Abstract :

AbstrakPernikahan antaragama telah banyak diperdebatkan. Beberapa orang mendukung hal tersebut, namun beberapa yang lain menolaknya. Meskipun masih diperdebatkan, pernikahan antaragama terjadi dan kadang-kadang terjadi konversi agama pada beberapa waktu sesudah pernikahan tersebut. Dengan berargumen bahwa persepsi masyarakat memainkan peran yang sangat penting dalam keberhasilan dialog  antaragama,  makalah  ini  bertujuan  untuk  mengungkapkan  persepsi  masyarakat  tentang konversi dari Islam ke Kristen mengikuti pernikahan antaragama. Studi lapangan ini dilakukan di Desa Pakahan, Yogyakarta, selama tiga bulan. Ada sepuluh Muslim Jawa yang diwawancarai selama Februari—April 2012. Tiga dari mereka berasal dari organisasi Muhammadiyah, empat dari Nahdlatul Ulama, dan tiga terakhir adalah Muslim Abangan. Data dari wawancara diperkaya dengan observasi kehidupan  mereka  sehari-hari  selama  penelitian  lapangan.  Hasil  analisis  menunjukkan  bahwa ada  empat  faktor  utama  yang  dapat  mempengaruhi  persepsi  Muslim  di  Desa  Pakahan  terhadap konversi dari Islam ke Kristen setelah pernikahan antaragama, yaitu pemahaman keagamaan yang sering tumpang tindih dengan identitas agama, memori kolektif agama, budaya Jawa yang memiliki konsep harmoni yang sangat kuat, dan pertemuan antaragama yang tidak dapat dipisahkan dari dialog antaragama. Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa hal yang paling penting bagi orang-orang di desa Pakahan adalah bahwa mereka hidup dalam harmoni, apa pun latar belakang agama mereka.Kata kunci: budaya Jawa, dialog agama, harmoni, pernikahan antaragamaAbstractInterfaith marriage has been widely debated. Some people agree with interfaith marriage, but some others reject the idea. Despite the debate, interfaith marriages do happen and religious conversion sometimes follows some time afterward. Maintaining that people’s perception plays a very important role in the success of interfaith dialogue, this paper aims to reveal people’s perception on conversion from Islam to Christianity following interfaith marriage. The fieldwork was conducted in Pakahan Village,  Yogyakarta,  for  three  months.  There  were  ten  Javanese  Muslims  interviewed  during February— April 2012. Three of them are from Muhammadiyah, four belong to Nadlatul Ulama, and the last three are Abangan Muslims. The data from the interview were enriched with our observation to their daily life during the three-month fieldwork. The result of the analysis showed that there are four major factors which may influence Pakahan village Muslims’ perception on conversion from Islam  to  Christianity  following  interfaith  marriage:  religious  understanding  which  often  overlaps with religious identity, the religious collective memory, Javanese culture which has a very strong concept of harmony, and the interfaith encounter which cannot be separated from interfaith dialogue. The study concludes that the most important thing for people in Pakahan village is that they live in harmony, whatever the religious backgrounds.Keywords: harmony, interfaith marriage, Javanese culture, religious dialogue
