ABSTRACT: Different religious marriages we often encounter during
society especially among the affluent and celebrities. This kind of
marriage has been done by Muslim men married to non-Muslim
women or otherwise Muslim women married to non-Muslim men.
Sometimes in response we only follow the understanding of some
people who greatly glorify freedom in all fields (Liberal), although it is
in terms of a very private as well as religion. In a liberal sense the
beliefs of religious differences in marriage are not a problem.
Liberalism is a notion that requires the freedom of individuals in all
fields. This study is intended to analyze the legal basis of inter-
religious marriage or mixed marriage in Indonesia. This study
highlighted and found that inter-religious marriage is become
complicate problem when trying to determine some basic rights,
including the property, child, and the others.
