The court ratified the applicants' Islamic marriage of 17 August 1981, and ordered them to register their marriage with the Office of Religious Affairs, pursuant to art 2(2) of Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage.

This statute defines and regulates the institution of marriage in Indonesia.

The applicant (30 years) had been with her fiance (27 years) for five months, and both their parents were aware of their relationship. The applicant's fiance's initial marriage proposal to the applicant, however, had been forbidden by the applicant's father (and marriage guardian) because the applicant's fiance was from the neighbouring village, which the local Javanese culture deemed incompatible.

Despite the applicant's pleas to her father to allow her to marry her fiance, the applicant's father had remained steadfast in his convictions. Seeing no legal justification in her father's refusal, the applicant sought a stipulation from the court permitting her to marry her fiance on the following grounds:

1. that the applicant was prepared and ready to become a wife, as was her fiance to become a husband, as well as already being gainfully employed;
2. that nothing under Islamic law or any current legislative instrument precluded the applicant and her fiance from marrying; and
3. that the applicant was concerned that if she and her fiance were not permitted to marry, they would contravene Islamic legal provisions (read: become physically intimate).

The court acceded to the applicant's wishes, agreeing with the applicant that none of the reasons the applicant's father proffered in forbidding the marriage accorded with any of the reasons contained in arts 8-10 of Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage, in conjunction with arts 39-44 of the Compilation of Islamic Laws.

The applicant had submitted a marriage ratification request to the court, dated 8 January 2010. The request stated that she and M. Yusuf bin Jafar (deceased, 29 December 2009) were married in accordance with Islamic shari'a on 10 June 1949, with her older brother Muhammad Yunas acting as her marriage guardian. The marriage was witnessed by two other persons, the names of whom the applicant could not recall. The applicant's dowry was IDR 40.

The applicant required a marriage ratification certificate in order to access her deceased husband's pension, life insurance, and widow's pension. The marriage had never been registered pursuant to current legal provisions. The applicant and her husband, however, had seven children, all of whom were now adults. Moreover, they had never divorced and no one had ever had any objections to their marriage.

In acceding to the applicant's request, the court cited arts 7(2) and (3)(d) of the Compilation of Islamic Laws, which granted it powers to solemnise a marriage, as well as one that preceded the enactment of Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage. The Court also cited the rule of fiqh contained in Kitab Tuhfah Jilid IV, which mandates the recognition of the marriage of a woman who is of age and sound mind ('aqil baligh).
