Abstract

The hegemony of banning interfaith marriage has always been attached to families of different religions in Indonesia. Interestingly, the existence of a family community is even stronger. This article focuses on answering academic problems, namely what are the arguments for the existence of family communities of different religions; and what is the strategy of family communities of different religions as a form of counter-hegemony of prohibiting interfaith marriage? This article explores the reasons for the interfaith family community, and the strategy of the family community of different religions as a form of counter-hegemoni banning interfaith marriage. We conducted interviews with initiators of different religious family communities, religious leaders, and couples of different religions. Then, the data are analyzed with a social approach and with a theory of hegemony. The results showed that the existence of family communities of different religions is due to the hegemony of prohibiting interfaith marriages, sharing space for experiences, and efforts to find solutions. This community strategy in strengthening families of different religions is through information, education, consultation, and advocacy.
