Even though the contract was carried out in Saudi, the legal aspect in the country of origin was still crucial. Prospective brides must be proactive in coordinating with the Indonesian KUA (Office for Religious Affairs).

The tip is to notify the KUA about the contract plan abroad and make sure all documents are recorded and ratified. The use of video conferencing or Zoom during the contract can facilitate the process of recording marriage certificates upon your return in Indonesia.

Although it sounds romantic, there are great risks that must be considered in implementing the procedure for marriage at the Prophet's Mosque independently (without clear official permission). One of them is the danger of violating the publication rules.

You need to know, spreading videos of marriage contracts in sensitive public areas such as mosques can violate Saudi authorities regulations.

One of the cases that has gone viral shows that there have been prosecutions in the form of detention and confiscation of electronic devices by Saudi police in the Nabawi Mosque area due to the virality of the content.

In addition, regarding ethics and rules, Saudi Arabia is very strict about making visual content and disturbing public activities. For this reason, always prioritize adherence to local law on location romanticism.

Departing from the viral incident, it was interesting that the Saudi Arabian government then issued an announcement regarding the official permit to carry out the marriage contract at the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque.

Now getting married at the Prophet's Mosque no longer depends on risky personal initiatives, but through official channels prepared by the authorities. To ensure that your marriage is legal in terms of sharia and law, you must take care of it through:

Prospective brides are also required to prepare original A13 and A14 Documents, accompanied by three photocopies that have been legalized by the local KUA Chief. After that, documents must go through a chain legalization process (official stamps) from three important agencies in Jakarta, namely:

After all the documents were passed by the three institutions above, the files were brought to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia to be submitted to the Head of the Indonesian Representative in Jeddah. This process will continue for the issuance of marriage books and the legal recognition of your marriage.

Getting married at the Prophet's Mosque is a beautiful dream. Make sure you follow the legal procedures for getting married at the Prophet's Mosque, from legalizing documents to approval of the Saudi authorities, for the sake of a legal and blessed marriage.
