The “turun ranjang” marriage is a traditional practice found in several Indonesian ethnic groups, in which a man marries the younger sister of his deceased or divorced wife. This tradition aims to maintain family harmony, protect children, and preserve kinship ties. From the perspective of Islamic law, such a marriage is permissible as long as it fulfills the legal requirements and pillars of marriage, including the presence of a guardian, witnesses, mutual consent, and the absence of coercion. However, if any of these conditions are not met, the marriage may be considered invalid according to Islamic law. While this tradition has positive aspects such as preventing adultery and preserving family unity it may also lead to social conflict when performed under pressure or without full consent. Therefore, it is essential for those involved to seek guidance from Islamic scholars or legal experts to ensure the marriage aligns with religious principles and promotes family harmony. Overall, the “turun ranjang” marriage can be accepted if conducted with sincerity, awareness, and compliance with Islamic law.

Islam prescribes marriage as a sacred and fundamental institution in human life, aiming to preserve dignity, lineage, and to build a harmonious (sakinah), loving (mawaddah), and compassionate (rahmah) family. In Islamic teachings, marriage can be conducted either monogamously or polygamously, with specific conditions. In Indonesia, polygamous practices are strictly regulated by various legal provisions, such as Law Number 1 of 1974 and the Compilation of Islamic Law. Nevertheless, polygamy remains a controversial issue in society, often carried out without fulfilling legal requirements, such as through unregistered (sirri) marriages. This phenomenon reflects a legal dualism between religious norms and state regulations. Furthermore, the social construction of polygamy shows that it is not merely a religious or legal issue, but also a product of social, cultural, economic dynamics, and the evolution of modern values. This study aims to explore how social construction shapes the perception and practice of polygamy and its implications for household harmony. Using a multidisciplinary approach, this study seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the relevance of polygamy in contemporary society and its impact on family structure and child welfare.

Misyar marriage is a form of marriage that emerged in Muslim society, where both parties agree to waive some of the rights and obligations that usually exist in traditional marriages, such as maintenance and housing. This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of Misyar marriage from the perspective of Islamic law, the objectives of sharia (maqashid asy-syari’ah), and its impact in social and moral contexts. The study was conducted using a normative approach to sources of Islamic law, such as the Qur'an, hadith, and the views of contemporary scholars. The results of the study indicate that Misyar marriage is valid according to sharia because it fulfills the pillars and requirements of marriage, such as ijab, qabul, guardian, witnesses, and dowry. However, scholars have different opinions regarding its law. Yusuf Qardhawi and Wahbah Zuhaili allow Misyar marriage on the condition that the wife is willing to waive her rights, while Muhammad Az-Zuhaili forbids it because it is considered contrary to the main purpose of marriage, which is to build a harmonious, just, and affectionate family. Meanwhile, Ibn Uthaymeen took a tawaqquf (cautious) position because even though it is valid, Misyar marriage has the potential to deviate from the maqashid asy-syari’ah. This study concludes that although Misyar marriage can be a pragmatic solution in certain situations, such as to meet biological needs or certain social conditions, this practice tends to raise ethical issues, injustice, and harm women. Therefore, it is recommended that couples considering Misyar marriage understand its implications in depth and seek solutions that are more in line with the principles of justice and harmony in Islam.
