Abstract: In Islamic law marrying in the iddah period is haram. Likewise, the marriage law number 1 of 1974
stipulates a period of iddah for women. However, the implementation of the iddah in the community is still
not running as the rules, especially “iddah cerai mati”. This article examines the implementation of “iddah
cerai mati” in rural communities, namely in Pakuniran District, Probolinggo Regency. Pakuniran district
consists of 17 villages. This study took three informants from each village. Data collection techniques are
observation and interview. The results showed that the majority of women were married during the iddah
period. They married a week, two weeks, a month after her husband died. The factor that causes not to
implement "iddah cerai mati" is the ignorance, poverty, and habits. Poverty can be said as a trigger in doing
"iddah cerai mati". Therefore, according to the researcher, poverty can decrease the period of ‘iddah. In the
future, there must be more research on the implementation of the iddah in the community because iddah is a
fundamental Islamic marriage law.
1 INTRODUCTION
The phenomenon of irregularities in Islamic family
law in society is widespread. Among others,
irregularities in marriage, namely sirri marriage
(Aziz, 2018), which is married not recorded at the
Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) (Arsal, 2012);
irregularities in divorce, namely divorce outside the
Religious Court (Saputra, 2012); domestic violence
(Harahap, 2006). These irregularities can be known
readily because there are shreds of evidence and
there are institutions that take care of them.
However, deviations in the iddah are demanding to
know, because iddah is an individual's
responsibility. There is no institution in charge of
recording the iddah, let alone the “iddah cerai mati”.
Study of the iddah revolves around the following
themes. First, iddah is considered to be
discriminatory towards women, because only
women are obliged to be iddah, while men are not
obliged, therefore there needs to be a new
interpretation of iddah (Azis, 2010). Second, how is
the implementation of iddah for career women who
have to leave home to work? In this case, the career
woman who is carrying out the iddah may go out of
the house to work, but must still maintain herself in
association and communication with men.
(Muttaqin, 2014). Third, the concept of Iddah
according to the Shafi'i school, that the iddah begins
in the holy period, not during menstruation (Salam,
2017).
The absence of divorce in rural communities has
not received the attention of researchers. In rural
communities, women who die of their husbands do
not carry out the iddah as they should. They have
remarried within a week, twenty-five days or a
month after the death of her husband where it should
carry out the iddah. It is a waiting period, not
allowed to marry for four months ten days or
approximately 130 days. Ironically, this kind of
practice occurs in a Muslim-majority society.
This article examines women who do not carry
out “iddah cerai mati” in Pakuniran District,
Probolinggo Regency. The majority of the
population in Pakuniran District, Probolinggo
Regency are Moslems, even Probolinggo Regency is
nicknamed as the city of “santri” ("Daftar julukan
Kota di Indonesia," 2018). Such a city has many
pesantren, namely educational institutions that teach
Islam with specific characteristics. However, despite
being nicknamed the city of santri, the law of iddah
is not carried out by the majority of the community

in one of its sub-districts, namely Pakuniran sub-
district.
This article describes the factors and motivations
for not implementing the “iddah cerai mati” in the
Pakuniran sub-district community where the
population is predominantly Muslim. What is the
opinion of Islamic community leaders regarding the
violation of the law of iddah that occurred in their
area? The purpose of this study is to be able to map
the problem of implementing iddah in the
community. On the other hand, by knowing the
problem of implementing iddah, it is also possible to
know the right solution to be able to carry out the
iddah properly.
2 LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 “Iddah Cerai mati” in Islamic Law
and Law No. 1 of 1974
According to Islamic law, Iddah is a waiting period
for a wife who is separated from her husband, either
because of divorce or because of death. In the
waiting period, a woman is prohibited from
accepting a proposal to marry a man, is prohibited
from holding a marriage contract, even prohibited
from preening (Mathlub, 2005; Hasan 2006; Ayyub,
2005). Prohibited from leaving home, except in very
urgent circumstances, such as work (Somad, 2010;
Ghozali, 2012; Ringkasan Fikih, n.d.).
The purpose of the iddah is to respect marriage,
that is, if marriage is not easy to break, there is a
waiting time to think about its continuity. Therefore,
after divorce, one cannot immediately remarry.
