MARRIAGE REGISTRATION PERSPECTIVE OF ISLAMIC LAW AND LAW NUMBER 1 OF 1974 IN THE COMMUNITY OF PERCUT SEI TUAN DELISERDANG DISTRICT

Abstract

This research discusses marriage registration from the perspective of Islamic law and Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage, with a focus on the people of Percut Sei Tuan District, Deliserdang. Marriage registration is an important issue because it relates to the legal validity of marriage and state administration. In Islamic law, a marriage is valid if it meets the pillars and requirements, but does not regulate the obligation to officially register it. Meanwhile, Law Number 1 of 1974 requires marriage registration as a step to protect the legal rights of married couples and children born to them. This research uses a normative juridical approach by examining secondary data and interviews to identify how the community understands and applies legal provisions related to marriage registration. The research results show that although there is awareness about the importance of marriage registration, there are still social and cultural barriers that influence the implementation of official registration.
