INTERFAITH MARRIAGE
Interfaith
marriage , some people call it the same as mixed marriages , and some are of
the opinion that interfaith marriage is not entered in mixed marriages , but
the stand- alone term . The term mixed marriages are often expressed members of
everyday society , intermarriage is due to differences in customs / ethnic
diversity , or because of religious differences between the two beings who will
perform the marriage .
In Article 57 of
Law No. 1/1974 About Marriage , intermarriage is in this legislation is a
marriage between two people in Indonesia are subject to different laws ,
because the difference of citizenship and one side of Indonesian nationality .
Thus based on the
law , then the inter- religious marriage is not part of mixed marriages but
have a notion that stands alone .
The interfaith marriage formulated by Abdurrahman cited EOH is a
marriage that is done by people who embrace different religions and beliefs
with one another .

the inter- religious marriage is a marriage between two people of different
religions and each retaining their religion .

faiths will hold a marriage often experience barriers . This is due partly
