<![CDATA[In recent years, a new phenomenon has emerged in society that is interesting to study, namely Ghosting. This phenomenon means the sudden disappearance of someone who is in a relationship with someone else without any previous reason or explanation. This practice is considered normal by society because it is generally carried out by young couples whose bond is limited to mutual liking and love. However, problems will arise if ghosting is carried out by couples who are already bound by a marriage contract, because it will have a more complex impact on the family. Islamic law has made provisions regarding missing persons in the concept of mafqud, although it cannot be completely equated with the phenomenon of ghosting. The type of research in this article is normative research combined with a conceptual and comparative approach. The results of this research reveal that Ghosting in the family has several similarities with couples who are mafqud or declared missing in discussions of Islamic marriage law, namely that they are both considered missing and have left the family. However, the motives and intentions of ghosting perpetrators are different from those of people who are considered mafqud in Islamic law, so the legal implications that arise between ghosting perpetrators and people who are mafqud cannot simply be equated, a more in-depth analysis is needed in studying about ghosting and mafqud]]>
