Abstract

This study analyzes the practice of unregistered polygamous marriages (poligami siri) conducted without the knowledge of the lawful wife, which remains prevalent in Gampong Barueh, Kota Jantho, Aceh Besar. This phenomenon reveals a disparity between legal regulations and social practices, as it contravenes Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage and the Compilation of Islamic Law, both of which require the consent of the first wife and official marriage registration. The research employs a juridico-empirical approach through case and conceptual studies, involving interviews with the village head (Keuchik) as the key informant and two respondents consisting of a married couple. The findings indicate that poligami siri is often conducted secretly, motivated by economic factors and biological needs. From the perspective of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), such marriages are deemed valid as they fulfill the essential elements (arkan) of marriage; however, from a legal standpoint, they lack state recognition, resulting in legal uncertainty, gender discrimination, and child neglect. The practice disregards the Islamic principles of justice (al-‘adl) and responsibility (mas’uliyyah). The study recommends strengthening the supervisory roles of the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) and the Sharia Court (Mahkamah Syar’iyah), implementing collective isbat nikah programs, and enhancing family law literacy through community legal education. It further concludes that greater synergy between Islamic law and national law is essential to ensure that polygamous marriages are not only religiously valid but also legally enforceable to protect the rights of wives and children.

Abstract

Inheritance issues are common in daily life, one of which is the patah titi system, formally referred to as substitute heirs. In Sabang City, Aceh, this concept is still practiced children whose parents die before the inheritance giver are considered ineligible to receive inheritance. This stems from the belief that such children are not specifically mentioned in the Qur’anic inheritance divisions, and thus, do not qualify to inherit from their grandparents. This study aims to explore the concept of patah titi in Sabang society and analyze it through Article 185 of the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) regarding substitute heirs. The research uses an empirical legal approach combined with statutory analysis. Findings show that the patah titi practice remains active in Gampong Kuta Timu, Sabang, despite existing legal provisions on substitute heirs in the KHI. Misunderstanding the meaning of patah titi has created more negative than positive impacts not only in the inheritance process but also in weakening family bonds. In practice, grandchildren affected by patah titi may receive assets through grants, whereas grandchildren recognized as substitute heirs receive assets through inheritance.

Abstract

Hukum keluarga Islam di Indonesia berada di persimpangan antara teks fikih klasik, hukum adat, dan regulasi negara, namun kajian komparatif sistematis antara Kompilasi Hukum Islam (KHI) dengan fikih klasik mazhab Syafi'i masih terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan membandingkan pengaturan hukum keluarga Islam dalam KHI dengan kitab-kitab fikih klasik mazhab Syafi'i yang menjadi rujukan utama masyarakat Muslim Indonesia, serta mengidentifikasi pola pembaruan dan kontribusinya terhadap keadilan gender. Menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan normatif-komparatif, sumber data primer berupa KHI, UU Perkawinan, dan tiga kitab fikih klasik (Minhaj al-Thalibin, Fath al-Mu'in, al-Fiqh al-Islami wa Adillatuhu), yang dianalisis melalui teknik deskriptif-analitik dengan kerangka maqashid syariah. Hasil kajian menunjukkan perbedaan signifikan dalam batas usia perkawinan (19 tahun dalam KHI vs baligh dalam fikih), poligami (syarat izin pengadilan dan persetujuan istri), talak (melalui pengadilan), harta bersama (diakui KHI), dan wasiat wajibah. KHI sebagai ijtihad kolektif mengakomodasi nilai-nilai keadilan gender dan konteks keindonesiaan tanpa meninggalkan prinsip syariat. Temuan ini menegaskan pembaruan hukum keluarga Islam Indonesia bersifat progresif dengan implikasi teoretis terhadap pengembangan fikih kontekstual dan implikasi praktis bagi harmonisasi hukum nasional.

