Abstract

The phenomenon of contract marriage (nikah kontrak) in Cianjur Regency has emerged as a significant legal and socio-religious issue within Indonesian society, attracting both national and international scholarly attention. This study is driven by two core research questions: (1) How is Regent Regulation No. 38 of 2021 implemented in addressing the practice of contract marriage? and (2) To what extent does this regulation reflect and uphold the objectives of Islamic law (Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah)? The research aims to critically examine the legal implementation and social impact of the regulation, particularly on individuals involved in contract marriages. Employing a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical and case-study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with contract marriage actors, community leaders, and government officials. The findings reveal that contract marriages in Cianjur occur through various forms of informal or semi-formal arrangements often without legal guardians or witnesses, or with invalid ones thereby fulfilling only the outward form of marriage without generating legal consequences such as the obligation of ʿiddah. From the Sunni legal perspective, such practices are considered invalid, whereas in the Shiʿa Imamiyah tradition, they may resemble nikah mutʿah under specific conditions. The persistence of contract marriage is influenced by internal factors (economic necessity, cultural accommodation) and external factors (social tolerance and weak enforcement). Although Regent Regulation No. 38/2021 seeks to curb the practice, its implementation has yet to produce a substantial deterrent effect. Within the broader global discourse on Islamic legal reform, this study underscores the necessity of integrating normative Islamic legal principles with contextual socio-legal realities. A more comprehensive strategy combining legal enforcement, community education, and theological engagement is essential to safeguard the higher objectives of Islamic law and protect vulnerable parties in marital relations.

Abstract

In the practice of contract law, the fulfillment of promises and compliance with agreements are fundamental aspects to ensure justice and legal certainty. The principle of pacta sunt servanda which emphasizes the obligation to honor agreements has relevance to Islamic rules which also require the fulfillment of promises. This research uses normative legal research methods with a comparative juridical approach. Primary data sources are obtained from laws, government regulations, court decisions, and other relevant legal documents. While secondary data is obtained from books, journals, scientific articles, and other literature that discusses the principle of pacta sunt servanda, Islamic rules on promises, and contract law. Data collection techniques use literature study and document analysis, while data analysis techniques use qualitative analysis using the inductive method, and comparative analysis to compare the principle of pacta sunt servanda with Islamic rules of promise. The findings show that pacta sunt servanda and Islamic rules of promise have similarities in emphasizing the importance of commitment to the contract. However, there are differences in the application of these two legal systems, especially regarding exceptions and certain conditions such as force majeure and the principle of benefit in Islam. The principle of pacta sunt servanda and the Islamic rule of promise can complement each other in the practice of contract law, especially in the context of countries that apply legal pluralism. The application of these two principles encourages trust and stability in business transactions. This research recommends strengthening the legal framework that accommodates elements of contract compliance while taking into account aspects of substantive justice and relevant special conditions.
