Since Islam entered Indonesia by way of trade via India, its first contact with the Indonesians was one of a very peaceful kind. Rich Muslim merchants married Indonesian girls of noble descent, and it was then that Islamic marriage law started to operate on the Indonesian soil. The peaceful conversion of the Indonesians to Islam and the tolerant elements of Islam have formed the foundation of an Indonesian Muslim community, in which Islamic law has gained a growing influence and indigenous adat is left undisturbed in so far this is compatible with Islam. Islamic law has succeeded in influencing the family law of adat to such an extent that in matters of marriage Islamic law becomes the principle, while adat is maintained as regards the marriage ceremonies.
