Interfaith marriage is a complex and often controversial topic in Islamic law and social dynamics, especially in Indonesia which has high religious diversity. This study aims to evaluate the views of Qur'anic commentators and the responses of Muslim scholars on interfaith marriage and its relevance to marriage law in Indonesia. The approach used is qualitative, using library research to analyze various Qur'anic interpretations from classical and contemporary commentators, and evaluating the views of Muslim scholars on the legitimacy and challenges of interfaith marriage. From the literature studied, there are various interpretations among commentators, ranging from very strict to more flexible, depending on their respective historical and social contexts. Some support the adjustment of Islamic law to better reflect the increasingly pluralistic social reality. This study emphasizes the importance of ongoing dialogue between religious texts and social reality, in accordance with the spirit of marriage law in Indonesia.
