Abstract

Interfaith marriages in people’s lives have been practised in many areas in Indonesia, even if it’s not legally registered. The rule of law in Indonesia does not accommodate interfaith marriages. When interfaith marriage occurs, the registration system should follow the marriage registration process, either at the KUA (office of religious affairs) for Muslims or at the Civil Registry office for other religions. This study aims to analyse the practice of interreligious marriage in Manado and how spouses of different religions maintain a good marital relationship. This research employs a qualitative approach, collecting data through interviews with 30 informants who practice interfaith marriage in Manado City. This research found that many people in Manado consider interfaith marriage permissible. They argue that religion is a relationship between humans and God, while marriage is related to human beings. The family of different religions based their relationship on the principle of “Torang Samua Basudara” (we are bound through kinship). Based on this principle, the family avoids using religious symbols in their communication that can cause tension and disrupt harmony among family members. The principle of torang samua basudara serves as the basis for good communication within the family. This study contributes to the literature and policy debate on interfaith marriage in Indonesia by providing grounded evidence of how local values and everyday communication practices function as a practical social mechanism for sustaining interreligious households, even within a legal context that offers limited formal recognition.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the law enforcement of age of marriage in Bugis community, Islamic law and national law, and pemmali culture as one of the most crucial reasons for marriage dispensation. This study method used a sociological juridical research with normative and formal juridical approaches, socio-anthropological and case studies. Data analysis techniques used positivist theory of legal system, law enforcement, and sociology of legal system. The results showed that the enforcement of age of marriage in Bugis community does not have an age standard determination unless the daughter is menstruating, the application of pemmali culture causes daughter to become victims of underage marriages, they are blind to knowledge of age of marriage in Law Number 16 of 2019. The application of marriage age for children are still debated by the majority of fiqh scholars as long as girls have not menstruated, they do not question child marriage if it is menstruating, but Indonesian national law there is no way to legalize child marriage before getting a marriage dispensation. Pemmali culture can be determined as one of the reasons for the sharp increase in marriage dispensations in Religious Courts due to the mindset of parents in Bugis community when their daughters are underage and are proposed three times by men. A mayor implication of these findings is to reduce the amount of marriage dispensation recommended the next research on the effectiveness of socialization of Law Number 16 of 2019.

Abstract

Existing scholarship on marriage annulment in Indonesian family law primarily addresses formal defects of validity and coercion, but offers limited analysis of compensatory remedies when annulment produces social and economic harm. This article addresses that gap by examining Decision No. 42/Pdt.G/2023/PA.Llk and introducing the concept of compensatory annulment justice, defined as a judicial approach that annuls a coerced marriage while preserving limited remedies for relational harm. Using a normative juridical, case-based analysis, the study treats the decision as primary legal material to assess judicial reasoning on consent, coercion, cohabitation, and compensation. The findings show that the court moved beyond formal validity by (i) construing coercion through witness-based proof of psychological threat, (ii) positioning premarital cohabitation and local custom as relevant social facts without allowing them to override free consent, and (iii) awarding Rp2,000,000 via reconventional claim grounded in unlawful act doctrine and proportionality. These results demonstrate that annulment need not erase all consequences of the relationship. The study contributes a coherent framework for integrating consent protection with post-annulment responsibility, offering doctrinal guidance for courts to balance autonomy, legal pluralism, and substantive justice in family disputes.
