Childfree is a life choice not to have children after or before marriage, whether biological children, stepchildren, or adopted children. This article discusses how childfree is influenced by the digital era and what the perspective of Islamic law is according to the views of ulama and gender activists in Malang, East Java. This empirical legal study used legal sociology and maqāṣid al-sharī’ah approaches. Data were collected by means of in-depth interviews and a literature review. Findings showed that child-free development in Indonesia has been influenced by the digital era through online media, which quickly spread and made it easier for people from various countries to interact and share information. One of the objectives of Islamic law (maqāṣid al-sharī'ah) is to maintain offspring (hifz al-nasl) through marriage. According to the ulama, being childfree is contrary to Islamic law and the nature of humanity. According to the Nahdlatul Ulama, Muhammadiyah, and gender activists, the laws on childfree can be summed up in two ways: haram and mubah. Childfree is haram (unlawful) because it is contrary to maqāṣid al-sharī’ah, i.e., preserving offspring, as it is also the goal of marriage. Childfree is mubah (allowed) if there are reasons that are condoned by the sharia, e.g., health problems, physical limitations, and psychological conditions that prevent the wife from having children. Sociologically, the government and all related parties need to provide education to the public so that the meaning of childfree can be understood properly and correctly.

This study aims to examine how NU understands bid'ah and how its moderate attitude in responding to various religious traditions that are considered bid'ah. The research method used is a literature review with a qualitative approach. The results of the study show that NU applies the principle of moderation through the concept of maslahah in responding to new traditions that develop in society. Religious traditions such as tawassul, tabarruk, and the commemoration of Maulid are included in the category of bid'ah hasanah, which is accepted because it brings goodness both in social and spiritual aspects. NU's understanding of bid'ah provides a balance between maintaining good old traditions and accepting new innovations that are beneficial to the people.

This article interrogates how Islamic marriage registration is governed in practice by examining the relational dynamics between the penghulu (marriage registrar) and the modin (village religious official) in Pasuruan Regency, East Java, within the broader project of bureaucratizing Islamic family law in Indonesia. Although state law formally centralizes marriage registration authority in the penghulu as the embodiment of legal-rational authority, empirical evidence reveals a layered socio-legal configuration shaped by limited state capacity, the enduring cultural legitimacy of the modin, and the practical demands of public service provision. Employing a socio-legal methodology, this field study draws on structured interviews with 19 informants across three sub-districts, non-participant observation, and analysis of relevant regulatory frameworks. The findings demonstrate that marriage administration operates through a pattern of structural interdependence between the penghulu and the modin, reflecting an interaction between legal-rational and traditional authority. Under conditions of bureaucratic constraint, the modin functions as a gatekeeper, a preliminary verifier, and an administrative intermediary, while the penghulu retains final authority over validation and formal marriage registration. This relational configuration not only sustains the operation of Islamic legal governance at the local level but also generates ongoing negotiations between formal legality and socially embedded legitimacy. The article argues that the bureaucratization of Islamic family law does not displace traditional authority; rather, it reconstitutes it within an interdependent governance framework. In doing so, the study contributes to contemporary scholarship on Islamic law and legal pluralism by demonstrating how legal-rational and traditional authority are mutually constituted within everyday administrative practice. [Artikel ini mengkaji bagaimana tata kelola pencatatan perkawinan Islam dijalankan dalam praktik dengan menelaah dinamika relasional antara penghulu dan modin di Kabupaten Pasuruan, Jawa Timur, dalam kerangka birokratisasi hukum keluarga Islam di Indonesia. Meskipun hukum negara secara formal memusatkan kewenangan pencatatan perkawinan pada penghulu sebagai representasi otoritas legal-rasional, realitas empiris memperlihatkan konfigurasi sosio-legal yang berlapis, dipengaruhi oleh keterbatasan kapasitas negara, kuatnya legitimasi kultural modin, serta tuntutan pragmatis pelayanan publik. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan sosio-legal, penelitian lapangan ini dilakukan di tiga kecamatan melalui wawancara terstruktur terhadap 19 informan, observasi non-partisipan, serta analisis terhadap kerangka regulasi yang relevan. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa administrasi perkawinan berjalan melalui pola ketergantungan struktural antara penghulu dan modin, yang merefleksikan interaksi antara otoritas legal-rasional dan otoritas tradisional. Dalam konteks keterbatasan birokratis, modin berfungsi sebagai gerbang awal, verifikator pertama, dan perantara administratif, sementara penghulu tetap memegang otoritas final dalam validasi dan pencatatan pernikahan resmi. Konfigurasi relasional ini tidak hanya menopang keberlangsungan tata kelola hukum Islam di tingkat lokal, tetapi juga memperlihatkan negosiasi berkelanjutan antara legalitas formal dan legitimasi sosial yang mengakar. Artikel ini berargumen bahwa birokratisasi hukum keluarga Islam tidak menyingkirkan otoritas tradisional, melainkan merekonstitusikannya dalam kerangka tata kelola yang bersifat interdependen. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini berkontribusi pada pengembangan kajian hukum Islam dan pluralisme hukum dengan menunjukkan bahwa otoritas legal-rasional dan tradisional dalam praktik administratif sehari-hari tidak bekerja secara terpisah, melainkan saling membentuk dan menguatkan.]

Background: This community engagement program addresses the challenge of strengthening family resilience (sakinah families) by focusing on women's empowerment and child protection within the community. The program utilizes an asset-based perspective to build upon existing community strengths rather than focusing solely on deficiencies. Purpose of the Study: The program aims to revitalize the function of sakinah families through the specific objectives of enhancing women's leadership, providing Islamic parenting education, preventing early marriage, and fostering economic empowerment. Methods: The program was implemented using the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) framework, structured into five key stages: discovery, dream, design, delivery, and destiny. Activities included educational workshops, forum establishment, and productive economic training. Results: Quantitative results showed a significant increase in participants' legal and religious literacy, with understanding of the legal minimum marriage age rising from 36% to 89%. The program successfully established a sustainable women's forum (20 leaders) that coordinates monthly parenting and adolescent counseling sessions. Furthermore, the formation of a women's business group led to an average 15% increase in household income, demonstrating enhanced economic agency. The ABCD approach proved effective in building sustainable community structures for family development.
