Hukum Pernikahan Beda Agama Dalam Islam

Abstract

Marriage is a physical and mental bond between a man and a woman to form a happy and lasting family. However, marriage is required for two people who share the same religious beliefs. However, interfaith marriage in Indonesia is one of the most common phenomena. Islam openly prohibits interfaith marriage. Interfaith marriage is a complex issue in the perspective of Islamic law and has become a topic of debate in various circles of society. This article aims to examine the Islamic view of interfaith marriage, which is examined according to the Qur'anic texts, Hadith, and fatwas of scholars regarding marriage between a Muslim and a non-Muslim. Based on the research conducted, it is known that in Islamic law, marriage is considered invalid due to differences in religion, in the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), marriage between different religions is invalid. The results of the study show that interfaith marriages in Islam are considered invalid due to differences in beliefs. Some couples choose several alternatives such as conducting marriages abroad or through the courts to obtain legal recognition. However, the phenomenon of interfaith marriage still occurs in society and has become a debate related to human rights and freedom of choice. This is based on the view that religious differences can pose various challenges, both in theological and social aspects.
