Abstract

ABSTRACT The validity of a marriage in Indonesia is regulated in Article 2 paragraph (2) of Law Number 1 of 1974 as amended by Law Number 16 of 2019 concerning Marriage. Unrecorded marriages still occur in Nagari Kapa, Luhak Nan Duo District. The type of research is juridically sociological. The data sources used are primary data and secondary data. Data collection techniques are carried out by means of interviews and document studies. The data was analyzed qualitatively. The results of the study on the factors that cause marriage are not recorded in Nagari Kapa, namely age, cost, administration, elopement and polygamy. The impact arising from unregistered marriages in Nagari Kapa is that the marriage is not legally valid, the status of the child does not have a legal bond with his father, cannot claim alimony or inheritance from his father and difficulties in taking care of papers such as family cards, birth certificates, causing vulnerability for women and children, especially in cases of divorce or domestic disputes.
