TI  - Reimagining the Legal Framework for Interfaith Marriage in Indonesia A Path Toward Inclusive Matrimonial Recognition
N2  - Abstract:Indonesian   marriage   law   does   not   explicitly regulate the legal status of interfaith marriages, resulting in legal  uncertainty  and  varied  judicial  interpretations.  This lack   of   clarity   has   prompted   differing   court   decisions regarding  such  unions.  Ideally,  the  judiciary  should  offer clear    legal    guidance    on    matters    of    public    concern. Consequently,  there  is  a  pressing  need  for  a  well-defined legal framework to address the status of interfaith marriages in   Indonesia.   This   study   seeks   to   identify   a   normative resolution to this legal ambiguity. Employing normative legal research  with  a  statutory  approach,  the  study  relies  on  data collected through a comprehensive literature review of books, relevant  laws,  and  previous  scholarly  works,  which  are  then analyzed  descriptively.  The  findings  reveal  that  Supreme Court  Circular  Letter  (SEMA)  No.  2  of  2023,  which  provides judicial guidelines on handling requests for the registration of marriages   between   individuals   of   different   religions   and beliefs,  can  serve  to  fill  the  existing  legal  void.  Although courts  have  previously  demonstrated  inconsistency  on  this matter,  the  circular  explicitly  instructs  judges  to  reject  such marriage  registration  requests,  citing  incompatibility  with respective   religious   doctrines.   In   conclusion,   the   study highlights  that  SEMA  No.  2  of  2023  plays  a  pivotal  role  in promoting     regulatory     coherence     regarding     interfaith marriages  in  Indonesia  and  in  minimizing  the  associated legal uncertainties.