Besides that, it is also to ensure that the wife is not
pregnant. According to the 'ulama, the iddah is the
area of ‘ta'abbudi’ or worship (Wahbah Az-Zuhaili,
n.d.). Therefore, only women are obliged to be
iddah, while men are not obliged (Mayasari, 2016).
Even though in this day and age, iddah is
reinterpreted. Based on the wisdom, so that the
husband is obliged to be iddah. Because in the view
of contemporary Islamic law, 'iddah is a matter of
ethics, not pure worship (Rohman, 2013).
The law of “iddah cerai mati” is divided into
two, namely "iddah cerai mati" in a state of a
pregnant and non-pregnant wife.
First, the law of "iddah cerai mati" if the wife is
not pregnant. According to Surat Al-Baqarah (2):
234 iddah for a wife who has “iddah cerai mati” and
is not pregnant is four months and ten days. During
the iddah period, a wife may not marry or even be
allowed to be married. She also had to carry out
"ahead," which meant that she was not allowed to
leave the house, not to be preening, not to act that
could attract the attention of men.
Second, “Iddah cerai mati” in a pregnant wife's
condition. Based on QS. At-Thalaq: 4, the woman
who is pregnant 'the iddah is to give birth. For
women who are pregnant as well as their husbands
die, there are differences of opinion among scholars.
First, the iddah is to give birth and second, to choose
a longer one. That is, whichever is longer, between
“iddah cerai mati” and iddah pregnant.
2.2 “Iddah Cerai mati” According to
Marriage Law No.1 in 1974
"Iddah Cerai mati" according to Law No. 1 of 1974
article 11 paragraph (2) is 130 days. There is no
difference in the provisions of the iddah between
Islamic law and the marriage law in Indonesia. Both
are on the mandatory legal status and the time
provisions (Zuhaili, 2011; Asmin, 1986). Thus, it
can be concluded that iddah has a strong position
both in Islamic law and in legislation in Indonesia.
2.3 Alimony During ‘Iddah ‘Cerai
Mati’
Alimony or giving the basic need for a wife is an
obligation of a husband (Al-Jazr, 2003; Sabiq,
2008). Alimony means to give a basic need to wife,
which includes food, drinking, clothing, medicine,
shelter, services, etc. according to reasonableness.
Ulama agree with these obligations (Al Jauziyyah
,
1432 ; Sabiq, 2008). This obligation is based
on Q.S.4;(34)” Men are in charge of women by
[right of] what Allah has given one over the other
and what they spend [for maintenance] from their
wealth”, dan Q.S,65(7)” Let a man of wealth spend
from his wealth, and he whose provision is restricted
- let him spend from what Allah has given him.
Allah does not charge a soul except [according to]
what He has given it. Allah will bring about, after
hardship, ease”. And Q.S. 2(233) “Upon the father is
the mothers' provision and their clothing according
to what is acceptable”.
In addition, the hadith also explains the
obligation of the husband to provide a basic need for
his wife. Among these hadiths are "It is narrated that
a friend who asked the Prophet Muhammad," what
is the right of the wife to the husband? The Prophet
Muhammad replied, "You feed, and when you eat,
you clothe when you are dressed, do not hit her face,
do not vilify her and don't snap except inside the
house" (Al-Jazr, 2003; Sabiq, 2008). Based on the
ICRI 2018 - International Conference Recent Innovation
1630
verses and hadith, we can conclude that the husband
is obliged to provide a basic need for his wife. This
obligation can fall in the condition that the wife does
not obey her husband (nusyuz) (Al-Jazr, 2003;
Sabiq, 2008), or the wife let it go (Sabiq, 2008;
  Mahmud Syaltut and Sayis,
Muhammad Ali ,  1986 ).
The obligation to provide a basic need is
stopped when the husband dead (Sabiq, 2008;
Zuhaily, 1985). Ulama agree with the wife is obliged
to carry out iddah four months and ten days, and the
wife does not have a right to ask a basic need. The
argument put forward is that with death, the
marriage bond is broken. With the breakup of a
marriage, there is no obligation for the husband. If
the husband has inheritance, the heirs are entitled to
the inheritance. The wife is one of the heirs. The
primary need of the wife whose husband has died is
from the inheritance part. Whereas when the
husband does not leave the property, the basic need
of a wife is her responsibility. Heirs have no
obligation to replace the obligations of a dies
husband (’Aqlah, 2015).
