Abstract

Tunisia is a country in North Africa with a Muslim majority population that underwent significant reforms in family law after independence in 1956 through the passage of the Code du Statute Personnel (CSP). The reform is known to be progressive because it promotes gender equality and the protection of women's rights, while remaining grounded in Islamic values. Previous studies have focused more on normative aspects or described Tunisia as a model for family law reform in the Islamic world, but there is still limited research that explores the characteristics of this reform in a socio-political context, especially after the 2011 Revolution. This study uses a literature review method with a descriptive-qualitative approach to analyze regulations related to marriage, divorce, marital rights and obligations, and inheritance in Tunisian family law. The results of the study show that the reform of family law in Tunisia is marked by a balance between the principles of modernity and religious tradition, which is reflected in egalitarian policies towards women and restrictions on discriminatory practices in the family. These findings affirm Tunisia's position as a pioneer of Islamic family law reform with a distinctive model, while revealing the dynamics and challenges that arose in its implementation after the 2011 Revolution. This research provides an academic contribution in the form of a critical analysis of the Tunisian experience which can be an important reference for the development of Islamic family law in other Muslim countries.

Abstract

The phenomenon of Early marriage remains a critical social issue in Blangkejeren District, Gayo Lues Regency, with significant implications for the fulfilment of children’s rights within the family. Despite the existence of a comprehensive legal framework, particularly Law Number 35 of 2014 on Child Protection, its implementation at the family level among early-married couples remains ineffective. This study examines the fulfilment of children’s rights in families practising early marriage and identifies the legal and socio-familial factors hindering its realisation. Employing a juridical-empirical approach with a qualitative descriptive design, the research integrates normative legal analysis with empirical data collected through in-depth interviews with early-married families, community leaders, and relevant institutions. The findings reveal a clear gap between legal norms and social practice, as children’s rights related to caregiving, education, and health are inadequately fulfilled. These conditions are driven by parents’ economic and psychological unpreparedness, limited legal awareness, and weak institutional support. The study highlights the need to strengthen child protection law implementation through structured premarital education, young family empowerment, and enhanced institutional oversight.
