Abstract

This study examines the integration of Minangkabau customary marriage traditions and Islamic law, focusing on how both systems coexist and influence marital practices within the Minangkabau community. Minangkabau society is characterized by a unique matrilineal system, where family lineage and property are passed through the mother’s side, which sometimes conflicts with the patriarchal principles found in Islamic law. The research explores how religious leaders (ulama) and adat authorities navigate these differences, seeking a balance that respects both cultural traditions and Islamic teachings. By analyzing the roles of women, gender dynamics, and family responsibilities in Minangkabau marriages, the study assesses the impact of integrating these two legal systems on societal expectations, marital roles, and the protection of individual rights. Additionally, the study examines the social implications of combining adat and sharia, particularly in terms of gender equality, inheritance, and family leadership. The findings suggest that while challenges exist, the collaboration between Islamic and customary laws can lead to a more inclusive understanding of marriage, where both traditions are respected. This research provides recommendations for legal reforms, educational initiatives, and policy changes to facilitate a more harmonious integration of adat and sharia, while preserving the cultural heritage of the Minangkabau people.

Abstract

This study addresses the contradiction between the rapid digitalization of social and administrative services and the limited modernization of Islamic marriage systems in the United Kingdom. Conventional marriage registration often lacks efficiency, accessibility, and transparency, creating challenges for couples seeking both administrative and religious validation. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the contemporary transformation of Islamic marriage services through the MyNikahNow application, which integrates digital innovation with Islamic legal principles to improve service effectiveness and legitimacy. This research employs a qualitative descriptive–analytical design. The data sources include primary materials, such as interviews with users, Islamic law scholars, and certified marriage officers, as well as secondary materials derived from official documents and academic studies. Data collection techniques involve documentation, online observation, and semi-structured interviews, while data analysis is conducted through thematic interpretation to identify patterns of technological, legal, and social transformation in digital marriage practices. The findings show that MyNikahNow effectively enhances administrative efficiency, reduces errors, and strengthens compliance with Sharia law. The application also bridges traditional religious norms with contemporary digital innovation, offering a new paradigm in managing Islamic marriages within Western contexts. This novelty demonstrates that faith-based services can adapt to digital modernization while maintaining legal and moral integrity. This study contributes to the development of digital Islamic family law and religious governance models. It recommends future research to explore comparative applications in other regions to enhance the inclusivity, sustainability, and contextual relevance of digital Islamic marriage systems.
