Abstract

Indications of misunderstanding in interpreting Article 2 Paragraph (1) of the Marriage Law have raised an idea to legalize interfaith marriage due to many evasions of law happening. This is the legal basis for the decisions of Constitutional Court No.68/PUU/XII/2014. This study aims to analyze judge's legal consideration in the Constitutional Court decision No.68/PUU/XII/2014 in setting refusal to a petition for a judicial review of Article 2 Paragraph (1) of the Marriage Law and its juridical implications on the evasion of the law of interfaith marriage in Islamic law perspective. The study is a doctrinal one with the decision No.68/PUU/XII/2014 as the primary analysis. The approach employs juridical normative, and the sources of data consist of primary and secondary data. The research specification is descriptive analysis, and the data are analyzed qualitatively. The results show that the judge's legal consideration in refusing the petition for judicial review of Article 2 Paragraph (1) of the Marriage Law against the 1945 Republic Indonesia constitution because the petitioner's postulate contradicts the principles of Divinity, moral value, religion, and Islamic law marriage principles. The juridical implications of the decision have become the foundation that evasion of the law of interfaith marriage is unconstitutional. The decision has engaged in reformulating Islamic law in the form of strengthening obedience for every Muslim on teachings of The Deity.
