Marriage involving a woman who is pregnant as a result of extramarital sex remains a contested issue in Islamic legal thought and carries important legal and social consequences. This study examines the views of the four Sunni schools of law on the validity of such marriage, analyzes the Indonesian Compilation of Islamic Law, and explores the implications of these legal positions. Using normative legal research and library-based analysis, the study draws on classical fiqh literature, statutory regulations, and contemporary scholarship. The findings show substantial differences among the four schools: some allow the marriage contract without restriction, while others prohibit it until childbirth or require additional conditions. In contrast, the Indonesian Compilation of Islamic Law adopts a pragmatic position by permitting the marriage of a pregnant woman outside wedlock to ensure legal certainty, protect the child’s status, and preserve the woman’s dignity. From the perspective of Islamic legal objectives, the issue is closely related to the protection of lineage and has legal, social, and psychological implications for the mother, child, and family.
