Book SynopsisKorean divorce law still adheres to fault-based divorce. According to a majority of the Supreme Court, the main reason for not admitting a no-fault policy is that the preconditions for systems for financially protecting the spouse and children after divorce have not yet been satisfied in Korea.

Book SynopsisFrom the late eighteenth century, more and more men and women wished to marry their cousins or in-laws. This aim was primarily linked to changes in marriage concepts, which were increasingly based on familiarity. Wealthy as well as economically precarious households counted on related marriage partners. Such unions, however, faced centuries-old marriage impediments. Bridal couples had to apply for a papal dispensation. This meant a hurdled, lengthy and also expensive procedure. This book shows that applicants in four dioceses – Brixen, Chur, Salzburg and Trent – took very different paths through the thicket of bureaucracy to achieve their goal. How did they argue their marriage projects? How did they succeed and why did so many fail? Tenacity often proved decisive in the end.

Book SynopsisIn Aligning Religious Law and State Law: Negotiating Legal Muslim Marriage in Pasuruan, East Java, Muhammad Latif Fauzi investigates the extent to which the Indonesian state has regulated Muslim marriage, how a local community in Pasuruan, East Java practices and negotiates the regulation and how local officials deal with their practices. Instead of reforming the Marriage Law which would only stir up controversies, the Indonesian government has used a citizens’ rights approach to control marriage and to guide people towards compliance with the state legal framework. In everyday practice of marriage bureaucracy, the state agency in charge of Muslim marriage registration needs to maintain its image as a body capable of maintaining the proper balance between religious tradition and modern administration of a marriage. The practice of Muslim marriage registration has still left some leeway in which informality can function. This informality is important as it offers the capacity to make a compromise between people’s deep interest in religious law and state law. The state officials in charge of marriage administration on the frontier levels are amenable to adopting lenient approach towards marriage registrations, which is the key to securing the functioning of state law.Table of ContentsList of Figures and Tables Acknowledgements Abbreviations 1 Introduction  1 Unregistered Marriage and the Plurality of Legal Norms  2 Marriage: Sharīʿa Law, State Law and Bureaucratisation  3 Focus and Setting  4 Method  5 Structure of the Book Part 1 Law and Institution 2 Regulating Muslim Marriage: A Shift to Citizens’ Rights-Based Approach  1 Introduction  2 Legal Marriage: Dilemmas and Compromises  3 Sharīʿa-Based Regulations and the Steep Stairways to Legislation  4 Contesting Maṣlaḥa  5 A New Trend: Citizens’ Rights Approach  6 Conclusion 3 Reforming the Bureaucracy of Muslim Marriage  1 Introduction  2 The Indonesian Muslim Marriage Bureaucracy  3 The Re-centralisation of Penghulu  4 Corruption, Informality, and the Need for Reform  5 Muslims’ Attitudes towards the Reform  6 The Information System of Marriage Registration  7 Conclusion Part 2 Legal Practice 4 Presenting Pasuruan: Present-Day Islam and Cultural Life  1 Introduction  2 Historical Context  3 Cultural, Religious and Political Life  4 Social Life in Sumbersari  5 Conclusion 5 Performing Marriage: The Influences of Cultural and Islamic Norms  1 Introduction  2 Presenting Munir-Ulfa  3 Pengarep and Cultural Norms  4 Kyai: Seeking Religious ‘Middle Ground’  5 Menghalalkan: Marrying to Legalise Relationship  6 Conclusion 6 Registering Marriage: The Relationship between Penghulus and Modins  1 Introduction  2 Marriage Registration and the State-in-Society Approach  3 Building an Internal Synergy  4 Registering Marriages and Remarriages  5 Twofold Akad Nikah and Taʾkīd al-Nikāḥ  6 Conclusion 7 Legalising Unregistered Marriage: Reasons and Strategies  1 Introduction  2 Why Legalising an Unregistered Marriage?  3 Legal Identity and Citizens’ Rights  4 Administrative Transgression in Marriage Registration  5 Isbat Nikah by Islamic Courts  6 Child Legitimation  7 Conclusion 8 Conclusion  1 Regulating Muslim Marriage and Public Debates  2 Corruption, Informality, and the Reformed Fees  3 Present-Day Cultural Life in Pasuruan  4 Everyday Practice of Marriage and the Functioning of the Bureaucracy of Marriage  5 Unregistered Marriages and Seeking State Recognition Glossary Bibliography Index
