PERKAWINAN SIRI DALAM PERSPEKTIF HUKUM KELUARGA ISLAM DAN IMPLIKASINYA TERHADAP PERLINDUNGAN PEREMPUAN

Abstract

Serial marriage, although recognized as legal in Islam, is a controversial issue in the context of Islamic family law and positive law in Indonesia. This practice is often chosen by couples who face administrative constraints, but it has serious consequences for women's rights, such as inheritance rights, alimony, and other legal protections. This study aims to analyze the practice of serial marriage from the perspective of Islamic family law and its implications for women's protection, as well as explore the obstacles faced in the application of existing laws. The method used in this study is a qualitative method with a normative and empirical approach, which includes literature studies, analysis of laws and regulations, and interviews with related parties, including Islamic family law experts and women involved in serial marriage. The data obtained were analyzed to identify legal and social challenges related to this practice. The results of the study show that although serial marriage is religiously legal, it is not legally recognized by the state, which leads to unclear legal status for women and children. The social implications of this practice include discrimination against women and difficulties in accessing basic rights. This study recommends the importance of harmonization between religious law and positive law and increased protection efforts for women involved in serial marriage, through more effective marriage registration mechanisms and legal education.