‘‘Ulama of the mazhab agreed on these
provisions except Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal. It is
reported that Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal argued that if
the wife who was left dead by the husband was
pregnant, then the husband was obliged to give a
basic need for his wife until she gives birth.
Likewise, the child who is still in the womb is the
heir who gets a part of the assets of his/her dead
father. Therefore, the basic need of baby's womb is
taken from the inheritance part (’Aqlah, 2015).
2.4 Shelter's Wife During Iddah ‘Cerai
mati'
The husband must provide a shelter for the wife
as long as the husband lives based on Q. S.[65]:6,
“Lodge them [in a section] of where you dwell out
of your means and do not harm them in order to
oppress them”. However, when the husband dies, the
obligation falls. The assets of the dead people turn to
their heirs. However, Imam Abu Hanifah believes
that if the house occupied by the husband is a house
owned by a husband, not rented, or rented but has
been paid for, then the wife can stay in the house
until the end of her iddah period.
However, if on the contrary, the house is rented
but not paid yet, then the wife does not have the
right to live in that house. Because the wife does not
have a right for that house rented. Whereas the
husband's assets have been transferred to the right of
the heirs based on the dead of her husband and the
marriage relationship has been broken due to death.
The opinion of Imam Abu Hanifah is based on the
hadith of the Prophet Muhammad, "that the basic
need and residence of the wife is the duty of the
husband if the husband has the right of ruju’”. Imam
Malik agreed with Imam Abu Hanifah by giving an
additional, if the husband had had sex with his wife.
If the husband has not had sex with his wife, then
the wife may not stay in the husband's house. Imam
Syafi'i and Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal also had the
same opinion among other opinions (’Aqlah, 2015;
Sabiq, 2008).
2.5 Childcare (anah) During ‘Iddah
‘Cerai mati'
Childcare is maintaining, fulfilling their needs,
loving and educating them, so that they can grow
and develop optimally both physically,
psychologically, and intellectually, without any
obstacles in the family environment. As Ibn
Qudamah said "care and parenting for children are
mandatory because children will perish without care.
Care is a kinship of children and guardianship right”.
Parenting is the mandate of Allah SWT to both
parents in this world.
The most entitled to take care of children is the
mother, because of the mutual closeness of mother
and child, more than anyone else (’Aqlah, 2015).
The cost of parenting when his father died was to his
grandfather if the grandfather was still alive. If no
one cares the child, then the mother must pay for the
child’s care. According to Imam Abu Hanifah, it is
not permissible to take children's assets obtained
from his father's inheritance for the cost of care.
Because the property will be needed by the child in
his/her adult period (’Aqlah, 2015).
2.6 Alimony During ‘Iddah Cerai Mati
According to the Law in Indonesia
The place of residence of the wife during the Iddah
cerai mati according to the Compilation of Islamic
Law in Indonesia (KHI) is the duty of the husband.
As stated in KHI article 81, "A residence is a proper
place of residence for a wife during a marriage bond,
or Iddah for divorce or Iddah cerai mati" (Kompilasi
Hukum Islam (KHI), n.d.).
The article is in line with the mazhab of Syafi'i
which requires giving a place to live but does not
provide alimony (Sabiq, 2008; Zuhaily, 1985).
However, according to Mahmd Syaltut, the
provision of a place of residence is inseparable with
Alimony, because both are basic needs even though
Married in “Iddah Cerai Mati" from the Perspective of Islamic Law and Marriage Law
1631
they are only called one of them, then the others are
automatically included in that definition. ( 
 Mahmud Syaltut and Sayis, Muhammad
Ali ,  6198 ). Based on Syaltut's
opinion, both the residence and the alimony of the
wife during Iddah cerai mati are the obligation of the
husband. Thus, it means taken from the husband's
inheritance, before being inherited.
When compared rationally between the views of
fiqh which do not give residence rights and alimony
to the wife left dead by the husband based on KHI in
Indonesia that gives the right to residence, it seems
more human what is stipulated in KHI. A wife
whose husband has died is indeed experiencing
psychological loss and shock. Moreover, added to
the loss of residence and income when in the period
of iddah, according to the provisions of fiqh. When
Syaltut discussed the alimony and residence of his
wife in the period of ‘Iddah cerai bain, where there
were differences of opinion among the mazhab, he
chose an opinion that gave the place of residence
rights and alimony with humanitarian arguments. He
refers to QS. Al-Baqarah {2}:237, “and do not
forget the service (good relations) among you".
