Abstract: Nikah sirri (unregistered marriage) is still a crucial issue that can not be solved. On one side, it is permissible based on religious context. On the other side, it must going through a strict procedure based on marriage act context. This article reviews the legal consequences of unregistered marriage. In the perspective of positive law in Indonesia, a marriage for Moslems, not only must be done under Islamic law, but also must be held in front of and must be registered by the Marriage Registry Officer under law and regulation. Marriage which does not comply those conditions has no legal power (vide Ps. 2 UU No.1 / 1974 jo. Ps.2 (1) PP. 9/1975). In reality, not all Moslems in Indonesia meet those conditions under law and regulation, so that there are still some Moslems with various reasons doing unregistered marriage.
Abstrak: Nikah Sirri masih menjadi masalah krusial yang tidak dapat dipecahkan. Disatu sisi secara teks agama nikah sirri diperbolehkan, disisi yang lain, nikah sirri dalam konteks undang-undang perkawinan harus melalui prosedur yang ketat. Artikel ini akan mengulas tentang akibat hukum nikah sirri. Dalam perspektif hukum positif di Indonesia, perkawinan atau pernikahan bagi umat Islam, di samping harus dilakukan menurut hukum Islam, juga setiap perkawinan wajib dilangsungkan di hadapan dan dicatat oleh Pejabat Pencatat Nikah menurut peraturan perundang-undangan. Perkawinan yang tidak dilakukan sesuai dengan ketentuan tersebut tidak mempunyai kekuatan hukum (vide Ps. 2 UU No.1/1974 jo. Ps.2 (1) PP. No.9/1975). Pada kenyataannya tidak semua umat Islam Indonesia mematuhi ketentuan peraturan perundang-undangan tersebut, sehingga masih ada di antara masyarakat muslim dengan berbagai alasan melakukan pernikahan sirri.
