Interfaith marriage is a complex issue and often becomes a subject of debate in Indonesian society. In both legal and religious contexts, this type of marriage faces various challenges, particularly from the perspective of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) and the Indonesian Marriage Law. This journal aims to analyze the problems surrounding interfaith marriage in Indonesia by examining Islamic legal views, regulatory frameworks, and the resulting social implications. From the fiqh perspective, the majority of scholars agree that a Muslim woman is not permitted to marry a non-Muslim man, whereas the marriage of a Muslim man to a woman from the People of the Book (Ahl al-Kitab) remains a topic of debate, depending on social context and public interest (maslahah). This reflects how Islamic law prioritizes the stability of faith (aqidah), household leadership, and the continuation of religious values in the upbringing of children. From the standpoint of national law, Indonesia’s Marriage Law No. 1 of 1974 places the validity of a marriage under the religious laws of the respective parties, making it difficult for interfaith marriages to be officially registered. As a result, such couples often face administrative barriers, issues in inheritance law, child custody rights, and social discrimination. This study concludes that a fair and constructive approach is necessary in addressing this issue, while preserving religious principles and maintaining social harmony in Indonesian society.

Pacal Dam as one of the infrastructures that has an important role in the life of the people of Bojonegoro Regency. Pacal Dam is one of the providers of water resources in meeting the needs of the surrounding community in irrigation and agriculture aspects. In addition, the Pacal Dam is also a water conservation medium which is one of the efforts to reduce surface runoff originating from the upstream of the river so that flooding does not occur downstream. Therefore, in planning, it is necessary to accurately calculate the stability of the weir. Spiral stability calculations are carried out to determine whether the weir is stable enough to withstand the external forces that occur. Factors that can affect stability include the weight of the weir, active and passive earth pressure forces, and the resulting uplift. In the stability analysis of the Pancal Dam, it was found that under normal conditions the SF (safety factor) result was 1.6082822, while in flood conditions the SF result was 1.55237, where the SF value was > 1.5 so it can be concluded that the weir planning has been able to withstand the overturning moment caused by water pressure, soil, and uplift pressure in flood conditions.
