Interfaith Marriage, Registration of Interfaith MarriageAbstract
Marriage is a legal bond between a man and a woman to form a happy and complementary household, as
stated in the Law. According to Law Number 16 of 2019, marriage must comply with the religious laws of both
parties involved. Despite various religions, interfaith marriages are common. In a case at the Central Jakarta
District Court, an interfaith marriage between Joshua Evan Anthony (Christian) and Stefany Wulandari (Islam)
was approved. The judge's decision was based on laws related to population administration and human rights,
allowing the couple to register their marriage. The study concludes that there is a legal gap regarding interfaith
marriages in the current Marriage Law, urging lawmakers to address this issue. It is recommended that judges
handling similar cases have a solid legal basis for their decisions. Revising Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning
Marriage to address interfaith marriages is essential in promoting legal clarity on this matter.
