Abstract

This article explores the political dynamics behind the legislative process of the Qanun on Ahwal al-Syakhshiyah in Aceh, a province with special autonomy to implement Islamic law in Indonesia. Rather than focusing solely on the substance of the qanun, this study investigates the complex interplay of power, ideology, and institutional interests during its formulation. The main research question addressed is: How do political, religious, and institutional actors shape the legislative process of Islamic family law in Aceh? Using a socio-legal approach and political legal theory, this article analyzes the roles of key actors such as the Aceh House of Representatives (DPRA), the Ulama Consultative Council (MPU), the provincial executive, civil society, and the central government. The study reveals that the legislative process is not merely normative or religious in character, but is deeply embedded in political contestation, ideological negotiation, and regional–national power dynamics. This article contributes to the discourse on Islamic legal politics by demonstrating how sharia-based legislation in autonomous regions is shaped by broader negotiations of authority and legitimacy.

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of the right of inquiry (hak angket) by the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR) as regulated in Law Number 17 of 2014 concerning the MPR, DPR, DPD, and DPRD. The main problem lies in the unclear boundaries, mechanisms, and legal consequences of the inquiry right, particularly in overseeing the 2024 general election. Although the 1945 Constitution authorizes the DPR to exercise this instrument as part of its oversight function, its effectiveness in uncovering alleged electoral irregularities remains debated. The purpose of this research is to examine the stages, legal framework, and practical challenges of the inquiry right in responding to election-related violations, and to evaluate its role in strengthening democratic accountability. This study employs a normative legal method by analyzing constitutional provisions, statutory regulations, and the DPR’s internal rules. Findings show that the inquiry process consists of submission, preliminary discussion, investigation, special hearings, report drafting, and final decision-making. In the 2024 election context, the inquiry right is directed at proving indications of fraud and mapping institutional weaknesses of election organizers, serving as an alternative oversight mechanism outside litigation. Nonetheless, unresolved issues remain, such as its legal standing vis-à-vis election bodies, undefined operational limits, lack of timeframe, weak supervisory instruments, and uncertain outcomes. The study implies that clearer regulations and stronger enforcement mechanisms are needed so that the inquiry right functions not merely as a political tool, but as an effective instrument to ensure the DPR’s oversight role and the integrity of Indonesia’s electoral democracy.
