Role of State Policy on Interreligious Marriage in Central Java”
Concept of Legal Policy and Legal Justice
Foucault also explains that the legal and judicial
systems are areas that are definitely associated with domination and power
through conquest. According to him, law should not be demonstrated with
established legitimacy, when in fact it is always a process of conquest.
However Rawls
said that a just law must be based on justice and a sense of justice for the
public, while obeying the law determines the extent to which laws, institutions and policies are fair. Not only normative, justice is
also at the procedural level of justice.
Civil Society Rights
Human rights in
society and nation therefore include: freedom of religion, from education and teaching, thought both orally and in
writing, owning a house or place of residence,
association and association, rights to protection and legal equality,
equality of constitutional rights, protection
of self and property. objects,
individual freedoms that the state cannot exercise. fight over it, and the right to have an equal position in
government. According to him, both the majority and the minority have the same
rights and obligations as citizens and there should be no groups that are liked
and discriminated against. In conclusion,
it seems that the right to marry is fundamental for citizens because
it is part of the civil rights
that should be guaranteed
by the state.
Regulation of Marriage between Religions in
Indonesia
Marriage in
Indonesia before the birth of the Marriage Law Number 1 of 1974 is regulated in
several laws, namely religious law, customary law and Western law. During the
reign of the Netherlands, marriages were arranged in several rules according to
the following groupings. First, Europeans follow
the Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek
/ BW). Second, Chinese in general
also participate in BW with the exception of Civil Registration and pre-marriage events.
Third, Arabs and Easterners outside China follow their own customary
laws. Fourth, Indonesian indigenous peoples follow customary law in which
Christians follow the Christian, Javanese, Minahasa and Ambon Marriage Deed
(Ordinance Huwelijk Christen Indonesiers Java, Minahasa an Amboina / HOCI) based
on Staatsblad No. 74 in 1933. Fifth,
non-people from the previous class / group follow the
rules of mixed marriage.
Prior to the provision
of marriage in the Marriage
Law Number 1 of 1974, interfaith marriages had legal legitimacy based on
Staatsblad 1898 no. 158. In the
Marriage Law, it is clear that there are no provisions regarding
interfaith marriage because
the law itself only recognizes and only states the validity of interfaith marriages as referred
to in Article 2 paragraph (1).
The state appears
to allow interfaith marriages because they must not be legally registered.
Unfortunately, interfaith marriage is only recognized as an administrative
marriage registered with the Population and Civil Registry
Office instead of a marriage
that is legalized
as a legally valid marriage even though some religious
understandings allow this type of marriage.
Administrative System and Mechanism Towards Interfaith Marriage in
Indonesia
Law Number 23
of 2006 concerning Population Administration describes the order of important
community events, one of which is the marriage event mentioned in Articles 8
and 9 in addition to Articles 34 and 35 which clarify the provisions for
registration of marriage. Article 34 reads as follows: (1) A marriage which is
valid according to the provisions of law must be reported by the population to
the official institution where the marriage is carried out no later than 60
(sixty) days from that date; (2) Based on the report as referred to in number
(1), the Civil Registry officer
shall record it in the Marriage Deed book and issue the Marriage
Deed that it issues. Furthermore, Article 35 states that "the registration
of marriage as referred to in Article 34 also applies to: (a) marriages
determined by the court.
From the description above,
it is clear that critical
incidents including spouse marriages outside the Muslim community are recorded
at the Population and Civil Registry Service as described in Article 8 of Law Number 23 of 2006. However, the
explanation of Article 9 paragraph (1) letter b states that the recording is
carried out after the civil record has received the Court's decision which shows
that the person concerned has received the District Court's decision.
Interfaith Marriage Implementation Policy
The policy
for organizing interfaith marriages is very much influenced by how and to what
extent stakeholders understand or consider the provisions regarding
interfaith marriage. In this
view, Mahfudh argues that state policy does affect the color of the existing
law. Likewise, Birkland explained that among its characteristics, policies are
made based on the public interest.
Interfaith Marriage: Between State Policy and Civil Society Rights
This normative
and narrow view has greatly influenced the implementation of interfaith
marriage policy. The rejection of the request for permission from the Court
clerk of the Court clearly shows how procedurally policy
makers do not provide a sense of justice to citizens who apply for interfaith marriage.
Policy makers and
law enforcers must first understand the legal basis of Pancasila and the
provisions in Article 29 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution which states
"the state guarantees the freedom of every citizen to adhere to his
religion", Law Number 39 of 1999 concerning Human Rights (HAM ) Article 10
paragraph (1) which explains "everyone has the right to build a family and
continue their offspring through legal marriage and free will", as well as
related articles concerning interfaith. marriages that are not explicitly
described in the Marriage Law Number 1 of 1974.
This is all aimed at the state providing
a sense of justice for the benefit
of its people in order
to obtain the legality of interfaith marriage.
