Abstract

The phenomenon of underage unregistered (siri) marriages remains prevalent in various rural areas of Indonesia, including Racek Village, Tiris District, Probolinggo Regency. This practice is often carried out without official state registration and involves couples who have not yet reached the legal age of adulthood. This study aims to analyze the causes of underage unregistered marriages, examine their impact on household harmony, and review the practice from the perspectives of Indonesian marriage law and Islamic law. The research employs a juridical-empirical and sociological approach, collecting data through interviews and observations involving underage married couples, community leaders, and village officials.The findings reveal that economic hardship, low educational attainment, and the persistence of local cultural traditions are the primary factors driving underage unregistered marriages. The impacts include emotional instability, economic pressure, domestic conflict, and the deprivation of legal rights for both spouses and children. From the perspective of positive law, this practice contradicts Law No. 16 of 2019 on Marriage and the principles of child protection. From the standpoint of Islamic law, it is inconsistent with the objectives of maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah, particularly the principle of hifz al-nasl (protection of lineage).This study recommends strengthening the roles of government institutions, religious authorities, and local communities in legal education and family guidance programs to prevent child marriage.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has transformed the production, dissemination, and validation of religious knowledge, posing new challenges to traditional religious institutions in Egypt. This study examines how Al-Azhar and Dar al-Iftaʾ al-Miṣriyyah respond to the emergence of online religious actors who acquire authority through social media rather than through classical academic structures. This research is based on fieldwork and employs a descriptive qualitative design, drawing on sociological and religious-anthropological approaches. Primary data were obtained from leaders and scholars affiliated with Al-Azhar and Dar al-Iftaʾ al-Miṣriyyah, complemented by insights from socio-religious observers in Egypt who are members of the Special Branch of Nahdlatul Ulama (PCINU). Secondary data consist of fatwas and relevant scholarly literature. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and observation and analyzed using inductive qualitative techniques. The findings indicate that the digital space has democratized access to Islamic knowledge, enabling social media influencers, preachers, and informal online scholars to serve as alternative sources of fatwas and religious guidance for Egyptian Muslims. In response, Al-Azhar has prioritized strengthening its academically grounded digital presence, while Dar al-Iftaʾ has pursued a more dynamic strategy by expanding online fatwa services, launching social media campaigns, and developing multilingual outreach programs. At the same time, this study reveals that state regulation and political involvement in Egypt’s digital religious sphere significantly shape both the autonomy and public perception of official religious institutions. This article contributes to the broader discourse on Islamic authority by illustrating how classical institutions negotiate legitimacy amid algorithmic visibility, digital pluralism, and state control.
