This study examines the legal provisions regarding interfaith marriage in Indonesia from the perspective of Islamic law and national law. The focus lies on the differences and points of convergence between the two legal systems in assessing the validity of marriages conducted between couples of different religions. This research employs a library research method with a normative-comparative approach, analyzing primary sources such as the Qur’an, Hadith, the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), Law Number 1 of 1974 on Marriage, as well as relevant court decisions. The results show that Islamic law explicitly prohibits interfaith marriage, particularly between a Muslim woman and a non-Muslim man, as it contradicts the principles of faith and the objectives of marriage in Islam. Meanwhile, national law through Law Number 1 of 1974 stipulates that a marriage is valid only if conducted according to the laws of each religion and belief, which implicitly rejects the legality of interfaith marriage. In practice, however, some individuals seek legal loopholes through human rights interpretations or by registering their marriages abroad. Therefore, both Islamic and national law share the same goal: to preserve the sanctity of marriage and maintain social harmony based on the divine values upheld by the Indonesian nation.

Marriage is a sacred bond that is carried out by a woman and a man to become husband and wife. Basically every religion has its own proisions regarding marriage. In practice, especially in Indonesia, there are still many who practice interfaith marriages so that this practice has become a discussion that until now and in practice there are also many Muslims who still carry out interfaith marriages. This study aims to examine how the Islamic Law Compilation and Human Rights views the practice of interfaith marriage. The results of this study indicate that both according to the Islamic Law Compilation (KHI) and Human Rights (HAM) state that interfaith marriage is an act that is forbidden because it has violated God’s commands, every religion forbids its people to marry people of different religions. The prohibition on interfaith marriage has also been enshrined in the Marriage Law and also the Islamic Law Compilation, so that every citizen is obliged to follow the applicable legal rules. In human rights, the highest human right is divinity so that every people must obey God’s commands.  

Marriage in Indonesia is regulated by Law Number 1 of 1974 which requires implementation according to religious law, but interfaith marriages often cause problems, especially in inheritance rights. Indonesia recognizes three inheritance law systems: Islamic, civil, and customary, which regulate inheritance differently. Children from interfaith marriages often face inheritance obstacles, especially if there are differences of faith between the testator and the heirs. Several court decisions provide inheritance rights through a mandatory will, but are limited to one-third of the inheritance. Existing solutions include preparing a clear will, mediating disputes, and involving a notary to validate documents. A comprehensive approach through legal education and collaboration between the government, non-governmental organizations, and the community is needed to provide legal certainty and justice for children from interfaith marriages.

The purpose of this research is to find out a review of the compilation of Islamic law regarding interfaith marriages from a sharia perspective. The method used in this research is qualitative, with a comparative approach by conducting literature studies related to studies of theories relevant to the problem of interfaith marriages.

The goal of marriage is to create a sakinanh, mawaddah wa Rahmah household, but this goal is very difficult to realize if the marriage is built on the basis of different religions. Based on Marriage Law Number 1 of 1974 which is implemented in the compilation of Islamic law, it states that it does not accommodate interfaith marriages to strengthen the arguments put forward in the Koran.

Indonesia's balance of payments often fluctuates from time to time. A current account deficit does not result in a balance of payments deficit because the financial account increases capital and compensates for the current account deficit.

This will system has been running since ancient times, not only the Islamic religion regulates it, but every community has an understanding of wills. A will is a gift of property from a person to another person or to several people whose implementation is after the person's death. The type of research used is library research, because the study is focused on library materials by tracing and examining academic standard literature. Methods of data collection in the form of books, journals, and Islamic law compilation regulations (KHI). The results of the study show that Syafiiyah's legal view of wills applies to anyone who is not an heir. However, there are limitations to giving the will. Where, a person is only entitled to bequeath a small portion of his property. This is intended so that the will does not harm the heirs left behind. Meanwhile, the pillars in the will in the view of fiwih Syafiiyah are the person who inherits, the person who is inherited, the will and the presence of sighar or consent qabul. Whereas the will according to positive law states that the existence of article 195 of the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) can be realized in the current Indonesian context because in general the existence of the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) includes article 195.

This journal writing was conducted to discuss the topic of Islamic Inheritance Law, especially in terms of transferring assets through a mandatory will. This study uses normative juridical and empirical juridical methods with data in the form of secondary data. This research has the result that KHI (Compilation of Islamic Law), as a rational formulation of Islamic Inheritance Law, has practically explained the rules of Obligatory wills. Obligatory wills in KHI are an alternative in giving inheritance to adopted children. Then in the development of inheritance law in court institutions, in this case the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia, actually made the Obligatory will as a way to provide inheritance shares for heirs of different religions. The obligatory testament rules as an alternative to the transfer of rights to the wealth of non-Muslim heirs must still pay attention to the principles. The Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia has expanded Article 209 KHI by adding parties that can receive a mandatory will, including heirs who are prevented from inheriting because they are non-Muslims.
