Abstract :
Abstract Because marriage registration is complicated, some unregistered couples think marriage is enough with marriage contracts. This study covers Indonesia and Malaysia's laws on unrecorded weddings. Normative legal study. Unrecorded marriage deprived the woman and her children of legal protection for their rights to life, common property, inheritance, and identity (birth certificates and family cards). Indonesian law requires marriage registration, criminalizes unregistered marriage, and actively promotes it. Malaysia has (a) unregistered marriage is valid as long as it meets Islamic law; (b) unregistered marriage partners are sanctioned following Sharia Law; (c) unregistered marriage partners do not receive legal protection but can file claims based on equality and justice according to Islamic law; (d) marriage registration is not a legal requirement of marriage; and (e) government policies and programs to address unregistered marriage. This research improves Indonesian and Malaysian marriage registration and unregistered marriage issues.
