<![CDATA[This article discusses the controversy surrounding interfaith marriages that occurred in the Jakarta District Court in Case No. 131/Pdt.P/2021/Pn.Jkt.Sel. The existence of justice is disrupted because there are conflicting opinions from the Supreme Court's jurisprudence regarding Islamic family law, namely, interfaith marriages. There is no clarity in the regulations of the Marriage Law regarding interfaith marriages, leading to conflicts between religious norms and the absence of clear legal provisions, as well as some ambiguous interpretations. On November 7, 2020, the marriage between Cakra Dharma (Islam) and Bernadeth Sylvanny Pramesya H. (Catholic) sparked public controversy, as the decision of the South Jakarta District Court was subsequently made. This research is a literature study, using a legal-normative approach and case studies. The data used in this study are derived from secondary sources, including primary legal materials, secondary legal materials, and tertiary legal materials. The data were analysed qualitatively and through legal normative analysis to obtain results and conclusions. The result of the research is the granting of permission to be registered at the civil registry office. The applicant has already conducted an interfaith marriage, incorporating both Catholic and Islamic religious practices, and then reported it to the court. The ongoing debate highlights the need for a balanced approach that respects religious norms and individual freedom. The South Jakarta District Court justified its decision on the interfaith marriage case by navigating legal gaps, historical judicial interpretations, Supreme Court guidelines, and the influence of religious law. The ruling reflects the complex interplay between upholding religious norms and addressing human rights issues within the framework of Indonesian law. Contribution: This study contributes to the understanding of the role of the courts in responding to the legal vacuum surrounding interfaith marriages and its impact on legal practice and policy in Indonesia.
