KALBAR - The Regent of Sambas, West Kalimantan (Kalbar) Satono asked the public to avoid unregistered marriages or underhanded marriages. The regent does not want the number of widows or widowers in his city to increase.
"Don't let there be more widows and widowers in Sambas because of the rise of unregistered marriages or underhanded marriages," he said while giving a speech at the opening of the Integrated Marriage Isbat Session for the Jawai District at the Jawai District Head Office, Antara, Monday, July 26.
Satono added that underhand marriage also involves lineage, fate and nisab.
"If you marry under the hand, the lineage will be unclear. The nisab is also, if you die, the problem of inheritance can be noisy. Fate, if there are things that you don't want to happen, you can have bad luck," he said.
Satono said three important points namely lineage, fate and nisab were not only the duties of the Head of the Religious Courts, the Head of the Ministry of Religion, the Head of Dukcapil, and KUA. However, it takes synergy between district government, sub-district government to village government.
"I ask all sub-district heads and village heads to work together to build synergy on how to accelerate the resolution of this very long problem," he said.
Satono said the Integrated Marriage Isbat Session would continue to be held until no more couples were found to be married under the hands of a person so that they were not registered by the state.
"Now there is no longer any penghulu from the private sector, all of them are married off by the head of their respective KUA. This activity must be carried out until no more unregistered married couples are found," he said.
To the people of Sambas Regency, Satono reminded the importance of a marriage certificate for everyday life. In addition to marriage certificates, other population administration documents are no less important.
"A blurry and shabby paper is far more important than a person's strong memory. A note is very important as evidence. Starting from the world, to matters of worship, Allah SWT ordered angels to write it down. As evidence that cannot be denied," he said.
