Abstract

Arranged marriage remains a resilient tradition among Indonesian kiai (religious leaders) to preserve lineage and religious values through the concepts of kafa’ah and ijbar. However, this practice is often criticized for potentially restricting individual autonomy. This study aims to analyze the arranged marriage practices within the leaders' families of Raudlatussholihin Pesantren, Majalengka, through the framework of Muḥammad Ṭāhir Ibn ‘Āsyūr’s Maqāṣid al-‘Ā’ilah (family objectives). This research employs a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through deep interviews with the pesantren’s founding family and field observations, then analyzed using the Maqasid-oriented derivation method. The findings demonstrate that arranged marriages at Raudlatussholihin are fundamentally aligned with the three core dimensions of Maqāṣid al-‘Ā’ilah: strengthening marital bonds (’ashirah al-nikah), preserving lineage (’ashirah al-nasab), and expanding social kinship (’ashirah al-shihar). Crucially, the study reveals that the universal principle of freedom (al-Ḥurriyyah) is deeply internalized within these practices. Contrary to the stereotype of rigid compulsion, the tradition exhibits significant flexibility, allowing for individual consent and autonomy. This reactualization of Ibn ‘Āsyūr’s theory proves that traditional family preservation and modern individual rights are not mutually exclusive. The study concludes that arranged marriage in this context functions as a strategic mechanism for social stability rather than a tool of domestic restriction
