Mila Macheasy Reveals Reason For Reporting Rizky Billar

JAKARTA - The cases of Mila Macheasy and Rizky Billar and Lesti Kejora are growing. This time, Mila raised her voice to explain her intentions and a post on Facebook that went viral.

According to Mila, Rizky Billar and Lesti Kejora were suspected of having lied to the public with two qobul consents.

“To realize that this is wrong, because God willing, Lesti and Billar are doing charity work. Because of their talk, realized that the day was wrong. It will also make a lot of people aware that this is the path that must be taken when having an unregistered marriage,” said Mila Macheasy, a former PAN politician.

Mila explained that she did not say that unregistered marriages were not allowed but the question was that Rizky Billar and Lesti Kejora had made the consent twice.

"I'm just writing my opinion, what I understand in Islamic law about unregistered marriages, where unregistered marriages must be recorded through itsbat because in what I understand in Islam there is no such thing as a two-time consent," he continued.

Mila also only reported Rizky Billar not with Lesti, the reason being that when Lesti was married, she had been 'handed over' to her parents.

"When they registered with the KUA they didn't say they were married religiously, even though in the state regulations, the Law of Year 74 is article 2, paragraph 1, that marriage is legal when it is carried out by religion and belief," he said.

He regretted that Billar and Lesti had made the consent twice and shown it to the public. He is worried that society will normalize things like that in the future.

"Hopefully sakinah mawaddah warahmah with the humility of Lesti - Billar to admit there was a mistake and apologize and not look for scholars who justify," concluded Mila.
