Interreligious Marriages after Sema Number 2 of 2023
Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2023, Vol 6, Issue 12
Abstract
Indonesia has a plurality of religions adhered to by its population. The issue of marriage in Indonesia has become a polemic because often couples who will enter into a marriage of different religions avoid the existing laws in Indonesia by entering into marriage abroad, or continue to carry out marriage even though they are of different religions, while some convert to the religion of one of the partners so that the marriage can take place. The turmoil that arose to the surface after the birth of SEMA Number 2 of 2023 made the assumption that its contents were incompatible with Indonesia's diversity and Pancasila, a setback in guaranteeing the rights and freedoms of citizens from diverse backgrounds, and curbing the freedom of judges in interpreting and making decisions that were as fair as possible according to the trial. The type of research used is Normative research, which relies on primary legal materials with a statutory approach. The purpose of this research is to find out the syncranization and harmonization of SEMA 2 Year 2023 in the regulation of interfaith marriages in Indonesia. The conclusion of this research is that SEMA No. 2 of 2023 does not contradict the existing laws above it when associated with existing marriage regulations in Indonesia because marriage law in Indonesia submits the validity of marriage based on each religion. Human rights in Indonesia in Law Number 39 of 1999 concerning human rights marriage is carried out in accordance with statutory provisions, SEMA is not a legal product, but only as a guide for judges in deciding cases of interfaith marriages.
