“…Dating behavior has not only negative impacts on the perpetrators but also contradicts Islamic teachings. Therefore, the hijrah community provides the solution of early marriage to avoid dating, which is prohibited by religion (Ayeshaputri et al, 2022;Nisa, 2021).…”

The proliferation of hijrah groups among youth has had a significant impact, with positive outcomes such as enhanced religious understanding among teenagers and an increase in the adoption of more Islamic attire. However, this has also brought about negative consequences, including the dissemination of radical and textual interpretations, leading to conservatism. This article aims to uncover the controversy surrounding early marriage among Muslim millennials, driven by a tendency towards textual religious understanding. The research employs a qualitative method, drawing primary data from social media platforms of anti-dating millennial communities and online Islamic organizations in Indonesia. Secondary data were sourced from books, journals, and other relevant articles. The research findings indicate that controversy arises from the selection of hadith texts and differing interpretation methods. Anti-dating communities use motivational hadiths to support early marriage, employing a literal textual understanding related to sexual motivation, religious and individual piety, the vision of a happy family, emulation of the Prophet's marriage, and assurance of sustenance from Allah. Conversely, scholars use hadiths to reject early marriages with contextual understanding. The disregard of the youth for the views of scholars opposing early marriage indicates a shift in religious authority among Muslim millennials from traditional figures to influencers popular on social media. Early marriage reflects the hybridization of the religious identity of Muslim millennials, maintaining religious values while remaining trendy and cool. The re-reading of hadiths is conducted by examining the social-historical context and contemporary circumstances within the discourse of modernity.

“…As is the case in other parts of the world, social media platforms such as Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, TikTok, and Twitter are immensely popular among young adults in Indonesia (DataReportal, 2022 ). On the one hand, social media have amplified the visibility of discourses promoting Islamic or pious family values (see Smith-Hefner, 2019 ; Nisa, 2021 ). On the other hand, social media also have facilitated emerging discourses on singlehood, childfree, and non-heteronormative lifestyles.…”

As a predominantly Muslim and ethnically diverse new democracy in Asia, Indonesia is a timely case to study how the contending forces of development and social change are reflected in changing norms and practices around family formation. This paper examines the extent to which the second demographic transition (SDT) theory can provide a primary framework to understand contemporary patterns of fertility, marriage and family change in Indonesia. Against the backdrop of socio-political change following Reformasi in 1998, we found emerging demographic features typically associated with societies in later stages of fertility transition. These include fertility below replacement in some regions; increasing age at first marriage, non-marriage, and divorce rates; and growing diversity in household/family forms. As the vast regions of Indonesia is economically, culturally, and demographically heterogeneous, these key features of SDT are not likely to emerge and unfold in a uniform manner. Further, these demographic shifts are taking place amidst multiple tensions and contradictions in the nature and direction of ideational change pertaining to marriage and the family. We argue that the prevailing ideational change driving the shifts in marriage, fertility, and the family within Indonesia is neither unilinear nor singular in nature. Emerging ideational change embodying individualism, secularism, and post-materialism—originally proposed in SDT theory to be the primary drivers of fertility decline in post-industrial Western Europe—can overlap with popular values promoting de-secularization and the strengthening of familial institutions. As a demographic framework, the SDT theory is an important and useful starting point. But it needs to be reevaluated by considering the complex socio-political and increasingly precarious economic terrains behind fertility transition, as well as marriage and family change in post-Reformasi Indonesia.

“…As in the walagara procession, starting from introducing couples, proposals to determining the actual date, it is like the Islamic tradition in the marriage process. Such as introducing the identity of the two partners to get to know each other, in Islam it is called ta'aruf (meaning to know each other) (Nisa, 2021). Proposals are also taught in Islam where this procession is the same as the Tengger tradition, which also determines the date of marriage.…”

Dialogue between local culture and Islam is the main feature of peripheral Indonesian Islam. In rural sociology, a clash will occur when the two go hand in hand in social interaction. The Tenggerese people in East Java, as rural residents, face the dilemma of clashing customs and religion through traditional marriages. This article seeks to answer how the traditional wedding ritual procession as a local identity also applies to the Muslim minority in Tengger, and how the two (custom and religion) negotiate both so that a balanced meeting point is reached. Using a qualitative approach and case study methods, data collection was done by interview and observation. The results that they have compromised by finding common ground, including the meeting of principles and essence between adat and religion, the transition from endogamy to exogamy, and the division of roles during the traditional wedding procession. This article provides a novelty that the meeting of the two resulted in a new color in religious moderation in Indonesia that is not found elsewhere and with a different pattern as the distinctive identity of the Tengger rural community.
