Inter Religious Marriages

M. Husni Mubarok ( 031104114) /II D

Inter Religious Marriages

Interfaith marriage has become trend in the some countries. We can find it in some countries like in U.S.A, Singapore, Tibet, and also in Indonesia. It traditionally (especially in the Catholic Church) called mixed marriage, is marriage (either religious or civil) between partners professing different religions. Some religions prohibit interfaith marriage, and while others do allow it, most restrict it. Some Indonesian artists also do it like Jamal Mirdad- Lidya Kandau, Mayong Laksono-Nurul Arifin, Ari Sigit-Rica Callebut, Jeremy Thomas-Ina Indrayati, Frans Lingua-Amara, Henry Siahaan-Yuni Sara, and Ari Sihasale-Nia Zulkarnain.

               The Civil Registry Office's position on the matter is based on first verse of Marriage Law No.1/1974, which states that marriage is valid if conducted according to the religions and beliefs of the prospective bride and groom. Therefore, a marriage must first be authorized by religion before it can be registered with the Civil Registry Office. According to Presidential Decree No.12/1983, the Civil Registry Office is only authorized to register non-Muslim marriages. Consequently, many inter-religious couples are unable to formally register their marriages at the Civil Registry Office. Some couples attempt to sneak past this law by pretending to profess their partner's faith in order to legally register. Others are forced to maintain de-facto relationships or to marry overseas, such as in Singapore. 

Islam only allows a man to marry a non-Muslim if she is Christian (specifically Greek Orthodox) or Jewish. The wife need not adopt any Muslim laws, and the husband is not allowed to keep her from going to church or synagogue. The early jurists of the most prominent schools of Islamic jurisprudence ruled in fiqh law that the marriage of a Muslim man to a Christian or Jewish women is makruh (reprehensible) if they live in a non-Muslim country. The Caliph Umar (634–644) denied interfaith marriage for Muslim men during his command of the ummah.

Fiqh also forbids Muslim women from marrying non-Muslim men, although there is nothing in the Quran nor the Sunnah (sharia) that explicitly prohibits such unions. Some Muslim scholars (ahli kitab) go so far as to state that such a marriage is an act of apostasy, but with the growing number of such marriages, this position is being questioned. In some Muslim countries, if a non-Muslim woman is married to a non-Muslim, and she converts to Islam, the marriage is suspended until her husband converts to Islam. When he converts a new marriage is not needed.

Although fiqh forbids Muslim women's marriage with non-Muslim men, there are lots of Muslimah who have married men who follow other religions. These cases are mainly observed in Balkan peninsular and West of Turkey, West Europe, East Asia, and sometimes in Syria or Lebanon. They are also becoming more common in the West.

In conclusion, Inter Religious Marriages is forbidden because it is not recognized by the government in Indonesia and also for Moslems but according to Universal Declaration of Human Rights, we have to appreciate the people who love each other although they are different religion

Polyandry is a form of polygamy in which one woman is married to several men. Polyandry has been traditionally thought of as a rare phenomenon, however recent research has shown this trend is widespread throughout the animal kingdom, with evidence of multiple mating by females in many groups. This trend is surprising because it appears to go against the basic principles of sexual selection.

The process of breeding has many costs including an increased risk of predation, energy loss, time lost that could have been spent feeding, and increased risk of harm from members of the same species. Taking all this into consideration, why would a female mate multiply?

There are several different ways this might be happening, and it is possible that a combination of these factors may be driving polyandry:

1. Genetic bet-hedging: females mate with many males to gain greater genetic diversity in their offspring, thereby hedging their bets against a changing environment.

2. Genetic improvement or Trade-up: females are relating with a good quality male in order to 'trade-up' on a previous mating with a low-quality male.

3. The good genes model: females mate multiply to gain access to 'good genes' for their offspring by trading up, or post-copulatory cues (this assumes that there in one best male for all females).

4. The genetic incompatibility model: females are mating multiply to gain access to the male that they are most genetically compatible with by trading-up, or postcopulatory cues (this assumes that there is no one best male for all females and that due to the genetic complexity of organisms each female has her own best mate).

