Legally, interfaith marriage is regulated in Article 2 paragraph (1) of the Marriage Law which states that marriage is legal, if it is carried out according to the laws of each religion and belief. This means that there is no marriage outside of religious law. But in reality, Law Number 23 of 2006 concerning Population Administration, which in one of its articles stipulates that interfaith marriages can be registered at the Civil Registry Office after obtaining a District Court decision. In this case there is an inconsistency in viewing the validity of the marriage.
