Abstract

Statements that interfaith marriages constitute a space for tolerance are becoming more prevalent in society as a result of the polemics surrounding interfaith marriages, also known as mixed marriages, which are governed under Indonesian marriage law. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to comprehend the opinions of academics on interfaith marriages as well as the prevalence of such unions in Indonesia. The method of research performed is library research, and the literature studied includes books, journals, and other publications that are pertinent to the research topic. According to the study's findings, there are still many different perspectives about interfaith marriage as a reality in people's lives. For instance, the principles of Islam as represented by Islamic groups like MUI, NU, and Muhammadiyah specifically forbid interfaith unions. The Koran, hadith, and studies of ancient scholars, together with Indonesian laws and regulations, form the foundation of Islamic organizations' ban on marriage. However, there are still others who strive for the legalization of interfaith unions
