<![CDATA[This study examines the strategies employed by civil servants (ASN) at the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag) of Soppeng Regency to maintain family integrity amidst the challenges of long-distance marriage, a situation arising from geographic separation due to work assignments. Employing a qualitative case study approach within a sociology of law framework, data were collected through in-depth interviews with eight state madrasah teachers experiencing long-distance marriage and analyzed using Henry Mintzberg's 5Ps strategy theory, Froma Walsh's family resilience framework, and Imam Al-Ghazali's Maqāṣid Syarī’ah. The findings reveal three key points: (1) couples implement six core strategies, including deliberative decision-making, communication optimization, and collaborative financial management; (2) supporting factors (relational, spiritual) and inhibiting factors (psychological, infrastructural) are identified; and (3) all strategies align with the Qur'an and the Kompilasi Hukum Islam and effectively support the five Maqāṣid Syarī’ah objectives: preserving religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property. This research offers theoretical contributions to Islamic family law and provides practical guidance for long-distance marriage couples and policymakers.]]>
