<![CDATA[Research with this title starts from the problem that the existence of marriage isbat is caused by unregistered marriages. At the Pangkalan Kerinci Religious Court, not all marriage isbat requests are granted by the judge, but there are marriage isbat requests that are rejected or not granted. The research problem is how the judge considers when deciding on marriage isbat cases in unregistered marriages at the Pangkalan Kerinci Religious Court based on Determination Number 44/Pdt.P/2023/PA.Pkc and Determination Number 117/Pdt.P/2021/PA. Pkc. And why do contradictions arise between the settlement of marriage isbats in unregistered marriages? To answer this problem, the author uses a normative juridical legal research method, with a case approach and data collection methods using documentation or literature studies. After the data is obtained, data analysis is carried out based on the main problem using descriptive analysis. The research results show that the reason the judge accepted the petition for case 44/Pdt.P/2023/PA.Pkc regarding marriage isbat was because the marriage fulfilled the marriage requirements and did not conflict with Law No. 1 of 1974 and the Compilation of Islamic Law. Meanwhile, in case petition Number 117/Pdt.P/2021/PA. The judge's reason for rejecting the application was based on Article 2 Paragraph (1) of Law No.1 of 1974, jo. Article 40 letter (b) Compilation of Islamic Law, so the marriage is considered invalid. This is a contradiction between case Number 44/Pdt.P/2023/PA.Pkc and case Number 117/Pdt.P/2021/PA. Pkc is because there are different legal interpretations or assessments of the evidence presented in the two cases. So there are different determinations, namely the marriage isbat in unregistered marriages which are granted and which are rejected.]]>
