Marriage records (''Surat kawin Muslim'') contain the names of the bride and groom, date of the marriage. They may also include the birth dates and places of the couple and the names of their parents. These records are particularly valuable prior to Indonesian independence in 1945. Records can be found at local offices of Islamic affairs. | Marriage records (''Surat kawin Muslim'') contain the names of the bride and groom, date of the marriage.
