Analisis Kepastian Hukum di Indonesia: Evaluasi Pencatatan Perkawinan Dalam Konteks Hukum Keluarga Islam Kontemporer

Marriage registration is a fundamental aspect in ensuring legal certainty and protection of civil rights in the family law system in Indonesia. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the urgency of marriage registration in order to strengthen legal protection for individuals and family institutions. The method used is a literature study with a juridical, sociological, and theological approach to laws and regulations and relevant family law literature. The results of the study show that unrecorded records have an impact on the unclear legal status of spouses and children, complicate the legal divorce process, and weaken civil rights such as inheritance and division of joint property. In addition, low legal awareness, cultural factors, and complex bureaucracy are the main obstacles in the implementation of recording. This study concludes that marriage registration is not only an administrative obligation, but also a strategic instrument in ensuring social justice and legal protection within the framework of a civilized state of law.
