Marriage, Gender and Islam In Indonesia: Women Negotiating Informal Marriage, Divorce and Desire

---

Marriage, Gender and Islam in Indonesia: Women Negotiating Informal Marriage, Divorce and Desire explores how Indonesian Muslim women navigate marriage practices that fall outside formal legal frameworks, including informal or unregistered marriages, divorce, and expressions of intimacy and desire. Through ethnographic and socio-legal analysis, the book reveals women’s agency in negotiating religious norms, social expectations, and legal constraints while seeking security, respectability, and personal fulfillment. By centering women’s lived experiences, the study highlights the complex interplay between gender, Islam, and state regulation, and challenges simplistic portrayals of Muslim women by showing how they actively interpret and reshape marital norms within Indonesia’s contemporary social landscape.
