, comprising a multitude of tribes, groups, races, and religions, and is endowed with a rich cultural heritage. The heterogeneity of Indonesian society provides the context for interfaith and other forms of marriage. The specific legislation that governs marriage is Law Number 1 of 1974. It is commonly assumed that Law No. 1/1974 requires immediate revision due to its outdated nature and inability to address contemporary issues pertaining to marriage. Consequently, there are numerous provisions within the Marriage Law that require amendment or addition. For instance, there is a need to introduce more robust penalties for those who violate the Marriage Law, whether they are involved in interfaith marriages, same-sex marriages, polygamous marriages, or marriages contracted without the requisite formalities. This study aims to examine the evolution of marriage law in Indonesia and the challenges it has faced. It employs a descriptive qualitative approach with a literature review. The findings reveal that Indonesia's marriage regulation has undergone three distinct phases, each characterised by its own set of issues. Additionally, the country's marriage law has experienced two distinct periods: one following independence and the other following the enactment of Marriage Law Number 1 of 1974.

«Требник атеиста»: теория и практика гражданской обрядности в СССР

The article is devoted to the analysis of the book “Socialist Rituals”. Kyiv. 1985, which outlines the theory and practice of civil rituals in the late USSR. This manual may well be called an “Аn atheistic breviary”, designed to replace the church breviary. The work shows the artificiality and lifelessness of Soviet civil rituals, considered by its creators primarily as an element of persecution of the Russian OrthodoX Church. The inability of Soviet civil rituals to satisfy human spiritual needs has been proven. The main, unsolved task of the creators of non-religious civil rituals was to find means of persuasion and evidence of its effectiveness. The article shows how, in order to impart a certain “spirituality” to civil rites, the authors of the manual consciously or unconsciously use the method of mental associations. New Soviet rituals are analyzed — “rites of the calendar cycle”, “solemn registration of marriage”, “solemn registration of a newborn”, “civil funeral services”.

Juridical Review of Government Regulation 40 of 2019 Regarding the Marriage of Believers in Indonesia

Marriage registration for religious beliefs in Indonesia has been recognized by the state, whereas previously there was no recognition from the state and there was no legal certainty for adherents of this religious belief. The recognition of the religious beliefs that exist in Indonesia as beliefs and religions is good news for all believers in Indonesia, where the condition is that adherents of these beliefs have registered with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology. This is as regulated in PP Number 40 of 2019 concerning Population Administration, where this regulation regulates all forms of administration and procedures for registering marriages for believers.