Therefore, the provisions of KHI that provide a
place to stay, during the period of Iddah cerai mati
are in line with QS. Al-Baqarah {2}: 237, that is
giving respect to the wife for her services in her
marriage and maintaining good relations. Giving a
place of residence, based on Syaltut's view, can be
extended by giving aalimony. Whereas if the
husband does not have a place to live, then the wife
still has to implement ‘iddah. The cost of her life is
her responsibility or her guardian (’Aqlah, 2015).
2.7 The Obligation of Mourning
(Idd) in the ‘iddah period
Women in the period of Iddah cerai mati must
be idd, namely staying at home both day and
night, may not be decorated and may not
communicate with men, not muhrim. It is to show
respect for her late husband and family. However,
according to the author of the Fiqh Sunnah, if the
woman should be to bear the costs of her life, and
she needs to go out to work, then the provision must
stay in the house to be fall. Sabiq stated, staying at
home is worship. While the worship is fall due to the
presence of uzur or difficulty (Sabiq, 2008), thus,
women who work may leave the house to work.
Whereas idād in KHI is referred to in article 70,
namely the wife left by the dead husband, is obliged
to mourn during the iddah period to show
condolences for the death of her husband and to
safeguard the occurrence of slander (Kompilasi
Hukum Islam (KHI), n.d.). In the article, it is not
stated how to mourn, whether to stay at home as
discussed in jurisprudence or be sufficiently
condolent, as is customary in Indonesia.
3 METHOD
The type of research is empirical research conducted
by doing observation in the field to obtain the data
directly. Empirical research focuses on data taken
from informants (“Metode Penelitian Kualitatif,”
n.d.). This research is conducted directly where the
object lives in order to obtain data related to the
discussion of this research. Then, the objects to
research are women who do not carry out the "iddah
cerai mati," the person who married off the woman
in the period of iddah and Islamic religious leaders
in Pakuniran Subdistrict.
Viewed by the type of analyzing, this research
includes the group of description research. In this
case, research will explain and figure the
phenomenon that contains factors of not carry out
“iddah cerai mati” in Pakuniran district.
The research location is Pakuniran District,
Probolinggo Regency. Pakuniran Subdistrict is
located in the southeast of Probolinggo District, the
area of Pakuniran Subdistrict is 114.26 Km2,
Pakuniran District consists of 17 Villages. Pakuniran
District is chosen as research location because it has
a kind of tradition of women not carrying out “iddah
cerai mati” which is the object of this research.
Primary data is obtained directly from the source
then observed and recorded for the first time. It is
obtained by doing an interview directly without a
mediator to the informants. Data in this research is
obtained from seventeen women who did not carry
out "iddah cerai mati," seventeen "takmir musola"
who married off women and seventeen Islamic
religious leaders in Pakuniran District. From each
village, three informants were taken.
Analyzing data uses descriptive qualitative
analysis. In this step, all problems will be explained
and finished so that that reader will get
comprehension about the systematic process of
analysis. The researcher attempts to describe and
analyze it through the perspective of Islamic Law
and Indonesia marriage law, Number 1/1974. The
last step of processing data is the conclusion. This
step is conducted by taking important points yielded
from elaborating and discussing data.

4 RESULT
4.1 The Socio-Cultural Conditions of
the Pakuniran Sub-District
Community
Geographically, the Pakuniran area is located in the
mountains. In general, the population is migration
from Madura Island. The everyday language used is
Madurese. The majority is Muslim, although there
are also non-Muslims. As a Muslim-majority
society, this does not mean that the majority
understands Islamic teachings. They still believe in
tradition and practice tradition in their daily lives.
Although Muslim, they are terrified of breaking
tradition because there is a belief that violations of
tradition will bring disaster. (As'ari, society leader,
Interview, Ranon village, 13 February 2018)
Educational institutions in Pakuniran sub-district
are still in the kindergarten to the junior high school
level, while the high school level does not yet exist.
It can be said that the majority of education is still
low. It results in the standard of living of the
population, who on average become farm laborers
(Hasan, society leader, Interview, Patemon Kulon
Village, 14 February 2018).
