Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has expanded access to online gambling, generating complex social problems that extend beyond individual behavior and increasingly affect household stability. This study aims to analyze the factors underlying community involvement in online gambling and examine its effects on marital harmony in Kembang Paseban Village, Batanghari Regency, from the perspectives of Islamic law and Indonesian positive law. A qualitative case study design was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation involving community members engaged in or affected by online gambling, including married couples, community leaders, and village officials. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The study was conducted from June 2025 to May 2026, covering proposal development, data collection, data analysis, and report preparation. The findings indicate that involvement in online gambling is associated with economic pressure, easy access to smartphones and the internet, social-environmental influences, psychological factors, and limited understanding of religious and moral values. Online gambling undermines marital harmony through economic instability, debt accumulation, stress, emotional instability, deteriorating communication, loss of trust, family conflict, neglect of household responsibilities, and, in some cases, divorce. From the perspective of Islamic law, online gambling constitutes maisir, which is prohibited because of its potential to undermine wealth, intellect, and family continuity. These findings demonstrate that online gambling is a multidimensional problem that weakens household resilience and marital harmony. The study highlights the importance of strengthening family supervision, religious and moral education, digital literacy, community participation, and government policies aimed at preventing online gambling. It further contributes to Islamic family law scholarship by clarifying the social and familial consequences of online gambling within the context of Islamic and Indonesian legal perspectives.

Abstract

The determination of mahar by customary institutions remains significant because customary norms may intersect with the rights and autonomy of prospective spouses as well as the principles of Islamic family law. This study aims to analyze the customary determination of mahar in Batang Masumai District, Merangin Regency, and assess its conformity with Islamic law. The study employed a qualitative approach with an empirical legal research design. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving customary leaders (ninik mamak), religious officers, KUA marriage officials, prospective married couples, and Islamic scholars. The findings indicate that customary institutions prescribe one mayam of gold (3.3 grams) for a bride who has never been married and 0.5 mayam of gold for a widow, based on considerations of equality, social balance, and customary continuity. However, several marriages did not comply with these provisions because of jurisdictional differences, limited knowledge of customary rules, or deliberate deviations associated with considerations of prestige and honor. The findings demonstrate that customary determination of mahar may function as a mechanism for maintaining social harmony and equality when its application is voluntary, fair, proportional, and consistent with Islamic legal principles. The study concludes that customary regulation of mahar should not undermine the rights and autonomy of prospective spouses. Accordingly, customary institutions should strengthen socialization and coordination with the KUA to ensure greater consistency between customary practices and Islamic family law. This study contributes to Islamic family law scholarship by clarifying the conditions under which customary mahar arrangements can coexist with Islamic legal principles while preserving individual marital rights.

Abstract

The sale and purchase of land subject to inheritance disputes remains a persistent legal issue in Padang Kelapo Village, Batanghari Regency, particularly when inherited property is transferred before formal inheritance distribution and without the consent of all heirs. Such transactions may generate uncertainty regarding ownership status and contribute to conflicts among family members. This study aims to analyze the practice of selling disputed inherited land, identify the factors underlying such transactions, examine their consequences, and assess their legality from the perspectives of positive law and Islamic law. The study employed a qualitative approach with an empirical juridical perspective. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation and were analyzed descriptively through data classification and interpretation. The findings indicate that disputed inherited land is generally sold by one heir before the inheritance has been legally distributed. The principal factors underlying this practice include urgent economic needs, limited legal knowledge and awareness, and customary community practices of conducting land transactions privately. These practices result in inheritance disputes, uncertainty of ownership, and deterioration of family relationships. From the perspective of positive law, such transactions are not legally justified when ownership remains unresolved and the consent of all entitled heirs has not been obtained. From the perspective of Islamic law, the practice is likewise impermissible because it involves gharar (uncertainty), conflicts with the principle of justice (‘adl), and violates the principle of property protection (ḥifẓ al-māl). The study concludes that the lawful transfer of inherited land requires prior completion of inheritance distribution and the consent of all heirs. These findings contribute to the understanding of inheritance-related land transactions from both positive and Islamic legal perspectives and imply the need to strengthen legal education, ensure proper inheritance settlement procedures, and enhance supervision by village authorities and community leaders.
