TANGGAPAN BUNDO KANDUANG KOTA PADANG TERHADAP RANCANGAN UNDANG-UNDANG NIKAH SIRI

Draft of Law on Religious Courts (RUUPA) about unregistered- marriage have led to pros and cons among the Muslims. This issue is also noticed by Bundo Kanduang; one of women’s Institutions in the city of Padang, West Sumatra. This institution is more concerning on the advantages of this enacted-draft as well as the disadvantages experienced by the women if it is not enacted. This institution shows its agreement by the reason that the draft of RUUPA can minimize negative impacts that may occur. One of the negative impacts is: there is no legality towards children born from this unregistered-marriage. This is due to the condition that parents do not report their marriage on the office of religious affairs Keywords: Bundo Kanduang, Unregistered-Marriage, Draft of low Copyright © 2014 by Kafa`ah All right reserved DOI :   10.15548/jk.v4i1.91
