Abstract

This research aims to examine the role of customary authority in the Deduaian tradition within the Lampung Saibatin marriage system in Bandar Lampung, Indonesia, and to analyze its meaning from Islamic legal perspectives. The study employs a qualitative approach with field research design, using an interpretive-analytical orientation in which data are collected and interpreted directly from the research setting through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that the Deduaian tradition is structured through a sequence beginning with family agreement and permission from inner customary leaders, followed by systematic notification to the community, traditional leaders, religious figures, and government representatives through door-to-door communication, and continuing with a ritual bathing procession at Batanghari River involving female customary representatives from the Mena, Dukhi, Kanan, and Kikhi tribes who escort the bride-to-be in a closed ceremonial setting before she is dressed in traditional attire and paraded to the wedding house under customary supervision. The study concludes that the Deduaian tradition functions as a living customary practice (‘urf) that is socially recognized and continuously practiced, operating within the boundaries of Islamic legal permissibility while reinforcing customary governance and social order. This research contributes to the preservation of the deduaian process through stories and traditional ceremonies among the people of Lampung. It also emphasizes the importance of safeguarding cultural heritage and promotes cross-cultural understanding at a global level.

Abstract

This study addresses the contradiction between the rapid digitalization of social and administrative services and the limited modernization of Islamic marriage systems in the United Kingdom. Conventional marriage registration often lacks efficiency, accessibility, and transparency, creating challenges for couples seeking both administrative and religious validation. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the contemporary transformation of Islamic marriage services through the MyNikahNow application, which integrates digital innovation with Islamic legal principles to improve service effectiveness and legitimacy. This research employs a qualitative descriptive–analytical design. The data sources include primary materials, such as interviews with users, Islamic law scholars, and certified marriage officers, as well as secondary materials derived from official documents and academic studies. Data collection techniques involve documentation, online observation, and semi-structured interviews, while data analysis is conducted through thematic interpretation to identify patterns of technological, legal, and social transformation in digital marriage practices. The findings show that MyNikahNow effectively enhances administrative efficiency, reduces errors, and strengthens compliance with Sharia law. The application also bridges traditional religious norms with contemporary digital innovation, offering a new paradigm in managing Islamic marriages within Western contexts. This novelty demonstrates that faith-based services can adapt to digital modernization while maintaining legal and moral integrity. This study contributes to the development of digital Islamic family law and religious governance models. It recommends future research to explore comparative applications in other regions to enhance the inclusivity, sustainability, and contextual relevance of digital Islamic marriage systems.
