Abstract

Globalization has increased the number of mixed-nationality and interfaith marriages, giving rise to cross-jurisdictional legal complexities, particularly for Muslim parties. This study aims to analyze the application of the principles of Private International Law—namely, lex patriae, lex domicilii, lex loci celebrationis, and lex rei sitae—in the resolution of disputes regarding mixed-nationality marriages and international inheritance. The methodology employed is normative legal research using a comparative law approach and analysis of court decisions. The results of the study indicate that the validity of mixed marriages is determined through a combination of formal requirements based on lex loci celebrationis and substantive requirements subject to lex patriae or lex domicilii, which often conflict with Sharia norms and the public policy of the forum state. In international inheritance, the differences between the faraidh system and Western law lead to fragmentation in dispute resolution, particularly regarding immovable property governed by lex rei sitae. To reduce legal uncertainty, cross-jurisdictional marriage contracts, international wills, mandatory bequests, and asset transfers that comply with the principle of dual compliance are necessary. This study underscores the importance of harmonizing national law, religious law, and human rights

Abstract

The practice of nikah sirri in Indonesia often results in the husband’s absolute authority, which is detrimental to women due to the lack of state legal protection. This study aims to analyze the impact of such authority on women’s rights through the perspective of Maqāṣid al-Syarī’ah and to propose a reconstruction of family law. The method employed is normative legal research with an ecosentric approach, examining laws, legal concepts, and court rulings. The results of the study indicate that absolute authority in secret marriages disrupts the family justice ecosystem and violates the principles of Maqāṣid, particularly the protection of life (ḥifẓ al-nafs), lineage (ḥifẓ al-nasl), and property (ḥifẓ al-māl). Women face structural vulnerabilities in the form of the loss of maintenance rights, shared property, and the legal status of their children. In conclusion, this practice contradicts the spirit of substantive Islamic justice. A legal reconstruction is needed to strengthen the role of the state and judges as guardians of the balance of the justice ecosystem, as well as a reinterpretation of the concept of qiwamah based on consultation and gender justice. Marriage registration must be viewed as a Sharia instrument to guarantee human dignity, not merely an administrative formality.