Abstract

The phenomenon of pregnant women marrying outside of wedlock remains prevalent and draws significant attention in Indonesian society, including in Seuneubok Teungoh village. Ideally, the process leading to marriage should follow customary stages and religious recommendations. However, this is often bypassed as marriages are conducted abruptly without preparation from both parties, primarily to conceal disgrace, preserve family reputation, and uphold village dignity. This study aims to analyze community leaders' perspectives on marriages resulting from premarital pregnancy from a gender equality perspective. Employing empirical research with a phenomenological approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and simple documentation. The findings indicate that most community leaders view marriage as the sole solution to cover shame. However, women are more frequently discriminated against, face social stigma, and receive dowries deemed inadequate compared to customary practices, rendering them seemingly devalued for a mistake committed by both parties. It can be concluded that marriages conducted to conceal the shame of premarital pregnancy reinforce gender inequality. Therefore, a paradigm shift and societal system changes are necessary to address similar cases.

Abstract

Domestic violence (DV) is a serious problem that impacts the safety of victims and the social stability of the community. Previous studies on customary institutions in Aceh have mainly highlighted their mediating function and social legitimacy, while critical assessment of the legal force of peace agreements and the actual level of victim protection remains limited. In Karang Baru District, Aceh Tamiang Regency, domestic violence cases are often resolved through customary mechanisms involving the Village Sitting Assembly (MDSK). This study aims to analyze the position and role of MDSK in resolving domestic violence and to critically examine the legal force and problems of the guarantee letters resulting from the deliberations, while assessing the extent to which this mechanism genuinely protects victims rather than merely preserving social harmony. This study uses an empirical juridical research method where applicable legal provisions are linked to the realities that occur in society. The results show that MDSK plays a mediator role by prioritizing a family approach and deliberation. However, the settlements outlined in guarantee letters or peace agreements do not fully satisfy the requirements of a valid agreement, are not equivalent to an authentic deed, and cannot halt criminal proceedings, so that they do not have legally binding legal force and are not accompanied by clear sanctions. As a result, protection for victims of domestic violence is not optimal and there is the potential for recurrence of violence. The novelty of this study lies in integrating a socio-legal analysis of the customary institution's role with a normative assessment of the validity and binding force of the peace agreement, an angle that has received limited attention in prior research. This study contributes to the development of legal pluralism, restorative justice, and victim protection studies, and provides a basis for policy formulation. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen legal regulations, standards for drafting agreements, and synergy between customary institutions and positive law so that deliberation-based resolutions not only maintain social harmony but also guarantee justice and legal protection for victims.

Abstract

The result of study indicate that Arab Islamic Family Law has undergone significant changes, especially since the establishment of the kingdom of Sa’ud Ibn Muhammad Ibnu Mukran. However, challenges still exist in society, public understanding, and critism of sereval provisions that are considered gender biased. Legal reform and contextualization are still needed so that Islamic family law can provide more equitable justice for all Muslims In Saudi Arabia. Local people tend to follow the Imam Hambali and Sunni schools of tought, this is why the are differences in every challenge that occurs in society.the exictence of regulation on marriage provides certainty, maintains sharia so that it is maintained, creates order, and maintains stability in the household. This reflects the existing values that remain in sync with the very strong and diverse Saudi Arabian culture, especially regarding the rights and obligations of men and women in building a household.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the legal considerations of judges in determining post-divorce alimony to wives who are declared nusyuz in the practice of religious justice. In classical Islamic law, nusyuz wives are generally not entitled to alimony, but the reality in Indonesian religious courts shows that there is flexibility in its interpretation and application. This study uses a normative juridical approach with a qualitative descriptive method, based on a study of the Decision of the Banda Aceh Syar'iyah Court Number 215/Pdt.G/2020/MS. Bna. The data was analyzed through a review of laws and regulations, a Compilation of Islamic Law, and fiqh books as the main source of law. The results of the study show that even though the wife is proven to be nusyuz, the judge still determines the maintenance of iddah and mut'ah by considering social factors, such as the economic condition of the wife and the existence of young children. This consideration shows that there is a contextual approach by judges that prioritizes the principles of justice and protection for vulnerable parties. This study concludes that the practice of providing alimony to nusyuz wives can be legally justified if it is based on the principle of benefit. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the law that is adaptive to social dynamics and strengthen regulations that are in line with the sharia maqashid in realizing substantive justice in Indonesian religious courts.

