Abstract

This article examines the relevance of Muhammad Abduh's thoughts on women's emancipation for addressing Domestic Violence in Indonesia. The study addresses the ongoing issue of gender-biased religious interpretations that legitimize acts of violence within the household, a problem evidenced by more than 10,000 reported cases in 2023. Abduh was chosen due to the significant influence of his reformist ideas—particularly his views on qiwamah—on the development of Islamic family law in Indonesia, largely through the intellectual networks of Al-Azhar University. The objectives of this research are twofold: first, to descriptively analyze Abduh’s concept of qiwamah as articulated in his principal works (Tafsir al-Manar and Risalat al-Tawhid); and second, to evaluate its normative and practical relevance in shaping an Islamic legal framework that opposes domestic violence in the Indonesian context. The study employs a contextual hermeneutic method, supported by comparative analysis between Abduh’s ideas and Indonesian domestic violence legislation. The findings reveal that Abduh offers three central arguments: qiwamah as a moral and protective responsibility rather than a justification for male dominance; the spiritual and ethical equality of men and women; and the necessity of legal reform grounded in the principle of maslahah. These ideas are found to be in harmony with the core values of Indonesia’s Law No. 23 of 2004 on the Elimination of Domestic Violence. The study concludes that Abduh’s reinterpretation provides a strong theological foundation for the prevention of domestic violence in Indonesia, although its practical application remains challenged by conservative interpretations and the ongoing need for contextual adaptation.

Abstract

This study addresses the conceptual tension between classical fiqh and the Indonesian Compilation of Islamic Law (Kompilasi Hukum Islam or KHI) in regulating ta‘lik talak, particularly in relation to the protection of women’s rights and marital justice. It aims to reinterpret ta‘lik talak through a harmonization framework that integrates classical Islamic jurisprudence with contemporary statutory regulation in Indonesia. Employing a normative comparative method, this research is based on a comprehensive literature review of primary legal sources, including the Quran, hadith, classical fiqh texts, and the KHI, supported by relevant secondary legal materials. The findings reveal that classical fiqh conceptualizes ta‘lik talak as a flexible and consensual mechanism grounded in private agreement, whereby divorce takes effect automatically upon the fulfillment of stipulated conditions. In contrast, the KHI institutionalizes ta‘lik talak within a formal legal framework that requires judicial intervention through religious courts to activate its legal consequences, thereby prioritizing women’s legal protection and procedural certainty. The harmonization of these two approaches illustrates the transformation of Islamic family law from a predominantly moral individual paradigm toward a legal formal system, while maintaining the substantive objectives of Shari‘ah in response to Indonesia’s socio legal context. This study contributes to the development of Islamic family law by affirming ta‘lik talak as a dual legal instrument that is both normative religious and statutory, capable of enhancing women’s rights protection, safeguarding marital stability, and operationalizing the principles of maqasid al shari‘ah within Indonesia’s positive legal order.
