Abstract

According to most scholars of Islamic jurisprudence (jumhūr ʿulamā), marriage due to pregnancy (ngampang) is permissible as long as it is conducted under fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) rules. Its validity is not contingent upon the situation/locus ‘in front of the state official’. It means that there is no significance in remarrying before the state official if an Islamic marriage has previously been performed beyond the walls of the state building. In reality, however, the community—in this context, the Muslim community of Sintang—often remarries before a marriage registrar to achieve state recognition in the case of marriage due to pregnancy. This article portrays how the Sintang Muslim community legalizes marriage status due to pregnancy. Data were collected through interviews. This article argues that in order to obtain state recognition of their marriage due to pregnancy, the Muslim community of Sintang often performs twofold marriage ceremonies. The first is according to customary standards (in line with the Statute of the Sintang Kingdom) and following Islamic rules. The second is according to national procedure (in front of a state official), which applies the same Islamic terms. It indicates that, in terms of resolving the issue of pregnancy out-of-wedlock, the Sintang Muslim community has to go through two standards that are not substantively contradictory to each other. Both standards actually rest on the same principles in Islamic law.

Abstract

The immigration policy of Malaysia prohibits migrant workers from marrying during their employment contract, whether with fellow migrant workers or Malaysian citizens. However, despite this prohibition, the practice of marriage between Indonesian migrant workers, often referred to as kawin kampung (village marriage), has been prevalent for many years in Sabah, Malaysia. This marriage practice occurs without the involvement of the state and is not officially registered, thus classified as an unofficial or nikah sirri (secret marriage). Nevertheless, such marriages are recognized socially within the community, even though they are not legally acknowledged (illegal but licit). This research aims to explain the structure and agency involved in marriage practice among Indonesian migrant workers. Taking the floor in Sabah, Malaysia, data were gathered through interviews with related parties in the field. This research employs Giddens' theory of structuration. This research argues that the practice of kawin kampung (village marriage) among Indonesian migrant workers (PMI) in Sabah, is a multifaceted issue influenced by a combination of religious, legal, economic, and social factors. Their religious belief constitutes an essential foundation for sustaining life within the oil palm plantations. Although their marriages cannot be categorized as legally valid under the Malaysian state law, they are many times underhand allowed by the company and can gradually and annually be submitted for official validation (isbat nikah) at the Indonesian representative office. Inconsistent law enforcement against undocumented immigrants has enabled their continued entry, thereby perpetuating the practice of unregistered marriages (kawin kampung) among Indonesian migrants.

Abstract

This article describes the implementation of pre-marital courses that still contain several problems. One of them is, Indonesian Republic’s Ministry of Religion Regulation No. DJ.II / 491 of 2009 and Regulation No. DJ.II / 542 of 2013 in order to organize the pre-marital courses, but many related parties cannot implement it. This prompted the author to examine the views of the Head of KUA in the City of Yogyakarta regarding the urgency of pre-marital courses in an effort to form a sakinah family. After interviewing some related sources, the authors concluded: (1) all informants considered pre-marital courses to be very important as an effort to realize a sakinah family; (2) at the technical level, the implementation of pre-marital courses still faces some problems, such as budget issues, so that some KUA cannot held pre-marital courses; and (3) the implementation of pre-marital courses at KUA is based on religious traditions or beliefs rather than legal regulations. [Artikel ini menjelaskan tentang pelaksanaan kursus pra-nikah yang masih mengandung sejumlah masalah. Salah satunya adalah, meskipun Kementerian Agama RI telah mengeluarkan Peraturan No. DJ.II/491 Tahun 2009 dan Peraturan No. DJ.II/542 Tahun 2013 agar kursus pranikah diselenggarakan, namun banyak pihak terkait yang tidak dapat melaksanakannya. Ini mendorong penulis menelaah pandangan pandangan Kepala KUA Kota Yogyakarta tentang kursus pra-nikah dan urgensi dalam upaya membentuk keluarga sakinah. Setelah mewawancarai narasumber-narasumber terkait, penulis berkesimpulan: (1) semua narasumber menganggap kursus pra-nikah sangat penting sebagai upaya mewujudkan keluarga sakinah; (2) pada tataran teknis, pelaksanaan kursus pra-nikah masih terbentur sejumlah masalah, seperti persoalan anggaran, sehingga beberapa KUA tidak bisa menyelenggarakan kursus pra-nikah; dan (3) pelaksanaan kursus pra-nikah di KUA didasarkan pada tradisi atau keyakinan agama daripada peraturan hukumnya.]
