Abstract
The growth of Islamic matrimonial system in the present Indonesia was originally formulated in the 19th century of the Netherlands colonialism. There are several discourses among Dutch scholars in establishing an applicable law system, and finally the colonial government enacted a new regulation focused on marriage system. The continuity of this social institution derived from the customary hegemony applied by Dutch. Provoked by several scholars the new constitution in 1854 was approved. In that, the Islamic matrimonial system was assimilated into Adat law and therefore the Islamic marriage system was allowed to be practiced in its own way. Nevertheless, this Islamic matrimonial system was formed as a form of colonial hegemony. Accordingly, this paper is intended to describe the development of marriage system in the Netherlands East Indies, and further descriptions will go to the Islamic matrimonial system and its development, and how it survived until post Indonesian colonialism.