4.2 The Factors Causing the “Iddah
Cerai Mati” Were Not
Implemented in the Pakuniran
Sub-District Community
Seventeen women did not carry out the "iddah cerai
mati" which the researchers interviewed directly.
Seventeen of these women live in villages in
Pakuniran District. They do not carry out the "iddah
cerai mati," immediately get married after her
husband dies. Some married a week after her
husband died, there were two weeks, and one month
after her husband died.
Why did they make a marriage during the iddah
period? Their answers can be grouped into two:
First, they do not understand iddah; they do not
know there is an obligation of iddah. They
immediately married, so that there would be a living,
even though the average income received from the
new husband was only 20 thousand rupiah a day. As
stated by Jum'ati, "neng edisa kanjeh sobung
sepahammah ‘iddah, reng oreng benyak se awam,
akabin pole makle bisa se nyareh agin pesse ontok
nak kanak se asekola." (In this village no one
understands the term 'iddah, many people are
laymen, marriages do not reach the time' iddah so
that there are those who support children who are in
school). (Jum’ati, marriages in the iddah period,
Interview, Ranon Village, 13 February 2018).
Besides not understanding the law of iddah, the
other factor is poverty and no employment. While
the extended family also cannot be used as a
backrest, making them get married soon. Even his
family forced him to marry. As stated by Sittina,
“kauleh tak paham ‘iddah, ben esoro akabin bik
keluarga.” (I do not understand 'iddah, and my
family ask me to get married again) (Sittina,
marriages in the iddah period, Interview, Bucor
Wetan village, 24 February 2018). Marriage is seen
as the only way to support their children and
themselves.
Second, there are those who understand iddah
but do not implement it because of economic needs.
For their children's school, moreover, there are
children in the pesantren. As Sharia said, “kauleh
akabin pole polanah nak kanak kauleh neng e
pondok, sobung se akakanah.” (I did not carry out
'iddah because my child is studying at a pesantren,
needs funds, I have no funds. That is why I got
married). (Syariah, marriages in the idle period,
Interview, Glagah village, 23 February 2018 )
From the direct observations of the researchers,
in general, the condition of women who did not
implement iddah was poor, their education was an
only elementary school. Her husband died in poor
condition and had two or three children. His family
cannot be used as an economic backrest, because he
has his dependents. Therefore, his family also forced
him to get married immediately, because he was
sorry to see the suffering of his children. They attend
the “majlis taklim” in the village but never listen to
the law of iddah.
4.3 The View of Islamic Religious
Leaders in Pakuniran District
against Irregularities “Iddah Cerai
Mati”
As for the views of village leaders on the deviation
of "Iddah cerai mati," the researchers took two
elements. First, Islamic religious leaders who
married off women during the iddah period, namely
“takmir mushola” (namely muadzin and imam for
five daily prayers in a small mosque) and secondly,
Islamic religious leaders who did not marry off
women in the iddah period, namely figures of
Islamic community organizations.
Married in “Iddah Cerai Mati" from the Perspective of Islamic Law and Marriage Law
1633
4.4 The View of Islamic Religious
Leaders “Takmir Musholla”
Religious figures who married women in the iddah
period, which researchers interviewed as many as 17
people. Their position in the community is takmir
musolla. They stated that they married because of
pity. Economically, the woman who was left dead
(Faizah, 2014)is still small; no one can provide a
living. As Mahfud said, takmir musholla of Sagaan
village, "I married because I was asked by her uncle,
who felt sorry for the economic factor". However,
according to the researchers, who came directly to
the field, they married because they got rewards.
The female family gives a reward of 150 thousand to
300 thousand to a married religious figure. They
know the obligations of the iddah but are willing to
marry off women who are still in the period of
iddah.
4.5 The View of Figures of Islamic
Community Organizations
They stated that the Muslim community in
Pakuniran sub-district, in general, only received
education in elementary school, poor, which was the
factor they did not carry out “iddah cerai mati”. As
Habib Zen, a religious leader in the village of Bimo,
said, "that the people here are the majority of lay
people, do not understand iddah. It has become a
habit of the people not to carry out “iddah cerai
mati”. As a religious leader, I cannot ban, because
marriage is an individual right ". Likewise,
according to Ghanam, Islamic religious leaders from
the village of Gunggangan Kidul, "people here do
not understand iddah, carrying out marriage secretly,
is not celebrated. We cannot rebuke carelessly,
because it can be a dispute."
