This can be seen from data obtained from all Religious Affairs Offices (KUA) in Langsa City, namely KUA Langsa Barat, Langsa Kota, Langsa Lama, and Langsa Timur, almost all of which show a decrease in the number of marriages from year to year. The only area that did not experience a significant decline was KUA Langsa Baro. This phenomenon is thought to be related to the increasing number of couples postponing marriage due to various obstacles, especially economic factors. This study aims to determine the factors causing marriage delays and to analyze the impact of fluctuations in the number of marriages that occur in Langsa City. Through a qualitative approach with a type of field research method. The data in this study used primary, secondary and tertiary data from the research location of Langsa City. From this study, two things are known. First, that the postponement of marriage in Langsa City is caused by several factors such as high gold prices, wedding necessities that increase following gold prices, an unstable economy, dowry levels that are not reduced, traditional wedding costs, to the prestige that exists in society to make the wedding look big and luxurious. Second, In addition, this study also found the fact that the increase in gold prices did not fully impact marriage according to a comparison of the five KUA in Langsa City. From the statements of the KUA Langsa Baro, Langsa City and East Langsa, it is known that the increase did not impact marriage. However, from the data on the number of marriages in the three KUA, only KUA Langsa Baro increased.</p> Juliadi Juliadi Syawaluddin Ismail Zainal Muttaqin Copyright (c) 2025 Juliadi Juliadi, Syawaluddin Ismail, Zainal Muttaqin https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-10-23 2025-10-23 2 2 1 16 http://journal.iainlangsa.ac.id/index.php/ajil/article/view/12500 <p><em>Ideally, e</em><em>lectronic mediation serves as an innovation to accelerate dispute resolution in Religious Courts, reduce litigation costs, and expand access to justice. In reality, however, its implementation still faces various challenges, including technical barriers, legal uncertainties, and socio-cultural resistance. In Aceh, limited infrastructure and reluctance to accept non–face-to-face mediation become major obstacles. In contrast, Religious Courts in Medan show higher levels of acceptance, although technical limitations and human resource constraints remain significant issues.This study aims to compare the implementation of electronic mediation in the Religious Courts of Aceh and Medan from the perspective of Islamic law, based on the Supreme Court Regulation (PERMA) No. 3 of 2022. The research applies a library-based qualitative method by analyzing legal frameworks, scholarly works, and previous studies. The findings indicate that electronic mediation aligns with the Islamic principle of ishlah (reconciliation), provided it upholds syura (consultation), justice, and public benefit. Strengthening technical regulations, mediator capacity, and digital literacy are essential for its optimization.</em></p> Muhammad Alvan Maulana Fata Muhammad Firdaus Anizar Anizar Fakhurrazi Fakhurrazi Copyright (c) 2026 Muhammad Alvan Maulana Fata, Muhammad Firdaus, Anizar Anizar, Fakhurrazi Fakhurrazi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2026-01-14 2026-01-14 2 2 17 35
