The research method uses normative juridical legal methods, data collection techniques namely by analyzing articles, books and references related to the discussion. The results showed that interfaith marriage is not justified in Indonesian legislation with the argument that interfaith marriage is contrary to the religious teachings of Indonesian citizens and can eliminate the basic rights of marriage for husbands, wives and children.
