Abstract

Unregistered marriage may create legal uncertainty when a couple seeks formal recognition of their marital status. Such difficulties can become more complex for a divorced man or woman who has a previous marriage history and later entered an unregistered marriage. This article examines the legal and practical problems surrounding itsbat nikah for widowed or divorced couples with a history of siri marriage at the Bangilan District Office of Religious Affairs (KUA). It focuses on the status of the parties’ previous marriages, the evidentiary requirements, public understanding of the authority of the Religious Court and KUA, and the reasons that may discourage couples from applying for itsbat. The study is designed as qualitative field research using interviews, observation, and document review, supported by statutory and conceptual analysis. Because verified interview transcripts and case records have not yet been supplied for this draft, the discussion is presented as a preliminary analytical framework and must be completed with authentic field findings before submission. The legal analysis indicates that KUA registration services and judicial determination through the Religious Court are distinct processes. Accordingly, clear information, assistance in identifying required documents, and coordination between KUA and the Religious Court are important to improve access to legal certainty.
