<![CDATA[This study investigates the legal implications of discrepancies in the bride’s name during the Islamic marriage contract (ʿaqd nikāḥ) and the exercise of tawḳīl (delegation of guardian authority). Although classical Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) emphasizes taʾyīn the clear identification of contracting parties minor variations in spelling or use of nicknames do not invalidate the contract as long as the bride’s identity is certain. Conversely, modern Indonesian law, through the Compilation of Islamic Law (Kompilasi Hukum Islam), demands administrative uniformity in official documents to ensure legal certainty. Using a qualitative library research approach, primary and secondary sources including scholarly works, statutory provisions, and judicial decisions were analyzed descriptively. Findings reveal convergence between fiqh and positive law: the substantive validity of the marriage relies on accurate identification rather than formal consistency, while administrative discrepancies require rectification via official corrections or court rulings. Integrative recommendations are proposed to harmonize doctrinal flexibility with bureaucratic requirements, safeguarding both sacramental integrity and legal certainty.]]>
