Marriage in Islam requires husbands to fulfill wives’ maintenance, both material and non-material. Modern developments have led to commuter marriage phenomenon where couples must live separately due to work demands. This poses challenges in fulfilling maintenance obligations, especially in Sawangan Village, Doro Subdistrict, where many husbands work outside the city. This research aims to analyze practices and efforts of fulfilling wives’ maintenance in commuter marriage couples from an Islamic law perspective. This research uses field research method with snowball sampling technique. Primary data was obtained from in-depth interviews with four commuter marriage couples and field observations, while secondary data from scientific works. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis uses descriptive method with inductive reasoning. The results show that wives’ maintenance fulfillment practices comply with Islamic law. Mandatory material maintenance (food, clothing, shelter, children’s education, health) is fulfilled through routine transfers and direct provision, adjusted to husband’s ability. Non-material maintenance is fulfilled through intensive communication and periodic homecoming, despite limitations excused as emergency conditions (dharurat). Maintenance fulfillment efforts include: husband’s efforts (routine transfers, working harder, periodic homecoming, health insurance), wife’s efforts (voluntary financial contribution, careful financial management, gentle communication), intensive communication, financial planning, and building trust that reflect maqasid syariah implementation.
