Abstract

The age restrictions for first-time voters and the age requirements for electoral candidates in Indonesia have become topics of discussion and debate. One such debate revolves around the Constitutional Court's (MK) Decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023, which allows individuals under 40 years of age to run for president (capres) or vice president (cawapres), as long as they have experience as a regional head. The Supreme Court has also ruled on the minimum age for governor and deputy governor candidates, setting it at 30 years old, as outlined in Decision Number 23 P/HUM/2024. This study aims to analyze the shift in the paradigm regarding age restrictions for first-time voters in the context of Maqashid Syariah. The research employs a normative legal method with a statute approach to examine the paradigm shift in the regulation of age restrictions for voting rights and explores the implications of this shift on electoral justice and the integrity of political leaders, analyzed through the Maqashid Syariah approach. The findings of this study conclude that age restrictions on voting rights need to be relaxed, as age is no longer a determinant of a citizen's maturity in thinking. In Islam, politics is intended to bring about public benefit in line with the objectives of shariah, as the principle states that the actions of a leader towards their people must be based on the common good. The age restrictions need to be re-evaluated, considering the principle that the original legal status of something is its nonexistence, meaning that the original legal basis for age restrictions on voting and candidacy does not exist. Another principle suggests that legal rulings (fatwas) can change due to changes in time, place, conditions, and objectives (intent). Therefore, it is necessary to re-evaluate the paradigm shift in the regulation of age restrictions for first-time voters to ensure fair elections and local elections for both candidates and voters.

Abstract

The issue of a wife leaving her husband or vice versa before an official divorce is a critical topic in Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), raising legal, ethical, and social concerns. This study examines the legal status of such separations through the lens of various schools of thought (madhhab), analyzing spousal rights and obligations in pre-divorce contexts. Employing a qualitative method, it draws from primary Islamic legal sources, as well as contemporary statutory frameworks in Muslim-majority countries. Findings reveal that Islamic law distinguishes between justified and unjustified separation. A wife who separates without valid reason may be deemed nusyuz, which affects her right to nafaqah (maintenance), while a husband remains responsible for financial obligations until the divorce is finalized. Conversely, if separation is due to harm, negligence, or abuse, mechanisms such as fasakh (annulment) or khulu' (divorce initiated by the wife) may be pursued under Islamic principles. These doctrines aim to protect the rights of both parties and prevent injustice in marital relationships. From the perspective of civil law, legal separation is not explicitly codified, but courts may provide temporary arrangements through mediation and judicial orders. Customary law often manages informal separations through community mediation and traditional consensus. In Indonesia, religious courts (peradilan agama) handle pre-divorce separations as part of divorce proceedings, emphasizing mediation and evaluating interim living arrangements, financial duties, and child custody. Beyond legal analysis, the study highlights broader social consequences: women and children are often left vulnerable during informal separations, while unresolved conflicts can fragment social harmony

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan menelaah keterkaitan antara fikih jinayah dan hukum keluarga serta perannya dalam memperkuat perlindungan keluarga dalam konteks sosial kontemporer. Fikih jinayah sebagai cabang hukum pidana Islam tidak hanya mengatur tindak kejahatan, tetapi juga berfungsi menjaga tatanan moral dan sosial masyarakat, termasuk institusi keluarga. Berbagai pelanggaran seperti zina, qadzaf, kekerasan dalam rumah tangga, dan penelantaran keluarga memiliki konsekuensi pidana yang berdampak langsung terhadap keharmonisan keluarga. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif berbasis studi kepustakaan dengan menelaah literatur klasik dan kontemporer terkait fikih jinayah dan hukum keluarga meninjauh pada sanksi ta'zir dalam Fikih Jinayah dengan pasal-pasal pelanggaran kewajiban suami-istri dalam UU Perkawinan/KHI, untuk menemukan bahwa penegakan hukum pidana Islam dalam keluarga berfungsi sebagai upaya preventif (preventive measure) terhadap kehancuran institusi keluarga, serta putusan hakim di Pengadilan Agama yang mengaitkan tindak pidana (KDRT) sebagai alasan kuat fasakh (pembatalan/putus) pernikahan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa fikih jinayah berperan penting dalam melindungi kehormatan, keturunan, dan keselamatan jiwa anggota keluarga melalui penerapan sanksi hudud, qishash, diyat, dan ta’zir. Pendekatan fikih jinayah modern juga menekankan prinsip restoratif yang berlandaskan maqashid syariah, yaitu perlindungan keluarga, pemulihan korban, dan penegakan keadilan. Dengan demikian, integrasi fikih jinayah dan hukum keluarga menjadi penting sebagai upaya memperkuat sistem hukum yang mampu menjaga stabilitas sosial, moral, dan keberlangsungan keluarga sebagai pilar utama masyarakat.
