“…Inherently, Indonesia prohibits interfaith marriage, which can be seen from several religions' various rules and statements. However, this does not condemn the Indonesian people for carrying out interfaith marriages in various ways (Judiasih, Asrimayasha, & Sudini, 2019). Merely, interfaith marriages carry heavy social responsibilities: the couple must be ready to be ostracised by society (Çiğdem, 2015).…”

Interfaith marriages in people's lives have been practised in many areas in Indonesia, even if it's not legally registered. The rule of law in Indonesia does not accommodate interfaith marriages. When interfaith marriage happens, the registration system should follow marriage registration either at the KUA (office of religious affairs) for Muslims or in the Civil Registry office for other religions. This study aims to analyse the practice of interreligious marriage in Manado and how they maintain a good marital relationship between the spouse of different religions. This research employs a qualitative approach by collecting data through interviews with 30 informants who practice interfaith marriages in Manado. The results of this research found that many people in Manado consider interfaith marriage as permissible. They argue that religion is a relationship between humans and God, while marriage is related to human beings. The family of different religions based their relationship on the principle of "Torang Samua Basudara" (we are bound through kinship). Based on this principle, the family avoids using religious symbols in their communication that can cause tension and disrupt harmony among family members. The principle of torang samua basudara is the basis for establishing good communication in the family.

Indonesia is a country that is famous for its multiculturalism, one of which is religion. Consequently, in living their lives, Indonesian people are faced with differences in various things, ranging from culture, way of life and interactions between individuals. The concern of the government and other components of the nation is the issue of inter-religious relations. One of the problems in inter-religious relations is the issue of mixed marriages (inter-religious marriages), which in this article are referred to as “interfaith marriages”. The condition of the pluralistic Indonesian society makes the association in society wider and more diverse. This has resulted in a more dynamic shift in religious values than what happened in the past. In fact, interfaith marriages in Indonesia are not justified based on positive national law that applies in the territory of Indonesia. It can be concluded that if the State legalizes interfaith marriages in Indonesia, the State is tantamount to violating the existing religious laws in Indonesia, and violating Article 29 of the 1945 Constitution which guarantees every citizen to embrace religion and worship according to their religion and belief, while Each religion has different procedures for marriage or worship. The view of human rights in Indonesia should refer more to the human rights arrangements contained in the 1945 Constitution, not to the UDHR which we ourselves do not know who made it and even what the agenda is for a country that is still very religious. Human rights in Indonesia, not secular human rights, which separate religion from the state, which legalize all means in the name of "human rights", this clearly contradicts the first principle of Pancasila, and this does not enter into the identity of the Indonesian nation. In this article, interfaith marriage will also be studied from the perspective of criminal law regarding its legality.

“…As a result, interfaith marriage seemed problematic to be carried out in Indonesia. Actually, there was still an opportunity to do interfaith marriage in Indonesia by asking for a court order [1]. However, this method was not easy and required a relatively long time.…”
