<![CDATA[Marriage confirmation is a legal mechanism provided by the Religious Court to validate a marriage that has been conducted in accordance with Islamic law but has not been registered by the state. Several issues often arise in the practice of marriage confirmation, including: (1) What are the reasons for the loss of rights of the aqrab/nasab guardian in marriage? (2) What are the legal implications of marriage with a muhakkam guardian? (3) How is marriage confirmation handled in a Religious Court when a muhakkam guardian is involved? This study aims to explore the legal aspects of marriage confirmation in the Religious Court concerning marriages that utilise a muhakkamah guardian. The analysis will examine this situation from both Islamic law and the applicable laws and regulations in Indonesia. The research method employed is normative legal research, incorporating statutory, conceptual, and empirical juridical approaches through a review of Religious Court decisions. The study's findings indicate that the use of a muhakkamah guardian in marriage leads to differing opinions among Religious Court judges, particularly regarding the validity of the marriage and the legal interests of the parties involved. Nonetheless, Religious Courts typically prioritise principles of benefit, legal protection for wives and children, and legal certainty when deciding on marriage confirmation requests. Accordingly, marriage confirmation for a marriage involving a muhakkamah guardian can be granted, provided it fulfils the pillars and requirements of marriage according to Islamic law and complies with the relevant statutory regulations.]]>
