Regarding the uploaded photo of the marriage book that was showcased on Rizky and Mahalini's Instagram account, Taslimah did not provide a specific response. However, she emphasized that the couple has submitted a request for marriage validation or itsbat nikah since October 10, 2024.

With this itsbat application, Taslimah concluded that until now, Rizky Febian and Mahalini do not have a marriage certificate or an official marriage book issued by KUA.

"Wallahu A'lam Bishawab, clearly this is their application title. The title is a request for validation, or isbat nikah. That is the type of case,” said Taslimah.

The process of submitting this itsbat nikah, continued Taslimah, aims to ensure that their marriage is legally recognized and acknowledged by the state. “If the reason is that he has married, there are witnesses, there is a marriage event, that’s it. Please, since they want to update their family card and population documents, he requested to have it validated. That’s all that went to court, nothing else,” Taslimah revealed.

2. Hearing on November 4, 2024

The marriage validation hearing for Rizky and Mahalini is scheduled to take place on November 4, 2024. If the court decides to validate their marriage, this couple will take the hearing results to the Religious Affairs Office to obtain an official marriage certificate.

"If the marriage validation is granted, in general terms, not pointing to one, if it is granted, then the marriage is validated. Once validated, the court's decision will be taken to the Religious Affairs Office to create or issue the marriage certificate. The marriage certificate is the marriage book," explained Taslimah.

In addition, during the upcoming validation hearing, Rizky Febian and Mahalini are required to be present for an examination. According to Taslimah, this examination is conducted to ensure that the identities of the applicants match those registered in the application.

"Applicant one and applicant two, is it true that applicant one and applicant two are correct, that's why they need to be examined. Who is applicant one, in the name of Rizky. Who is applicant two in the name of LK Mahalini, will be examined. We're afraid it's not the right person, that's why everyone must be present," emphasized Taslimah.
