An Islamic Legal Analysis of Siri Marriage in the Digital Era: Between Legality and Morality
Keywords:
Digital Era, Islamic Law, Digital Era, Islamic Law, Unregistered MarriageAbstract
The phenomenon of nikah siri (unregistered marriage) in the digital era presents a complex issue that highlights tensions between Islamic legal norms, state legality, and social morality. This study aims to analyze the perspective of Islamic law on nikah siri practices in the context of the digital age, examine the dimensions of legality and morality based on classical and contemporary sources, and identify the relevance of Islamic legal norms in responding to modern societal challenges. Employing a qualitative approach through the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, this research draws data from Islamic legal literature, family law, digital technology, and previous relevant studies. The findings reveal that nikah siri is driven not only by religious motivations but also by regulatory gaps and the ease of digital access. Textual Islamic legal norms have proven insufficient in addressing the complexities of modern nikah siri. Thus, a contextual ijtihad approach is necessary—one that prioritizes substantive justice and protection for women and children. This study contributes to the development of Islamic legal scholarship by integrating classical and contemporary literature within the digital context and offers a foundation for more adaptive and ethical policies in addressing modern nikah siri phenomena
