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.

Abstract

This study examines the role of prenuptial agreements in promoting gender equality within the framework of contemporary Islamic family law. The research aims to analyze the legal basis and practical relevance of prenuptial agreements as instruments for balancing the rights and obligations of spouses in marriage. This study employs normative legal research using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The data consist of Islamic legal sources, family law regulations, judicial decisions, and contemporary scholarly literature on gender justice and Islamic family law. The findings reveal that prenuptial agreements are not merely contractual arrangements concerning property ownership but also legal mechanisms that provide greater certainty, transparency, and protection for both spouses. Contemporary Islamic family law increasingly recognizes contractual autonomy, provided that the agreed terms do not contradict Islamic principles, public order, or morality. The study further shows that prenuptial agreements may contribute to gender equality by protecting women’s economic interests, clarifying marital responsibilities, and minimizing disputes arising from unequal bargaining positions within marriage. Their legitimacy can be justified through the principles of mutual consent, contractual freedom, ʿadl (justice), and maṣlaḥah (public benefit). The study concludes that prenuptial agreements constitute a legitimate legal instrument capable of supporting gender equality while remaining consistent with the objectives of contemporary Islamic family law. This study contributes to the literature on Islamic family law reform by offering a gender-sensitive interpretation of prenuptial agreements and highlighting their potential to strengthen equitable marital relations in contemporary Muslim societies.
