Juridical Study of Islamic Law Against Marriage Under the Hand Through Online Applications

Abstract

In Indonesia, the only recognized legal frameworks for marriage are Law No. 1 of 1974 and the Compilation of Islamic Law's marriage articles. However, at the start of 2015, the media reported on a new phenomenon known as "online marriage," where certain individuals offered marriage services for a fee without the need for a marriage guardian. In examining the legal status of these marriages under Islamic law, it is important to note that no guardian or even a prospective bride is required. This qualitative study uses a juridical-normative approach and a literature review as its methodology. Primary data was obtained from online marriage service providers, while related references served as secondary data sources. The findings of the study indicate that these marriages are considered invalid under both religious law and legislation.
