JAKARTA - In the last few days, the world of social media has been enlivened by the circulation of marriage cards with pictures of 1 man and 4 columns for the wife.
The photo includes a photo of a man in a suit and wearing a black cap on the front display with the words Ministry of Religion written, not written by the Ministry of Religion. While in the rear view, there are four columns for photos of the wife.
The Head of the Public Relations, Data and Information Bureau of the Secretariat General of the Ministry of Religion Akhmad Fauzin confirmed that the card was not an official format issued by the Ministry of Religion, aka a hoax.
"The card with the husband's photo and four columns of wife's photo is a hoax, not an official card issued by the Ministry of Religion," said Akhmad Fauzin in Jakarta, Tuesday, June 7.
The Ministry of Religion since August 2021 has not issued physical marriage cards. The bride and groom who got married since that month, get a digital marriage card.
"Digital Marriage Cards issued by the Ministry of Religion display a photo of a husband and wife on the front page, accompanied by a description of the husband's name, wife's name, and the date of the marriage contract," explained Fauzin, his nickname.
"The top part of the card is written with the full name of the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia flanked by an image of Garuda and the Logo of the Ministry of Religion. While at the bottom, there is a description of the KUA where you get married, the certificate number, and a barcode that will be connected to the data server of the Islamic Community Guidance. The complete data of the bride and groom can be read through a barcode scan," he continued.
To get a marriage card, the prospective bride and groom fill out the marriage registration form via Simkah Web at https://simkah.kemenag.go.id/ or click SimkahWeb. The prospective bride and groom must fill in complete data, including a phone number and an active email address. After the bride and groom carry out the marriage contract, a digital marriage card will be sent via email and a registered WhatsApp number in the form of a link or 'link'.
“Marriage cards are not a substitute for a marriage book. So that the bride and groom will still receive a physical marriage book," he said.
