<![CDATA[Introduction: This article examines the persistence of “nikah siri” (unregistered marriage) in Indonesian society and its legal consequences, particularly the absence of legal certainty for spouses and children. In response to these issues, several Offices of Religious Affairs have implemented a remarry policy as an administrative mechanism to formalize previously unregistered marriages. Purposes of the Research: The purpose of this study is to analyze the juridical basis and implementation of the nikah ulang policy at the Office of Religious Affairs of Pusakajaya, Subang Regency. This research aims to assess its conformity with Islamic law and Indonesian positive law, as well as its effectiveness in ensuring legal certainty for couples previously bound by nikah siri. Methods of the Research: This research employs an empirical juridical method by combining normative legal analysis with field research. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews with Office of Religious Affairs officials, and document analysis. The study adopts a qualitative descriptive approach, using statutory, conceptual, and sociological perspectives to analyze the implementation and implications of the remarry policy. Results Main Findings of the Research: This study finds that the remarry policy implemented by the Office of Religious Affairs of Pusakajaya constitutes an adaptive administrative and juridical response to the practice of nikah siri, grounded in the Marriage Law, the Compilation of Islamic Law, and the exercise of administrative discretion. The novelty of this research lies in conceptualizing remarry as a “maslahah-based” non-litigation solution that ensures legal certainty, justice, and utility while strengthening the responsive role of the KUA.]]>
