<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the legal status of interfaith marriage in the perspective of Indonesia's positive law. This research uses normative legal research methods with legislative and conceptual approaches. Data were obtained through literature studies of laws and regulations, court decisions, and legal literature relevant to the issue of interfaith marriage. The results of the study show that Indonesia's positive law in principle does not recognize interfaith marriage. Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage emphasizes that the validity of marriage is determined by the laws of each religion, so interfaith marriage cannot be carried out if it is contrary to religious provisions. Although there is a practice of registering interfaith marriages through court orders or carried out abroad, it creates legal uncertainty and differences in interpretation in its application. This study concludes that the status of interfaith marriage in Indonesia's positive law is still within the area of strict legal restrictions in order to maintain legal order and certainty of marital status. Therefore, consistency in law enforcement and clarity of regulations are needed so that there is no dualism of practice and interpretation of the law in the community.]]>
