Interfaith marriage held abroad is one of the legal issues that still raises debate in the Indonesian legal system. The difference in regulations between Indonesian law that bases the validity of marriage on religious law and the laws of some countries that recognize civil marriage cause many Indonesian couples to choose to marry abroad. This study aims to analyze the legal arrangements regarding interfaith marriages held abroad and analyze its legality and legal consequences from the perspective of Indonesian International Civil Law. This study uses normative legal research methods with a statutory approach, a conceptual approach, and a case approach. Legal materials are obtained through literature studies consisting of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials, then analyzed qualitatively. The results of the study show that the legality of interfaith marriages held abroad is not only determined by the law of the country where the marriage takes place (lex loci celebrationis), but must also pay attention to Indonesian national law through the principle of lex patriae and the principle of ordre public. Article 56 of Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage recognizes marriages carried out abroad as long as they do not conflict with the provisions of Indonesian law. Therefore, the recognition of interfaith marriages held abroad must consider the balance between respect for foreign law and protection of the basic principles of national law in order to realize legal certainty and protection of the rights of the parties.
