ANALYSIS OF MARRIAGE CONTRACT THROUGH TELECONFERENCE PERSPECTIVE WAHBAH AZ-ZUHAILI AND ISLAMIC FAMILY LAW IN INDONESIA

In the era of technology like today, it is feasible to facilitate a marriage contract with the aid of technology, which can streamline the process for the parties involved in conducting the marriage contrac. The purpose of this study is to analyse the views of an Islam figure about the marriage contract carried out via teleconference, as well as to determine the prospects of these views in the development of Islamic family law that exists in Indonesia. This study employed a qualitative research method with a library research approach, involving various activities related to collecting library data, conducting literature review and using primary sources of data to uncover factual information for the research. The results of this study show that the development of marriage through technology has indeed continued to progress from time to time, starting from the ratification of Decree No. 1751 / P / 1989 by the South Jakarta religious court until finally tapering to the practice of marriage through teleconferences, ranging from teleconferences using video phones with mobile phones to video conferences using applications like WhatsApp, zoom meeting and so on. Similarly, the findings of this study indicate that the marriage contract conducted through teleconference has not been specifically regulated in the existing laws of Indonesia, making it somewhat ambiguous. The legal framework regarding this matter is currently lacking. However, according to the perspective of Wahbah Az-Zuhaili, teleconference marriage can be considered permissible and valid. This research can have an impact on the knowledge of the wider community regarding Islamic religious tolerance and religious rules, as well as updates in the millennial era, and open new insights and policies for the House of Representatives of the The Republic of Indonesia to reinforce about legalisation of laws in the permissibility of marriage contracts by Teleconference.
