Abstract

Reports of reconciliation after triple talaq persist in some Indonesian communities due to misconceptions about divorce status, the scope of reconciliation, and family-law pathways. This article examines post-triple talaq reconciliation through the Shāfiʿī doctrinal lens and Indonesian positive law (the Compilation of Islamic Law/KHI and the Marriage Law) using a qualitative socio-legal case study in Koto Baringin, Mandailing Natal. Data were gathered via in-depth interviews with religious leaders, village/KUA officers, and affected couples, complemented by observation and document review, and analyzed thematically with source/method triangulation. Findings show three recurrent patterns: informal cohabitation without a prior court dissolution or a lawful route to reconciliation; reliance on community leaders’ social legitimacy in place of legal verification; and persistent confusion about “triple talaq at once” and its consequences. In the Mazhab Shāfiʿī , triple talaq triggers baʾīn kubrā; reconciliation is invalid until tahallul occurs through a genuine, non-sham subsequent marriage (nikāḥ taḥlīl is prohibited). Under Indonesian law, divorce is valid only through the Religious Court and reconciliation must follow prescribed procedures and registration. Non-compliance produces legal uncertainty regarding marital status, children’s civil documentation, inheritance, and access to state services. The study recommends strengthening family-law literacy, intensifying KUA counseling, and strict adherence to court procedure and civil registration.

Abstract

This study examines the practice of forced marriage following khalwat (margandak) that persists in Huta Raja Lama Village, Padang Lawas Regency. The practice is driven by the view that couples caught in khalwat should be married immediately to preserve family honor and avoid public shame. The research analyzes this phenomenon from the perspective of Islamic family law in Indonesia. Adopting a socio-legal qualitative (empirical) approach, the study employs in-depth interviews with customary leaders, religious leaders, families, and village officials, complemented by field observation and document analysis. Informants were selected in stages—beginning with relevant key informants and then expanding through referrals—and the data were thematically analyzed, with reliability supported by corroboration across interviews, observations, and documents. The findings indicate that forced marriage continues due to strong socio-cultural pressures—such as preserving honor, concealing shame, and adherence to customary norms—and is framed as a moral obligation of the family to restore reputation. However, the practice is misaligned with the principles of Islamic family law and fiqh, as it generates psychological pressure, proceeds without genuine consent, and contravenes the voluntariness requirement stipulated in Article 6 of Law No. 1/1974 (as amended by Law No. 16/2019) and the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI). It also creates social harms and vulnerabilities in civil rights when marriages are not officially registered.
