<![CDATA[Marriage Guidance (Bimbingan Perkawinan or BIMWIN) is a premarital education program initiated by the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs to prepare prospective couples for family life. While previous studies have primarily examined its implementation and effectiveness, limited attention has been given to how BIMWIN constructs marital relations. This study analyzes the construction of marital relations through BIMWIN from the perspective of mubadalah. Employing empirical legal research with a socio-legal approach, the study was conducted at the Karangploso Office of Religious Affairs (KUA), Malang Regency. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews with KUA officials, facilitators, and BIMWIN participants, and document analysis. The data were qualitatively analyzed and interpreted using the five pillars of the mubadalah household framework. The findings show that BIMWIN not only transmits family law norms but also promotes marital relations based on communication, cooperation, deliberation, adaptive role-sharing, and shared responsibility. These practices reflect the five mubadalah pillars: mīṡāqan ghalīẓan, zawaj, taradhin, mu'asyarah bil ma'ruf, and musyawarah. The study contributes to scholarship on reciprocal and gender-just marital relations and provides practical insights for strengthening BIMWIN materials to promote equitable and mutually supportive family relationships.]]>
