Abstract

Public services, including marriage registration, require integrity and professional ethics from state officials to prevent malpractices such as gratification and conflicts of interest. However, empirical reality often shows a gap between legal norms and field practices. This research aims to analyze the professional ethics of marriage registrars from a legal perspective and to examine indications of gratification practices and conflicts of interest in marriage services. The research employs a juridical-empirical method with statutory and sociological approaches, using literature review and interviews with informants at an anonymized Office of Religious Affairs. The findings reveal a gap between ethical norms and practices in the field, indicated by informal giving from the public to registrars and the role of intermediaries in handling administrative procedures, which may give rise to conflicts of interest. These practices are influenced by cultural factors, limited transparency, and insufficient public understanding of official procedures. The study concludes that strengthening oversight, enhancing service transparency, and improving public education are essential to achieving integrity and accountability in marriage services.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the implementation of social media utilization by Islamic religious counselors at the Office of Religious Affairs (Kantor Urusan Agama/KUA) of Rembang District as a medium of public communication and to examine its conformity with the provisions of the Electronic Information and Transactions Law. This research employed an empirical juridical method with a qualitative approach. Primary data were obtained through interviews and observations of the social media activities conducted by Islamic religious counselors, while secondary data were collected through library research involving laws and regulations, books, scientific journals, and other supporting documents. The results indicate that social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok have been actively utilized as tools for disseminating religious information, Islamic legal education, KUA administrative services, and digital-based public communication. The use of social media has contributed to improving the effectiveness of public services by enabling information to be delivered more quickly, broadly, and interactively to the community. From a legal perspective, the implementation of digital public communication by Islamic religious counselors has generally been carried out in accordance with educational and public service functions; however, it still requires strengthening in aspects of digital literacy, information verification, communication ethics, and understanding of electronic law provisions as regulated under the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE). Therefore, capacity building through digital literacy and cyber law training, along with the formulation of social media guidelines, is necessary to ensure professional, responsible, and legally compliant digital public communication.