5 DISCUSSION
The factors that caused the 'iddah cer, ai mati' not to
be carried out were several things. Namely, not
understanding the law of iddah, ignoring the law of
iddah and poverty. Even though Pakuniran people
are mostly Muslim, but they do not understand
Islamic teachings well, especially the law of "iddah
cerai mati". Probably because most preachers were
in the city, paying little attention to the village
community as Pakuniran district. The Pakuniran
district community is located on the mountainside.
The majority of the population work as farmers.
They live in poverty. The average education level of
the population is still elementary school. As a result,
villagers have no understanding of Islamic
teachings. This finding is similar to Arsyad's finding
that public knowledge of the iddah is lacking
(Arsjad and Barakah, 2017).
The villagers' lack of understanding of the iddah
law is also due to the lack of attention and
supervision from officers of the Office of Religious
Affairs (KUA) whose main task is marital affairs.
This finding supports the findings of Ismail's
research that women marry during the iddah period
in Lampung Province. According to Ismail's
research (Ismail and Khotamin, 2017), the factor that
causes women to marry during the iddah period is
the absence of attention and reprimand from
community leaders.
Women's marriage during the iddah period is
also related to siri marriage (i.e., a marriage that is
not recorded at KUA). That was because they
carried out the marriage in a siri. In general, the first
marriage is carried out recorded. However, the
second marriage after a divorce or husband dies is
done in siri. Siri marriage is prohibited in the
marriage law number 1 of 1974, but there are no
sanctions as Faizah (2014) pointed out that there is a
legal dualism of the siri marriage in Indonesia.
The above factors that cause women to marry
during the iddah period, namely misunderstanding,
deliberate ignorance, and poverty cannot be used as
syara 'reasons for not implementing iddah. Because
iddah is an important part of the teachings of Islam
(Kaltsum, 2015)
All respondents, namely women who did not
implement iddah, stated that they did not implement
iddah because they were poor. They married two
weeks or one month after the husband's death even
though she should have carried out 'Iddah cerai mati'
for 130 days. By getting married, someone gives an
Alimony to fulfill their daily needs and their child,
from the husband who is newly married. This
practice is a violation of ‘iddah law. However, when
viewed from the cause, namely poverty, it can
cancel an obligation or at least reduce liabilities.
Because ‘iddah is worship. While one of the great
rules in the field of worship is fall, when there is
uzur' (IslamKotob, n.d., n.d.; ,2010 , ;
2010) Poverty, there are no costs for daily life not
only for themselves but also for their children, they
are uzur. Plus, the environmental condition is far
from the city, which is not the available job for
women. Thus, the violation is caused by uzur. In the
opinion of the author, the existence of uzur can
reduce the old provisions of 'Iddah cerai mati.

6 CONCLUSION
Based on the data above, it can be concluded that the
people of Pakuniran Subdistrict, some do not
understand the iddah and some already understand
the iddah. The "takmir musholla" who acted
married, in general, they understood the existence of
the law of iddah, but they did not pay attention to
this teaching. According to the researcher, the
absence of attention to the iddah, due to not
understanding the teachings of Islam, the absence of
institutions that pay attention to iddah, let alone
punish violations of iddah. Whereas in Islamic law,
all schools require iddah towards women. As for
their acknowledgment that they are sorry for
widows, the poor, no one gives a living, in reality,
this is true. However, poverty which is used as an
excuse to remarry within one week, two weeks or
one month after the death of her husband, cannot be
justified, because both Islamic law and marriage
laws in Indonesia require iddah.
Not carrying out the iddah is a violation of
Islamic marriage law and Marriage Law No.1 Year
1974. The wisdom of the iddah is to maintain the
sanctity of “nasab” and respect the deceased
husband and his family — the reason for being poor,
even though it is following the reality, but according
to Islamic law cannot be justified. However,
according to researchers, poor conditions can
become uzur, which can reduce the period of ‘iddah.
Because ‘iddah is worship, which can decrease or
fall due to uzur.
In the future, there should be more research on
the implementation of iddah in the community.
Moreover, especially how the role of ‘modin,'
religious counselors, the Office of Religious Affairs
and the Religious Courts are towards the
implementation of the iddah in the community.
These institutions are the front guard for the
implementation of the law of Iddah and marriage
law in general in the community.
