What are the views of these two sources and the location of the similarities or similarities of Islamic law and the law on interfaith customary marriages. The result of this research is that in Islamic law it is not allowed because of a new breakthrough in faith. Therefore, inter-religious marriages, for various reasons such as better than allowing cohabitation. There is also the opinion that this may have been her match and is a human right. This reason cannot be accounted for, both in Islamic law and in state law, because in law, marriage will be said to be valid according to the law of each religion, it is said to be valid, because marriage will be accounted for before Allah SWT as a creator who has worked with all His perfection. Abstrak. Perkawinan yang akan membawa ketenangan lahiriyah dan bathiniyah itu, harus sama keyakinan agamanya, tidak boleh berbeda agama, sesuai dengan Firman Allah Surat Al-Baqarah : 221 dan di dorong dengan Undang-undang Nomor 1 Tahun 1974 Tentang Perkawinan, dengan jenis penelitian kualititif yaitu menelusuri terhadap pelaku terjadinya perkawinan beda agama dan dihubungkan dengan buku-buku yang terkait, jurnal, skripsi, artikel tidak lupa Al-Qur’an dan sunnah yang sesuai dengan tema ini. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah ingin mengetahui secara mendalam tentang pernikahan beda adat beda agama menurut hukum Islam dan menurut Undang-Undang Perkawinan. Bagaimana pandangan dari dua sumber tersebut serta letak perbedaan atau persamaan dari hukum Islam dan Undang-undang mengenai perkawinan adat beda agama. Hasil dari penelitian ini bahwa dalam hukum Islam tidak diperbolehkan karena menyangkut perbedaan iman. Oleh sebab itu, perkawinan antar penganut agama, dengan berbagai macam alasannya seperti lebih baik dari pada membiarkan kumpul kebo. Ada juga beranggapan bahwa ini mungkin sudah jodohnya dan merupakan hak asasi manusia. Alasan tersebut tidak dapat dipertanggungjawabkan, baik secara hukum Islam maupun hukum negara, karena dalam undang-undang pun perkawinan akan dikatakan sah apabila menurut hukum masing-masing agama nya dikatakan sah, karena perkawinan akan dipertanggungjawabkan dihadapan Allah SWT sebagai pencipta yang telah mengatur kehidupan dengan segala kesempurnaan-Nya.

Article 1 of the Marriage Law, Marriage is a physical and spiritual bond between a man and a woman as husband and wife with the aim of forming a happy and eternal family or household based on Almighty God. In the definition of marriage, we also see an element of bonding between a man and a woman as husband and wife. For this reason, husband and wife need to help and complement each other so that each can develop his personality to help and achieve spiritual and material well-being. In inbreeding has been carried out for a long time by people in certain areas who still have blood relations. Where this is done over and over again becomes a habit and then the marriage becomes a culture for a certain area. From the foregoing, it can be seen that inbreeding exists in Indigenous communities where Customary Law applies and Islamic societies that apply Islamic law. After the enactment of the Marriage Law No.1 of 1974 concerning marriage, marriages made with relatives or inbreeding have been restricted and even prohibited in the Marriage Law but if this is violated and occurs, the marriage can be canceled.
