Abstract

A marriage that is religiously and legally valid is not always accompanied by sufficient mental, emotional, economic, and relational readiness to sustain family responsibilities over time. Existing studies of Islamic marriage law frequently emphasize pillars, requirements, registration, and legal consequences, while the relationship between marital validity and the substantive readiness of prospective spouses remains insufficiently integrated. This study examines the position of marital validity and prospective spouses’ readiness in Islamic law and aims to formulate their relationship within family life. Using a qualitative normative legal method, the study applies statutory, conceptual, and content-analysis approaches to legislation, the Compilation of Islamic Law, books, and Indonesian journal articles published between 2020 and 2026. The findings identify four dimensions of readiness—mental, emotional, economic, and relational—which do not determine the validity of the marriage contract but directly affect maintenance, communication, conflict management, and family resilience. The study concludes that Islamic marriage law should preserve legal validity as its foundation while strengthening premarital guidance based on maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah to support protection, responsibility, and sustainable family harmony.