Abstract

Islamic family law in Malaysia and Indonesia has the same sharia basis but differs in its application due to the influence of the legal system, culture, and state policies. This comparison is important to understand the variation of regulations and their implications for Muslim communities in both countries. This study aims to analyze the similarities and differences of Islamic family law in Malaysia and Indonesia, especially in the aspects of marriage, polygamy, and inheritance, and to examine the effectiveness of its implementation. This study uses a normative juridical method with a comparative approach. Primary data sources include the Enakmen of the Melaka State Law Number 12 of 2002, the Selangor State Law Draft, the Islamic Family Law Enakmen Number 17 of 2003 (Malaysia), and Law Number 1 of 1974, Law Number 16 of 2019, and the Compilation of Islamic Law (Indonesia). Data collection techniques were carried out through library research, with data analysis using descriptive analysis and content analysis of applicable legal provisions. Research shows that although Malaysia and Indonesia are both based on sharia, Malaysia tends to be more structured in regulating polygamy and inheritance, while Indonesia is more flexible by considering customary law. Differences are also seen in the authority of the judicial institution, where Malaysia has autonomous Sharia Courts per state, while Indonesia implements a centralized system through the Religious Courts.

Abstract

This paper aims to comprehensively examine Islamic Family Law in Indonesia, focusing on its historical development, legal sources, and core components such as marriage, inheritance, divorce, wills, adoption, and gifts. The method used is a literature review of Islamic legal texts and national regulations, particularly the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) and the Marriage Law. The results show that Islamic Family Law in Indonesia has significantly evolved, especially since the enactment of Law No. 1 of 1974 and the implementation of KHI through Presidential Instruction No. 1 of 1991. Nevertheless, challenges remain in terms of implementation, public understanding, and criticism of certain provisions perceived as gender- biased. Ongoing reform and contextualization are needed to ensure Islamic family law delivers more equitable justice in Indonesia’s pluralistic society.

Abstract

Interfaith marriage in Indonesia has long been a controversial legal issue, particularly following the issuance of Supreme Court Circular Letter (SEMA) No. 02 of 2023, which explicitly prohibits the registration of marriages between individuals of different religions. This policy has raised significant concerns regarding legal certainty and its alignment with substantive justice, especially when examined through the lens of Maqasid al-Sharia. This study aims to analyze the extent of legal certainty governing interfaith marriage under Indonesia’s positive law framework and to assess its conformity with the objectives of Islamic law. Employing a normative juridical method, this research utilizes statutory, conceptual, and doctrinal approaches, drawing upon legislation, Islamic legal doctrines, and relevant academic literature. The findings reveal that, under positive law, interfaith marriage lacks formal legal validity as it contravenes Article 2 paragraph (1) of Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage, a position further reinforced by SEMA No. 02 of 2023 as a binding judicial guideline. From the perspective of Maqasid al-Sharia, the prohibition is consistent with the protection of the five essential objectives of Islamic law (al-daruriyyat al-khams), particularly the preservation of religion (hifz al-din) and lineage (hifz al-nasl). Nevertheless, this study also identifies inconsistencies in the implementation of SEMA No. 02 of 2023 at the practical level, which may undermine legal certainty and result in unequal legal treatment. Therefore, this research recommends the strengthening of legal harmonization through clearer statutory regulation, enhanced inter-institutional coordination, and improved guidance for law enforcement and civil registration authorities to ensure consistent application in accordance with the principles of legal certainty, justice, and social welfare.
