capability, halal causa, and the existence of a cause. Therefore, if a marriage is carried out with a
falsified identity, the marriage violates the provisions in Article 1320 of the Civil Code.
The annulment of marriage, according to Soedaryo Soimin, is an act of court decision
stating that the marriage is invalid; as a result, the marriage is considered never to have existed
(ALAM & REVISA, 2022). Marriage annulment can also be carried out because the marriage that
is held does not fulfill the conditions of marriage; besides that, it can also be done because, in
marriage, there is an element of fraud in the identity of the husband or wife (Anam, 2017). For
this false identity, the marriage can be canceled by requesting an annulment application to the
Court so that with a court decision, the marriage is declared to have never existed or never been
carried out (Purwadi & Daromi, 2019).
The annulment of marriage is regulated in the Marriage Law Article 27 paragraph (2) and
also the Compilation of Islamic Law in Article 71, which states that a marriage that is entered into
based on fraud or misrepresentation regarding the data of the husband or wife can be annulled.
A case of marriage annulment due to falsification of identity occurred in Jambi, where the legal
wife annulled her husband's marriage by submitting a marriage annulment application to the
Sengeti Religious Court. The legal wife (hereinafter referred to as Mrs. A) filed an application for
annulment of her husband's marriage (hereinafter referred to as Mr. P) with a woman
(hereinafter referred to as Mrs. D) and from the marriage of Mr. P and Mrs. D there was 1 (one)
child, it was known that Mr. P had committed fraud on Mrs. D by claiming to be a virgin and Mr.
P married Mrs. D while still being the husband of Mrs. A. In the case, it was stated that the
marriage between Mr. P and Mrs. D was annulled due to identity fraud. In this case, it was stated
that the marriage between Mr. P and Mrs. D violated the terms and principles of marriage,
namely falsifying identity and marrying a second time without the permission of Mrs. A. Upon
the annulment of the marriage, there will be legal consequences both relating to Mr. P, Mrs. D,
and the child who was born. Therefore, this research will examine the legal consequences of the
annulment of marriage based on the Marriage Law and the Compilation of Islamic Law.
Based on the background described above, the objective of this research is to conduct an
in-depth analysis of the legal consequences of marriage annulment due to identity falsification,
from the perspective of both the Marriage Law and the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI). This
research also aims to identify how legal provisions are applied in similar cases and their impact
on the parties involved, including the husband, wife, and child born from the marriage. The
benefits of this research include contributing to the development of legal studies on marriage
annulment, particularly concerning identity falsification. Furthermore, this research is expected
to serve as a reference for legal practitioners, judges, notaries, and the public in understanding
the legal aspects of marriage annulment, thereby raising legal awareness and encouraging the
conduct of marriages in accordance with applicable laws. This research also provides
recommendations for strengthening legal regulations to prevent identity falsification in
marriages in the future.