Polyandry in Tibet was a traditional marriage practice that existed within a milieu whereby a woman could have several husbands; a father and his sons could share the same wife, and a mother and her daughters could share the same husband.

Islam and Judaism ban polyandry completely. In Islam the verse from the Quran that is typically used for a proof in this matter is Surah Nisa’ Chapter 4 verses 22 to 24, which gives the list of women with whom one cannot marry and it is further mentioned in Surah Nisa’ Chapter 4 verse 24. Nikah Ijtimah, a pre-Islamic tradition of polyandry, was forbidden by Islam.There is at least one reference to polyandry in the ancient Hindu epic, Mahabharata. Draupadi marries the five Pandava brothers. This ancient text remains largely neutral to the concept of polyandry, accepting this as her way of life.

In Indonesia, Polyandry is not recognizing because there is no verse in law (undang-undang). If we do it we can get “Undang-Undang No 1 Tahun 1974 yang mengatur tentang perceraian dan perzinahan”

A currency is a unit of exchange, facilitating the transfer of goods
and/or services. Currencies vary across countries and include the
dollar, euro, pound, and yen. The origin of currency is the creation

Have you seen American Pie 6 Movie? What's your opinion?

M. Husni Mubarok---031104114

Hallo guys.... in this opportunity, I wanna discuss about a film which
has a title American pie 6. May be all of you have seen this movie.
Really it's an interesting movie but I think the film do not have an
educate for us. Women and men can do anything as they want and there
is not a sensor for misbehaviors.

Yeah,,,I think the film like that is not good for us especially
children and I think American Pie is a "naked film" which destroys our
culture and religion.

Why the film like that easy to find? Yups... a robber who copies the
films make us easy to find because it sells cheaply. Because it has
happened, i think we must be careful to choose a film and keep our
sister or brother for choosing an educated films.

Re: [BOGORCHICKENSOUP] CCU- New Year for rahayu puji

I think your experience is not bad although you stay in the place which far from crowd. I think we have to celebrate new year with reevaluate our selves. So we have to far from crowd. Why don't you do it say? I think that is an unforgotten moment if you do "muhasabah" or reevaluate. Next 2008, I invite you and all students in this group especially Mr. Cunong to join me for MUHASABAH to celebrate the becoming new year.

NEW YEAR--MUHAMMAD HUSNI MUBAROK (031104114)

What do you feel with becoming 2008? So, what will you do in 2008?
People around the world celebrate an event that happens when the end
of one year and the beginning of the next year. Cultures that measure
yearly calendars all have New Year celebrations. Hmmm, how about you?
Actually, people do party to celebrate New Year̢۪s Eve. Celebrations
begin on the New Year Eve on December 31st. Hotels, restaurants, clubs
and pubs organize New Year Eve balls and parties. People sing, dance
and make merry. Fun events and contests are also organized to
entertain the crowd. As New Year falls at the peak winter time in many
countries bonfires are lit to keep the people warm. And just when the
clock strikes for midnight firecrackers are burst to welcome the
advent of New Year. People greet Happy New Year with a warm hug to
every one around them. With loved ones and friends at a distance
people exchange greetings through SMSs and phone calls. No wonder,
phone network see maximum traffic at this time.
Tradition of welcoming the New Year by organizing feasts and
celebrations has been carried forward since ancient times. Historians
believe that New Year tradition was started by ancient Babylonians
more than 4,000 years ago. Egyptians, Romans, Celts continued it and
now the present generation cherish this tradition by celebrating New
Year in the most extravagant manner. Most countries across the globe
celebrate New Year on January 1. This day officially became the first
day of the year in 46 BC when Julius Caesar established the Julian
calendar. However, many countries and communities follow different
calendars and celebrate their New Year in an entirely different time
of the year by following their own specific customs and traditions.
Given here is glimpse of New Year traditions as observed on January 1
in countries following Gregorian calendar.
Actually, New Year not only celebrates with travel or party but also
self evaluation. We have to think that we will be better in the next
year than in the past.
