Abstract
Abstract Public awareness of marriage registration is still very low. This is evident from the increasing rate of unregistered marriages in Indonesia. Therefore, the problem of unregistered marriages must be resolved immediately with easier and more efficient procedures. The unresolved problem of unregistered marriages is not actually due to social problems of the perpetrators themselves, but rather the reluctance of the perpetrators of unregistered marriages to take care of it because the procedures are considered not easy and efficient. Therefore, this study examines the legal protection of unregistered marriages through tajdidun nikah in an effort to renew marriage law in Indonesia. This study is a normative-empirical study with case study and literature methods that look at the facts in the field and then review them from the perspective of applicable law. The results of this study indicate that the regulation of legal protection for unregistered marriages according to Positive Law in Indonesia is carried out through the submission of isbat nikah as regulated in Article 7 paragraph (3) of the KHI.
