<![CDATA[Confirmation of marriageis a legal mechanism used to validate a marriage that has taken place but is not officially registered with an authorized marriage registration institution. In the Indonesian legal system, marriage registration plays an important role in providing legal protection for the rights of husbands, wives, and children. However, in practice, there are still many people who marry without official registration due to various factors, such as economic limitations, lack of legal understanding, and administrative constraints. This study aims to analyze the implementation of marriage validation at the Lubuk Pakam Religious Court by reviewing the decision of case Number 17/Pdt.P/2024/PA.Lpk. This study uses normative and empirical legal methods, with a positive legal approach and interviews with judges as the main data sources. The results of the study show that judges consider various aspects in deciding marriage validation cases, such as the validity of marriage according to Islamic law, the legal interests of the applicant, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The granting of a marriage confirmation request has significant legal implications, such as providing legal certainty regarding marital status, protecting the rights of spouses and children, and facilitating the administration of population administration. Therefore, efforts are needed to increase public awareness of the importance of marriage registration in order to avoid legal problems in the future. In addition, simplifying the administrative procedures for marriage confirmation for underprivileged communities is also an important recommendation in this study.]]>
