YOGYAKARTA 'How is the unregistered marriage law without the knowledge of the family? Before knowing the answer to this question, it's a good idea to understand what an unregistered marriage is and the legal requirements for marriage. Let's look at the full information in the following article.

According to Yani C.Lesar in Siri's book Marriage: Answering All Questions about Siri's Marriage, the word unregistered marriage comes from Arabic az-zawaj as-siri which means hidden or not announced to the public.

In Indonesia, unregistered marriages are often carried out without official records at the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) or other state administrative institutions.

In other words, serial marriage is not officially recognized by the state, so it does not have legal force in terms of protecting the rights of couples or children born from the marriage.

Not only that, marriages that are not officially registered also often have impacts, such as chaos in administrative matters or claims of future legal rights.

Quoted from the official website of the Ministry of Religion, in Islam, marriage is considered legal if it meets the following marriage pillars:

The marriage house is part of the marriage itself, so the absence of one of them will make the marriage invalid. This provision also applies to unregistered marriages.

Please note, unregistered marriage is not a marriage without a guardian, but a marriage that is not officially registered at the KUA alias does not have a marriage certificate.

The above has been mentioned that the legal requirements for marriage cannot be separated from the pillars.

In the marriage unit, there is a marriage guardian who is tasked with granting permission and approval for the marriage, as well as playing a role in protecting the interests of women who are getting married.

In Islam, the general guardian of marriage is the biological father of the bride and groom. If the biological father cannot attend, then sequentially those who have the right to be guardians are the grandfather of the father, brother of the brother (brother or sister), brother of the father, uncle (brother brother), son of uncle from the father path.

However, if all the guardians of the nasab are not present or do not meet the requirements, guardianship rights can be transferred to the guardian of the judge. What is meant by the guardian of the judge is an official appointed by the government or religious institution to hold a marriage in order to fulfill the legal requirements for marriage in Islam.

From the explanation above, it can be concluded that unsolvable marriage without the knowledge of the family remains valid according to Islam, as long as it fulfills five marriage pillars.

Even so, if the marriage is held by the marriage guardian who is not in accordance with the provisions, then the serial marriage is considered invalid.
