BOGOR - The Bogor Regency Government, West Java, through the Office of Women's Empowerment, Child Protection, Population Control and Family Planning (DP3AP2KB), facilitated 31 unregistered couples to register for marriage or officially re-wedding. The Regional Secretary (Sekda) of Bogor Regency, Burhanudin, said that the activity, which is one of the Bator Berkeadaban Karsa programs, was carried out together with Forkopimda and the Bogor Regency Government in Ciomas Village, Tenjo District. The reason is, only 45 percent of those in the area are married, have a marriage certificate or are registered as Marriage Notification Employees (VAT). "This means that they are only religiously valid but not yet stateally. In order to be state-legitimate, they must refer to the Marriage Act, which is recorded by VAT," he said in Cibinong, Bogor, Antara, Monday, September 26. Burhan said, if you do not have a marriage certificate, you are worried that it will have an impact on inheritance issues, the issue of child birth certificates, and other population administration. The marriage isbat program in Bogor is not an impromptu program, we will continue to do it continuously. According to him, isbat marriage is a series of activities from the Women's Role Improvement Program Towards a Prosperous Healthy Family (P2WKSS). "We encourage regional officials to carry out various activities, including the provision of clean water, rehabilitation of uninhabitable houses, construction of environmental roads and so on. Including marriage isbat to provide protection for women and children in terms of legal force," said Burhanudin. Meanwhile, the Head of DP3AP2KB, Nurhayati, expressed his gratitude to all parties who have supported the P2WKSS series of activities. "Because there are many aspects that we must carry out together in order to achieve the goal of increasing the role of women to achieve healthy and prosperous families," he said. Nurhayati said, apart from being a sustainable program, the marriage isbat service in Ciomas Village, Tenjo District is also an innovative step in the context of assessing P2WKSS at the West Java Province level. "With this marriage isbat service in Bogor, it is hoped that it will make it easier for people to obtain legality and legal marriage administration. This activity also reflects the presence of the state in serving the community," explained Nurhayati.
