Abstract

Current trends highlight the ongoing discussion regarding the most effective parenting styles for educating children and shaping their character. In Indonesia, “VOC Parenting” is a parenting style that has recently been widely discussed on social media, causing the term to go viral. So what is the view of child protection law and fiqh hadhanah regarding this phenomenon? In academic terms, “VOC parenting” is known as authoritarian parenting; according to Law No. 35 of 2014, this parenting style potentially violates children's rights—such as the rights to freedom, protection, and education—because it is inherently one-sided, with parents directing their children in a coercive manner that allows for no compromise. However, if this type of parenting involves providing guidance based on positive values, then under this law, it is considered equivalent to 'nurturing' or 'developmental guidance'. According to Fiqh Hadhanah, this authoritarian parenting style is needed. However, authoritarian parenting applies to certain problems and is permissible under certain rules. This parenting style can be used in the context of ta'dib (teaching) for the good of the child in this world and the hereafter. As long as it does not cause any form of violence in the context of persecution.
