<![CDATA[Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis implikasi hukum pengabaian handhanah orang tua terhadap anak-anak di Panti Asuhan Aisyiyah Nagari Kamang Hilia, Kecamatan Kamang Magek, Kabupaten Agam. Handhanah merupakan kewajiban syariah yang menuntut orang tua tetap memberikan perawatan, pemenuhan kebutuhan, dan perhatian meskipun anak berada di lembaga sosial. Namun, praktik di lapangan menunjukkan sebagian orang tua cenderung mengabaikan tanggung jawab tersebut, yang berdampak pada pemenuhan hak anak secara fisik dan emosional. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi lapangan melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya kesenjangan antara norma dan praktik, di mana perlindungan anak telah diatur dalam UU No. 35 Tahun 2014 dan prinsip hukum Islam, tetapi implementasinya masih lemah akibat terbatasnya pengawasan, minimnya pelaporan, dan keterbatasan sumber daya di panti asuhan. Pengabaian handhanah tidak hanya memengaruhi tumbuh kembang anak, tetapi juga memiliki implikasi hukum baik secara pidana maupun perdata. Oleh karena itu, penguatan regulasi, mekanisme rujukan, sosialisasi hukum, dan kolaborasi lintas sektor diperlukan untuk memastikan perlindungan anak dilaksanakan sesuai ketentuan hukum dan prinsip syariah.
This study aims to analyze the legal implications of parents neglecting their handhanah obligations toward children at the Aisyiyah Orphanage in Nagari Kamang Hilia, Kamang Magek District, Agam Regency. Handhanah is a Sharia obligation requiring parents to provide care, sustenance, and attention even when children are placed in social institutions. However, field practices show that some parents tend to neglect this responsibility, affecting the fulfillment of children’s rights both physically and emotionally. This study employs a qualitative method with a field approach through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results indicate a gap between norms and practice, as child protection has been regulated under Law No. 35 of 2014 and Islamic legal principles, yet implementation remains weak due to limited supervision, lack of reporting, and constrained resources in orphanages. Neglect of handhanah not only impacts children’s growth and development but also has legal consequences both criminally and civilly. Therefore, strengthening regulations, referral mechanisms, legal socialization, and cross-sector collaboration is necessary to ensure child protection is carried out in accordance with legal mandates and Sharia principles..]]>
