Abstract

Religious conservatism among urban Muslim youth in Indonesia has become an important phenomenon in the development of Islam in Indonesia. In the context of marriage law, this phenomenon is marked by the emergence of Muslim romance among urban Muslim youth with the young marriage movement. This paper examines the phenomenon of the Muslim romance movement in the digital space, focusing on content analysis of messages uploaded by the Instagram account @gerakannikahmuda. This paper shows that, unlike the early 2000s young marriage movement campaigns using print media, which tended to ignore marriage administration, the digital space campaigns view marriage procedures and administration as important. The @gerakannikahmuda account uses legal regulations and policies regarding marriage administration procedures as a medium to campaign for the young marriage movement. Drawing on Migdal's state-in-society concept, which emphasizes the state's presence within society, this article argues that the use of marriage administration to campaign for the young marriage movement demonstrates the presence of state law within society, even when society holds ideas that oppose state regulations.
