Abstract

Interfaith marriage remains a contentious issue in many legal and religious traditions, particularly in Islam, where it is explicitly regulated. This study explores the theological, legal, and sociocultural reasons behind the prohibition of interfaith marriage in Islam, with a focus on its implications for Muslim communities. Islamic law, derived from the Quran, Hadith, and scholarly interpretations, generally prohibits Muslim women from marrying non-Muslim men, while permitting Muslim men to marry women from the People of the Book (Christians and Jews) under specific conditions. This distinction is rooted in concerns about religious continuity, family structure, and the spiritual well-being of future generations. From a legal perspective, many Muslim-majority countries incorporate these religious principles into their national laws, restricting or entirely prohibiting interfaith unions. The justification for this prohibition is often linked to the preservation of Islamic values and the potential conflicts arising from differing religious obligations within a marriage. Sociologically, interfaith marriages can lead to identity struggles, legal uncertainties, and challenges in raising children with a unified religious identity. However, critics argue that such prohibitions may conflict with contemporary human rights principles, including freedom of marriage and religious choice. By examining Islamic jurisprudence alongside modern legal and social perspectives, this study seeks to provide a nuanced understanding of why interfaith marriage is restricted in Islam and how these regulations impact Muslim communities globally. It also explores the evolving discourse on this issue, particularly in pluralistic societies, where legal frameworks and personal freedoms increasingly challenge traditional religious interpretations.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the communication patterns of married couples who work in using social media effectively and adaptively to maintain household harmony. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with the determination of informants based on the principle of data saturation, considering that the population number is not known for sure. A total of 12 informants who were married couples with formal employment status were randomly selected. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews and thematic analysis. The results of the study show that face-to-face communication remains the most crucial and effective foundation in maintaining household harmony, especially in resolving sensitive issues and deep conflicts. Meanwhile, social media functions as a complement to practical communication, especially in conditions of limited time, long distance relationships, and as a means of defusing conflicts in the early stages. However, the majority of informants consider that social media is not yet fully effective in conveying crucial issues such as criticism and differences of opinion due to the high risk of misunderstandings. These findings indicate that household harmony (sakinah, mawaddah, and rahmah) is supported by the application of interpersonal communication norms, such as openness, emotional control, mutual respect, and the establishment of ethical boundaries in digital behavior to prevent conflicts, including the potential for online infidelity. Based on these findings, this study recommends that married couples who actively work build a balanced communication agreement between face-to-face communication and social media utilization, accompanied by digital communication literacy oriented towards ethical values and family resilience.
