This study examines the legal culture dealing with the interaction of religious practices and rituals among interfaith couples in Purwokerto, Central Java, emphasizing the social and legal dynamics influencing family life. In Indonesian society, interfaith marriage presents a complex issue, intersecting between state legal regulations and religious doctrines.

The issuance of Supreme Court Circular (SEMA) Number 2 of 2023 gave impact to the comprehensive legal interpretation and adaptation. This study demonstrates of understanding the interrelation of law, religion, and social practices within Indonesia’s religious pluralism and its implications for the legal acknowledgment and spiritual lives of interfaith couples.
