47 Couples in Pulo Aceh Receive Identity Documents After Marriage Validation
A total of 47 married couples in Pulo Aceh District, Aceh Besar, got new identity documents after attending an Integrated Marriage Validation Hearing on Wednesday (24/6/2026). This event was held by the Jantho Sharia Court together with the Pulo Aceh Religious Affairs Office (KUA) and the Aceh Besar Population and Civil Registration Office (Disdukcapil) to provide legal certainty for couples who were married religiously but hadn’t been registered by the state.
Through the hearing, the panel of judges confirmed the validity of the marriages according to the law, which became the basis for issuing marriage books and updating identity documents like Family Cards. The local KUA handed over the marriage books right away, while Disdukcapil updated the couples’ population data.
Yusnardi, the head of the Jantho Sharia Court, said this integrated marriage validation is an effort to bring court services closer to island communities so that access to legal certainty is easier, quicker, and cheaper. This inter-agency collaboration is seen as important to help residents get the legal documents they need to access public services.
Rahmad Sentosa, head of Disdukcapil Aceh Besar, emphasized his support for the integrated program to improve the order of population administration. The community welcomed it because this service makes it easier to take care of marriage legality without having to travel far to the district center, and it’s hoped to raise awareness about the importance of registering marriages and protecting citizens’ rights.
