Abstract

In 2019, Indonesia redefined the minimum age limit for marriage with the aim of achieving gender equality and reducing child marriage rates. Unfortunately, this legal reform did not entirely succeed and, instead, created a paradox within Indonesian society. This study aims to investigate the controversy surrounding the minimum age for marriage as stipulated in Indonesian Marriage Laws. The paper employs a socio-legal approach, collecting data through legal material investigation and interviews. The research indicates that the reformation attempt brings about at least three undesired implications: an increase in the number of marriage dispensations, child marriages, and pre-marital pregnancies. These paradoxes appear to be influenced by several factors: (1) the public's minimal awareness of the current marriage law, (2) the lack of socialization from government bodies, and (3) regulatory inconsistency itself. Theoretically, instead of resolving issues within society, it turns out that the legal changes initiated by the state do not significantly trigger changes within society.

Abstract

This study examines the Supreme Court's decision in the premeditated murder case involving Ferdy Sambo, focusing on the reduction of the sentence from the death penalty to life imprisonment. The research aims to identify non-legal factors influencing the verdict, analyze its implications for Indonesia's criminal law paradigm, and evaluate public responses following the cassation decision. A descriptive-analytical approach was employed, utilizing legal document analysis and the post-positivist paradigm as the theoretical framework. The study interprets judicial considerations within a dynamic legal context, integrating legal norms with reflective interpretations. The findings reveal that the sentencing change reflects a shift in Indonesia's criminal law paradigm from retributive to rehabilitative, as adopted in the new Penal Code. The defendant's remorse was a key factor in the sentencing reduction. However, public response to the cassation decision indicated a decline in public trust and engagement with the judiciary, evidenced by reduced public discourse compared to the case's initial stages. The shift from retributive to rehabilitative justice served as the basis for the cassation decision. This study highlights challenges in strengthening public trust in the judicial system, emphasizing the need for greater transparency and accountability in legal decision-making processes.

Abstract

Supervision of market activities and competition in Islam has existed since the time of Prophet Muhammad PBUH and, at the same time, became a duty of an official called a muhtasib (supervisor). Al-Hisbah, as a controller institution for economic activities and market competition, aims to uphold the amar ma'ruf nahi munkar (commanding the good and forbidding the evil). Meanwhile, KPPU, as an independent institution, functions as a controller of the practice of monopolies and unfair business competition in Indonesia under the principle of economic democracy to support national economic development. This research uses the juridical-normative method with a historical and conceptual approach. Having compared the role of KPPU in supervising business competition to al-hisbah institution in Islam, this study finds out that KPPU, in general, is similar to al-hisbah on account that the substance and the values contained in al-hisbah have been embedded in KPPU especially in upholding amar ma'ruf nahi munkar in economic activities and business competition.
