<![CDATA[Infidelity in marriage is a serious issue that can damage family harmony and negatively impact the well-being of individuals and society. This study aims to analyze the causes behind the increasing cases of infidelity in Indonesia, as well as the role of fatherhood in preventing it. The research employs a literature review method with a qualitative descriptive approach, covering psychological, sociological, and religious theories regarding family and the role of fathers.
