Abstract

Social status, cultural pressures, and economic stratification often drive the high value of marriage dowries. This study analyzes the social and cultural influences on dowry practices in Indonesia, India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. It formulates a reconstruction of the determination of dowry grounded in the principles of fairness and justice. This study is normative-empirical, using a qualitative approach with a multilayered comparative approach, both in social, cultural, and legal aspects of dowry determination, which is then analyzed using the IRAC (Issue, Rule, Argument, and Conclusion) method. The results of the study show that although dowry in Islamic law functions as a theological right of the wife and financial protection, in practice, dowry is often influenced by socio-economic and cultural factors, making it a symbol of social status, a burdensome cultural pressure, and even a source of dowry-based violence. This study also identifies significant challenges in law enforcement regarding dowry, despite regulations governing it. Therefore, it is necessary to reconstruct the determination of dowry by prioritizing the principles of fairness, distributive justice, and integration between legal regulations and human values to prevent harmful dowry practices. This will create a legal system that is responsive to social dynamics, protects women's rights, and ensures justice for both parties in marriage, free from irrational social and cultural pressures.

Abstract

This study examines how Islamic leadership shapes organizational culture and influences academic performance at Muhammadiyah Universities, taking Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (UMY), Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD), and Universitas Siber Muhammadiyah (Sibermu) as research subjects. Using a qualitative approach, this study explores the life experiences of lecturers in interpreting values, leadership practices, and relational dynamics that develop in the institutional environment. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and review of institutional documents at the three universities. The findings show that Islamic leadership is understood not only as structural authority but also as a moral example that strengthens work ethic, trust, collaboration, and professionalism oriented towards da'wah. This leadership pattern shapes an organizational culture rooted in Muhammadiyah's reformist values such as wasaṭiyyah, intellectual integrity, and social responsibility, which collectively encourage collaboration, academic productivity, and commitment to community empowerment, including in the context of digital education at Sibermu. However, this study also identifies several challenges, such as communication gaps between managerial and academic units, inconsistencies in the implementation of values, and the need for stronger alignment between Islamic idealism and the process of development.
