Abstract

Unregistered marriage (nikah siri) remains a significant issue in Indonesian society because the absence of official marriage registration can create legal uncertainty and threaten family resilience, particularly regarding the protection of women’s and children’s rights. Although such marriages may fulfill the requirements of Islamic law, the lack of state recognition can affect the fulfillment of family responsibilities and the establishment of a sakinah household characterized by tranquility, harmony, and mutual care. This study aims to analyze the problems associated with unregistered marriages and their influence on family resilience in creating a sakinah household from the perspectives of Islamic law, Indonesian positive law, and family welfare. This research employs a normative-juridical and sociological approach. Data were collected from primary legal materials, including relevant legislation, as well as books and scholarly journal articles on Islamic jurisprudence, unregistered marriage, and family resilience. The data were analyzed deductively, with conclusions drawn through inductive reasoning. The findings reveal that unregistered marriages can weaken family resilience across legal, economic, social, and psychological dimensions. The absence of official marriage documentation may complicate the protection of wives’ rights, the fulfillment of financial obligations, children’s civil documentation, and the resolution of family disputes. These conditions can generate insecurity, social pressure, and conflict within the household. The study concludes that marriage registration, responsible fulfillment of marital obligations, and protection of women and children are essential to strengthening family resilience and realizing a sakinah household.
