Abstract

Marriage in Islam is not merely a legal contract but also an institution aimed at creating a harmonious and lasting family. One of the concepts discussed by classical and contemporary Islamic jurists is kafa'ah (compatibility) between prospective spouses. Classical scholars generally associated kafa'ah with lineage, religion, freedom, profession, and economic status. However, contemporary social developments have shifted the understanding of compatibility toward education, character, emotional maturity, and shared life goals. This study aims to analyze the concept of kafa'ah in Islamic family law from a contemporary perspective. This research employs a qualitative method using a normative juridical approach through literature review. Primary sources include the Qur'an, Hadith, classical fiqh literature, and the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), while secondary sources consist of books and scientific journal articles. The findings indicate that kafa'ah is not an absolute legal requirement for the validity of marriage but serves as an important consideration in achieving the objectives of Islamic marriage (maqāṣid al-syarī'ah). In contemporary society, religious commitment, morality, education, and psychological readiness are more relevant indicators of compatibility than lineage or social status.
