Abstract

Conflict can emerge from marriage involving parties of a different faith. However, interfaith marriage may also expose negotiation to secure the union. Although interfaith marriage is normatively restricted in Islamic law, it does occur. This study departs from the normative discourse of Islamic law and the empirical research of Muslim family law. It uses the theory of law, conflict, and integration to analyse the textual debates and practice of interfaith marriage in Lombok, Indonesia. This study reveals the patterns of Muslim interreligious marriage and the conversion that applies. The first pattern shows that non-Muslim partners convert to Islam before the marriage can be concluded. The second pattern involves Muslims who leave Islam to marry their non-Muslim partner. The third pattern suggests that each couple adheres to a different belief during the marriage even though the marriage contract was performed according to Islamic law. From the perspective of Islamic law, in the sense of sharia and Muslim family code, the first pattern is the most ideal because it follows these Islamic legal normativities. Although all practices have the potential for family and social integration, the second pattern is the most susceptible to conflict. Keywords: interfaith marriage, conflict, integration, Islamic law

印尼穆斯林跨宗教婚姻谈判:伊斯兰法律的整合与冲突
信仰不同的人可能会在婚姻中产生冲突。然而,跨宗教婚姻也可能暴露谈判以确保结合。尽管伊斯兰教法规范地限制了不同宗教间的婚姻,但这种情况确实存在。本研究脱离了伊斯兰教法的规范性话语和穆斯林家庭法的实证研究。它使用法律,冲突和整合的理论来分析文本辩论和跨宗教婚姻在印度尼西亚龙目岛的实践。这项研究揭示了穆斯林跨宗教婚姻的模式和适用的转换。第一种模式表明,非穆斯林伴侣在结婚之前就皈依了伊斯兰教。第二种模式是穆斯林离开伊斯兰教,与非穆斯林伴侣结婚。第三种模式表明,尽管婚姻契约是根据伊斯兰法律执行的,但每对夫妇在婚姻期间都坚持不同的信仰。从伊斯兰教法的角度来看,在伊斯兰教法和穆斯林家庭法典的意义上,第一种模式是最理想的,因为它遵循了这些伊斯兰法律规范。虽然所有的做法都有可能使家庭和社会一体化,但第二种方式最容易发生冲突。关键词:跨宗教婚姻,冲突,融合,伊斯兰教法
