<![CDATA[The childfree phenomenon has increasingly emerged as part of changing family values in contemporary society, particularly among younger generations who are beginning to reinterpret marriage, reproduction, and family life. The decision not to have children is no longer viewed merely as a biological issue, but is also influenced by economic factors, mental health conditions, family relationship experiences, and changing perceptions of quality of life. In the context of Muslim society in Indonesia, this phenomenon has become a subject of debate because it is closely related to religious values, culture, and the objectives of marriage in Islamic family law. This study aims to analyze the perspectives of women’s Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), namely LSM Damar and PKBI Lampung, regarding the childfree phenomenon within the perspective of Islamic family law. This research employs a qualitative approach using a case study method through in-depth interviews and documentation. The findings reveal that LSM Damar and PKBI Lampung perceive childfree as a social phenomenon that should be understood contextually rather than merely as a deviation from family values. LSM Damar emphasizes gender justice and women’s reproductive rights, while PKBI Lampung focuses more on psychological readiness, reproductive health, and family responsibility. From the perspective of Islamic family law, the childfree phenomenon is related to the concepts of hifz al-nasl, family welfare (maslahah), and the importance of mutual consultation in reproductive decision-making within marriage.]]>
