Sadd al-dharīʿahis amethod to establish the prohibition of certain actions due to their potential of incurring an action with greater harm (mafsadah). This qualitative library study employs the descriptiveanalytical method. The Indonesian Marriage Law and KHI are the primary sources, whereas secondary data come from, among others, texts on maqāṣid al-sharī'ah, uṣūl fiqh, and fiqh. Content analysis is used to make inferences by highlighting themes methodically and objectively. The findings show that both the Marriage Law and KHI, which serve as the main referencesfor Religious Court judges and as positive laws forall Muslim Indonesian citizens, have indirectly adopted sadd al-dharīʿah.This can be seen in clauses related tocurrent marriage issues, such asrestrictions on age of marriage and consentfor polygamy.en-USSadd al-Dharīah, Islamic Family Law, usul fiqhArticle206215121
