This study discusses legal issues related to the status of children born from marriage that are not recorded at the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) as described in case Number 15/Pdt.P/2024/PA. Sdn in the Religious Court. This problem can be seen in the gap between the legality of religious marriage and the administrative legality of the state, which has an impact on the ambiguity of the nasab and the protection of children's civil rights. The rights of children that should be guaranteed by the state such as the right to name and identity, the right to obtain a birth certificate, the right to support from the father, the right to inherit, and the right to guardianship are not optimally protected. This study aims to find out the legal considerations of the panel of judges in determining the origin of children in the case and analyze the views of Islamic law regarding the status of children due to unrecorded marriages. This study uses a qualitative method with a normative juridical approach and field research, with primary data sources in the form of copies of court documents and interviews with judges, as well as secondary data from Islamic legal literature and laws and regulations. The results of the study showed that the judge considered evidence such as DNA test results, identity documents, and witness statements as the basis for determining the child to be a legitimate child, based on Article 43 paragraph (1) of Law No. 1 of 1974 and Constitutional Court Decision No. 46/PUU-VIII/2010. In the perspective of Islamic law, the child still has a nasab to his father because the marriage is religiously valid, and in his consideration, the judge is in line with the values of sharia maqashid, especially hifz al-nasl (protection of offspring), hifz al-nafs (protection of life), hifz al-'ird (protection of honor), hifz al-mal (protection of property) and hifz al-din (protection of religion). This research recommendation emphasizes the importance of marriage registration in KUA as a form of legal protection for children's rights and efforts to realize legal certainty for families.
