Current matchmaking trends are often facilitated by non-governmental entities, advocating certain ideologies that may contradict the Islamic family law paradigm initiated by the state. The “Samawa Program: Make Me Your Partner” is a matchmaking service undertaken by Surakarta’s Ministry of Religious Affairs. This program emerged in response to limited communication during the COVID-19 pandemic. This article uses a philosophical approach to examine this program’s goals, rules, and strategies and how it aligns with Jeremy Bentham’s legal utilitarianism theory. The article finds that this program is free of charge. It also incorporates marriage guidance practices distinct from marriage counseling practices at the Office of Religious Affairs. The program’s objective is for individuals to receive marriage guidance as a foundation for building a household and to find a soul mate who meets their criteria. Considering seven indicators, the program fully satisfies the intensity, duration, propinquity, and fecundity benefit aspect. However, the program can potentially generate harm regarding the other three elements: certainty, purity, and extent. At this point, the program is deemed worthy of continuation as a facilitation step for finding a suitable partner while obtaining marriage knowledge quickly and credibly.
