The purpose of this study is to examine the requirements of Gontor cadres. The bride and groom couple for the entire cadres who want to marry should be selected by the director of Gontor (kyai). The cadre could not marry his girl/boy if the kyai did not grant permission.  However, the prohibition of this marriage has been contradicted with fiqh munakahat and the compilation of Islamic laws. Nevertheless, the phenomenon of marriage requirements has been run for many years since Gontor Islamic Boarding School was donated to maintain the existence of Islamic Boarding School. The present problems to be investigated are how to determine the terms of marriage for cadres and these conditions in the perspective of kafÄ’ah? This research uses empirical research with a qualitative approach. Data was collected using interview techniques and the Gontor’s Website. Meanwhile, the KafÄ’ah concept was gleaned from a variety of sources. The findings of this study are as follows: first, the willingness to obey their decisions until death in the form of being obedient to the leader (kyai), working 24 hours a day, and being ready to be assigned in any place according to kyai's orders is required for all cadres of Gontor to marry. Second, the concept of kafÄ’ah can be justified by a candidate for a cadres' wife, namely the equivalence of the potential husband's vision and mission to the wife. This equivalence is a means of realizing benefits as self-endowments in Modern Islamic boarding school (PM) Gontor Ponorogo, East Java.
