Abstract

This study aims to examine how the phenomenon of political hoaxes in the post-truth era occurs and what impact it has on the religious life and political direction of the Muslim community. This research departs from the phenomenon of political hoaxes that are getting stronger, especially when approaching election contestation. This condition is reinforced by the post-truth era where the truth is no longer urgent and trusted because the many hoaxes circulating make hoaxes like the truth. This research is a literature study explaining the phenomenon of political hoaxes in the post-truth era with an Islamic political sociology approach, data obtained from literature related to hoax politics, the post-truth era and analyzed in depth. The findings of this study are: First, the phenomenon of political hoaxes is carried out massively and repeatedly, especially before political events, Second, the reinforcing factors of political hoaxes in Muslim societies are caused by identity politics and low digital political literacy that are spread repeatedly. Third, political hoaxes can trigger inter-religious conflicts including intolerance and radicalism, disrupt religious life, and increase polarization and distrust of political institutions, as well as distrust of the media. Fourth, overcoming the impact of political hoaxes can be done by taking an Islamic political approach in society, namely by always telling the truth and bertabayyun against news and increasing digital literacy and the role of religious authorities.

Abstract

The childfree phenomenon has triggered critical debates in contemporary Islamic family law and human rights discourses. This study examines the primary narrative constructions of childfree individuals as understood by young academics at State Islamic Higher Education Institutions in Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative approach, employing interviews and focus group discussions with 17 doctoral students from diverse academic backgrounds. Two theoretical frameworks were used: Halverson's Main Narrative Theory was employed to identify primary and alternative narratives in the formation of social meaning related to the childfree phenomenon. Maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, as the objectives of Islamic law, is used to examine the religious dimension in the formation of contemporary Islamic family law. The research results revealed three narrative configurations. First, the narrative of individual piety, which views children as a divine trust and part of the maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, specifically ḥifẓ al-naṣl (protection of lineage), perceives childless households as contrary to natural values and the objectives of marriage. Second, the narrative of human rights emphasises bodily autonomy and reproductive freedom for couples in accordance with international principles. Third, the integrative narrative arises from reflective academics who strive to balance individual piety with the principle of public benefit through a contextual approach to tanzīm al-nasl (family planning). This study contributes to Islamic family law policy in Indonesia by promoting more inclusive regulatory formulations and serves as a foundation for religious institutions and policymakers to develop contextual policies addressing contemporary issues.

Abstract

The increase in the minimum age of marriage through Law No. 16 of 2019 represents a landmark reform in Islamic family law in Indonesia. However, the high number of marriage dispensation cases suggests that this statutory change has not automatically resulted in effective child protection. This article argues that preventing child marriage depends less on legislative reform and more on the discretionary practices of religious bureaucrats at the street level. Employing a socio-legal approach and a mixed-methods design, the study integrates a Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) survey, field observations, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions conducted at four Offices of Religious Affairs (KUA) in the Special Region of Yogyakarta and Central Java. The findings reveal a pattern of normative ambivalence in defining maturity—between the legal age threshold and the fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) concepts of ʿāqil (intellect) and bāligh (puberty)—reflecting a broader configuration of legal pluralism among state law, fiqh, and local norms. Nevertheless, most KUA officials demonstrate a substantive commitment to child protection through practices of adaptive discretion, normative mediation, and legal counseling in their roles as street-level bureaucrats. This article advances legal pluralism theory by demonstrating that normative negotiation occurs not only in society but also within state bureaucratic institutions, where Islamic family law is actively produced and operationalized as law in action. Ultimately, child protection in a plural legal order hinges on how institutional discretion is governed, embedded in, and negotiated through shifting configurations of authority among the state, religious actors, and local communities. [Kenaikan batas usia minimum perkawinan melalui Undang-Undang No. 16 Tahun 2019 merupakan tonggak penting dalam reformasi hukum keluarga Islam di Indonesia. Namun, tingginya jumlah permohonan dispensasi kawin menunjukkan bahwa perubahan normatif tersebut belum secara otomatis bertransformasi menjadi perlindungan anak yang efektif. Artikel ini berargumentasi bahwa pencegahan perkawinan anak lebih ditentukan oleh praktik diskresi birokrasi keagamaan di tingkat garis depan dibandingkan oleh reformasi legislasi semata. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan sosio-legal dan desain metode campuran, penelitian ini mengintegrasikan survei Pengetahuan, Sikap, dan Praktik (KAP), observasi lapangan, wawancara mendalam, serta diskusi kelompok terfokus yang dilaksanakan di empat Kantor Urusan Agama (KUA) di Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta dan Jawa Tengah. Temuan penelitian mengungkap pola ambivalensi normatif dalam memaknai kedewasaan—antara ambang batas usia legal dan konsep fikih tentang ʿāqil (kemampuan intelektual) dan bāligh (pubertas)—yang merefleksikan konfigurasi pluralisme hukum antara hukum negara, fikih, dan norma sosial lokal. Meskipun demikian, sebagian besar pejabat KUA menunjukkan komitmen substantif terhadap perlindungan anak melalui praktik diskresi adaptif, mediasi normatif, dan konseling hukum dalam perannya sebagai birokrat tingkat jalanan. Artikel ini memperluas teori pluralisme hukum dengan menunjukkan bahwa negosiasi normatif tidak hanya berlangsung di ranah sosial, tetapi juga di dalam institusi birokrasi negara, tempat hukum keluarga Islam secara aktif diproduksi dan dioperasionalkan sebagai hukum dalam praktik. Pada akhirnya, efektivitas perlindungan anak dalam tatanan hukum plural sangat bergantung pada bagaimana diskresi institusional diatur, ditanamkan, dan dinegosiasikan dalam konfigurasi otoritas yang terus berubah antara negara, aktor keagamaan, dan komunitas lokal.]
