Abstract

Childfree marriages are becoming increasingly common among Generation Z and Millennials, indicating changes in social values and lifestyles. The aim of this research is to identify the main components that influence a couple's decision to marry without children and to evaluate the impact from the perspective of Islamic family law. This qualitative study collects data through participant observation and in-depth interviews. Research shows that economics, health, personal freedom, and concern for the environment are the main factors in marriage decisions not to marry. According to Islamic family law, having children is considered an important goal of marriage. However, there is respect for individual freedom to make decisions that do not conflict with sharia principles. Couples who choose not to have children often face social and religious pressure, but their decision can be considered valid if it is based on compelling reasons such as health or other relevant conditions. The social impact of this decision varies, from support to rejection, but shows a shift in values in modern society, which increasingly values individual life choices. This research provides insight into the dynamics of childless marriage and its implications in the Islamic legal and social context.

Abstract

The phenomenon of marriage dispensation following national legal reform has shown a significant increase and raised controversy over the effectiveness of child protection within the framework of Islamic family law. Although Law No. 16 of 2019 established the minimum legal age for marriage as a preventive measure against child marriage, the enforcement of dispensations through Article 7(2) paradoxically creates a legal loophole that contradicts the law’s protective intent. This study focuses on a normative critique of marriage dispensation from the perspective of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, examining to what extent contemporary Islamic family law remains responsive to the principles of ḥifẓ al-nafs (protection of life) and ḥifẓ al-nasl (protection of lineage). The research adopts a qualitative approach based on library research, with data collected from classical and contemporary legal texts, including works on maqāṣid, Islamic jurisprudence, and national legal documents. Content analysis was employed to reduce and categorize the data thematically. The findings reveal that dispensations granted without grounding in substantive maṣlaḥah contradict the foundational principles of maqāṣid and tend to reproduce structural inequalities, particularly against young girls. The study concludes that maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah must be repositioned as an epistemic framework for reformulating Islamic family law to enhance its commitment to justice and child protection. This research underscores the need for ethical and contextual legal reconstruction to avoid legalistic bias that harms vulnerable groups.
