Abstrak
This study aims to analyze the provisions contained in article 53 of the Compilation of Islamic Law about marriages by pregnancy. The method used was qualitative (normative juridical). 7 Religious Affairs Offices in Tanah Datar Regency were involved in obtaining marriages by pregnancy data. The data collected were analyzed descriptively through the maqasid al-sharia approach. The finding of this study is that marriages by pregnancy continue to occur from year to year and some even increase and it can be ascertained that adultery continues to occur. Meanwhile, one of the main purposes of Islamic law is to maintain the offspring so that marriage is consecrated and adultery is forbidden. There is an assumption as if the main objective of the law which is to give benefit and refuse harm could not be achieved anymore because the existence of article 53 seems to be the cause of marriages by pregnancy
