The ratification of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the New Criminal Code (KUHP) marks a fundamental shift in Indonesia's family law policy, where unauthorized polygamy and unregistered marriage (nikah siri) are now threatened with criminal sanctions. This study aims to analyze the juridical implications of Articles 402-405 of the New Criminal Code and to harmonize the normative tension between positive law and Islamic law. This research employs normative legal research with statutory, comparative, and conceptual approaches. The findings indicate that this criminalization is a manifestation of State Activism, transforming administrative marriage violations from the private to the public sphere to protect the rights of women and children (victimological perspective). From the Maqashid Sharia perspective, the obligation to register marriages enforced by criminal threats aligns with the principles of Hifz al-Nasl (preservation of lineage) and Hifz al-Mal (preservation of property), thereby shifting the status of unregistered marriage from permissible (mubah) to prohibited for the sake of public interest (Maslahah Mursalah). The study concludes that criminalization must be applied restrictively by distinguishing between perpetrators with bad faith who intend to commit status fraud, and communities with limited access. Therefore, rigid implementing regulations are required to prevent these articles from becoming instruments of over-criminalization against vulnerable groups.
