Abstract

This study examines the tradition of pitih balanjo, in which a prospective groom provides a monetary gift to his prospective bride during the courtship period in Minangkabau society, and evaluates its compliance with Islamic law. This tradition has long been an integral part of the social system and is regarded as a symbol of a man’s sincerity in proposing marriage. The value of pitih balanjo is determined not by the amount given but by the giver’s sincerity. The study employs a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach, including interviews, participant observation, and documentation, to gain an in-depth understanding of the practice and its socially constructed meanings. Findings indicate that the community views pitih balanjo as a symbolic bond between prospective partners, preventing others from proposing to the woman after the gift is given. However, the traditional sanction requiring the gift to be returned double in case of a canceled engagement contradicts the Islamic principle of voluntary gifts (hibah), which cannot be withdrawn except in specific contexts, such as by a father to his child. The study concludes that the giving of pitih balanjo is permissible as long as it complies with Sharia, while the traditional sanction mechanism warrants reconsideration.

Abstract

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh diterbitkannya Peraturan Bupati Pasaman Barat Nomor 47 Tahun 2022 tentang Penataan Wilayah Kejorongan di Nagari Limau Purut. Dalam kebijakan tersebut, wilayah Nagari Limau Purut yang semula terdiri dari satu kejorongan, dipecah menjadi tiga kejorongan. Namun, hingga saat ini, kejorongan baru yang terbentuk belum memiliki kepala jorong yang definitif. Kondisi ini berdampak pada kurang optimalnya pelayanan publik kepada masyarakat di wilayah kejorongan baru tersebut. Akibatnya, masyarakat belum sepenuhnya merasakan pelayanan pemerintahan yang efektif dan merata, sebagaimana yang diharapkan dari penataan wilayah tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana implementasi dari Peraturan Bupati Pasaman Barat Nomor 47 Tahun 2022 Tentang Penataan Wilayah Kejorongan di Nagari Limau Purut dan bagaimana implementasi dari Peraturan Bupati ini jika ditinjau dari perspektif fiqih siyasah tanfidziyyah. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif yang dilakukan di Nagari Limau Purut, Kecamatan Kinali, Kabupaten Pasaman Barat. Dengan menggunakan metode wawancara dan dokumentasi. Sumber data primer dari penelitian ini adalah Badan Musyawarah (Bamus), PJ Wali Nagari Limau Purut, Masyarakat Nagari Limau Purut, sedangkan untuk sumber data sekundernya adalah sumber-sumber yang telah ada dalam bentuk dokumen berupa undang-undang, buku, skripsi terdahulu, jurnal dan artikel yang relevan untuk dibahas. Dalam menganalisis data, penulis menggunakan metode kualitatif dan metode deskriptif. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah : Pertama, implementasi Peraturan Bupati Pasaman Barat Nomor 47 Tahun 2022 belum berjalan secara optimal. Hal ini disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor, antara lain belum terlaksananya pelayanan publik secara maksimal karena belum adanya kepala jorong di kejorongan yang baru dibentuk, keterbatasan sarana dan prasarana penunjang, serta minimnya komunikasi antara pemerintah dan masyarakat. Akibatnya, masyarakat belum mengetahui secara menyeluruh keberadaan peraturan tersebut dan belum sepenuhnya merasakan manfaat yang diharapkan dari kebijakan tersebut. Kedua, implementasi Peraturan Bupati Pasaman Barat Nomor 47 Tahun 2022 Tentang Penataan Wilayah Kejorongan di Nagari Limau Purut sudah sejalan dengan  konsep fiqih siyasah tanfidziyyah yakni mengejar kemaslahatan umat dan menolak kemudaratan.

Abstract

The cumulation of marriage legalization and wife-initiated divorce in religious court practice has received attention in various studies, yet studies specifically discussing the application of istihsan bi al-maslahah in judges’ considerations in such cumulative cases remain limited. This study aims to analyze the judges’ legal considerations in Decision of the Maninjau Religious Court Number 115/Pdt.G/2025/PA.Min concerning the cumulation of marriage legalization and wife-initiated divorce from the perspective of istihsan bi al-maslahah. This study used a qualitative approach with a normative juridical and case study design. The main data source was Decision of the Maninjau Religious Court Number 115/Pdt.G/2025/PA.Min, which was purposively selected together with relevant legal documents and literature. The data were collected through documentation and library research, then analyzed descriptively and qualitatively through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the panel of judges granted the petition for marriage legalization and wife-initiated divorce by considering public benefit, the protection of women’s rights, and the prevention of harm resulting from the unclear legal status of an unregistered marriage. These considerations reflect the application of istihsan bi al-maslahah through an orientation toward substantive justice, rather than merely the application of administrative formalities. This study contributes to the development of Islamic legal studies, particularly ushul fiqh and Islamic family law, and expands understanding of the practice of judicial ijtihad within the Religious Courts in Indonesia. Its implications include the theoretical strengthening of the concept of maqasid al-syari‘ah and the provision of practical considerations for religious courts in resolving contemporary Islamic family cases.
