In substantially, SEMA can reveal the problems that’s the individual rights of the Indonesian people about attendance, protection and recognition of the determination of the legal status of a person, but on the other hand SEMA has implications for the existence of Law Number 1 of 1974 which still has a rule and reference in implementation of marriage in Indonesia.
