This article finds that Indonesia’s Religious Councils have no role by any means in the formation of legal policies related to inter-faith marriage in Indonesia since the Marriage Law had been created before the Religious Councils established. Data were collected through observation and semi-structured interviews with the representative of Indonesia’s religious councils from six religions. This study attempts to analyze the relations between Indonesia’s Religious Councils and the legal policies on inter-faith marriages.
Moreover, there are some different views between religious leaders on the permissibility of the inter-faith marriage. 1 of 1974 has not accommodated the legal policy of marriage between different religions.
The legal vacuum for of inter-faith marriage is one of the unresolved issues in Indonesia, especially with regard to civil rights.
