Marriage is a form of agreement that a person binds himself to his partner to make their relationship legal. However, the reality is that in society there are marriages that are not accepted, namely marriages between different religions, which result in obstacles in the implementation of these marriages. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study type of research that occurred in Kediri Regency. Source taken from an informant in an interfaith marriage. Data collection techniques use participatory observation techniques, structured interviews, and documentation. Data analysis starts from data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Meanwhile, checking the validity of the data uses extended observation, increasing persistence, triangulation, negative case analysis, using reference materials, holding member checks. The objectives of this research are (1) To determine the implementation of interfaith marriages in Indonesia. (2) To analyze the factors that become obstacles in carrying out interfaith marriages in Indonesia (3) To explain the government's efforts to guarantee citizens in carrying out interfaith marriages. The results of this research show that firstly, the implementation of marriage as a sacred bond between a man and a woman cannot be separated by nature, but from a legal aspect there must also be a basis as a foundation for building a marriage bond. The second factor that is an obstacle in carrying out interfaith marriages is that people do not fully understand the flow of the interfaith marriage process, especially for prospective brides and grooms who do not understand access to the requirements and flow of interfaith marriages via social media. Third, there is the government's efforts to guarantee that citizens can marry between different religions.
