Abstract

Nurses are at the forefront of handling COVID-19. Technological advances plus the Covid-19 emergency resulted in the implementation of the marriage contract being carried out virtually by nurses while undergoing isolation. This study aims to analyze the practice of virtual nurses' marriage contracts during the covid-19 pandemic according to marriage law and health law. This is a normative legal research conducted by means of literature research to explore primary and secondary legal materials using a conceptual approach. The results of this study concluded that the practice of virtual marriage contracts carried out by nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic had two important aspects to consider, namely aspects of religion and health. The Marriage Law does not explicitly regulate virtual marriage contracts, but the arrangements are returned to the laws of each religion. There are differences of opinion regarding virtual marriage contracts in the treasures of Islamic marriage law. The group that refuses to think that the marriage contract must be carried out directly in one assembly, while those who accept mean one assembly in the sense of one continuous time. Nurses who are in isolation due to Covid and decide to hold a virtual marriage contract as an effort to maintain the health of themselves and the community as well as to realize the maqashid sharia marriage, which is to protect religion, soul, mind, lineage, and property.
