Abstract

This article analyses the decision-making processes of Banda Aceh Syariah Court judges in divorce cases related to drug abuse. By examining the elements of judicial deliberation and the types of legal interpretation employed, the study highlights how different interpretative approaches influence court rulings. The normative research methodology, utilizing statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, ensures a thorough understanding of legal principles and their application in specific cases. Data collection through documentation and interviews with judges, clerks, and legal experts provides valuable insights into judicial reasoning and practical considerations. The findings indicate that discrepancies in court decisions primarily stem from varying interpretations of key evidentiary elements, such as witness testimony, the petition (petitum), pragmatic considerations, and laboratory evidence of narcotics. The use of authentic interpretation, especially grammatical interpretation, demonstrates the judges effort to adhere to the original text and intent of Islamic law. The employment of analogical interpretation reflects an adaptive approach to address complex issues like drug abuse, ensuring that decisions are both legally sound and contextually relevant.The study affirms that these interpretative methods align with Islamic legal principles, particularly the concepts of maslahat (public interest) and mafsadat (harm), which serve as guiding criteria in legal reasoning. By integrating juridical, philosophical, and sociological perspectives, the judges decisions exemplify a holistic approach to justice that balances legal consistency with societal needs. This nuanced understanding underscores the importance of interpretative flexibility within Islamic jurisprudence to effectively address contemporary issues.

Abstract

The persistently high divorce rate in Aceh, predominantly initiated by wives, reflects enduring gender inequality within marital structures. This article critically examines the effectiveness of premarital counseling as a preventive measure against marital dissolution. Using a juridical-normative-empirical approach, qualitative data were collected through interviews with facilitators, registrars, and officials in several Religious Affairs Offices across Aceh Province. Findings reveal that Premarital counseling is frequently implemented in a manner inconsistent with national guidelines, constrained by insufficient duration, lack of certified facilitators, and poor monitoring mechanisms. More importantly, program content often reproduces patriarchal norms rather than addressing structural gender inequalities that contribute to wife-initiated divorce. The article argues that without integrating a gender perspective and addressing underlying socio-legal factors, Premarital counseling remains ineffective in reducing divorce rates. This study contributes to the literature by linking gender imbalance, family resilience, and legal effectiveness, and recommends curriculum reform, professionalization of facilitators, and systematic evaluation to enhance the program’s preventive capacity

Abstract

The legal perspective on interfaith marriage in Indonesia, particularly between Muslims and adherents of other religions, is predominantly influenced by Islamic legal norms. The legal regulations have been established in Articles 40 and 44 of the Compilation of Islamic Law. Fundamentally, these regulations prohibit marriage between Muslims and non-Muslim religious adherents. However, the legal construction in Indonesia tends to be non-binding, as opportunities for interfaith marriage practices persist. The Marriage Law Number 1 of 1974, which serves as the foundational legal framework for marriage in Indonesia, has not explicitly prescribed either permission or prohibition. This is substantiated by the prevalence of marriage practices between Muslim men or women and individuals from other religious backgrounds. The dichotomy between legal practices and legal norms consequently leads to a lack of legal certainty regarding its regulation in Indonesia. Therefore, this manuscript comprehensively elucidates interfaith marriage from Islamic legal perspectives, positive legal frameworks, and its practical legal implementation within the Indonesian context.

Abstract

Shotgun marriage is a serious issue that has recently become increasingly common in society. Some men who impregnate women take responsibility and are willing to marry them, while others run away and shirk their responsibility. While some men are willing to marry women who are already pregnant, the perception still exists in some parts of society that those couples must remarry after the children are born and that the children cannot be traced back to the fathers who acknowledge it. This present study aims to answer the following question: what is the legitimacy of marrying a pregnant woman according to Islamic scholars and Indonesian law in the maslahah method? The results of the study reveal that according to Abu Hanifah and his student Muhammad, it is permissible to marry a pregnant woman if the one who marries her is the man who impregnated her. However, the marriage of a pregnant woman to a man who did not impregnate her is still a matter of debate. According to Abu Hanifah and Muhammad, it is permissible, but the man should not have intercourse with her until the child is born. According to Abu Yusuf and Zafar, it is not permissible to marry a woman who is pregnant as a result of zina (fornication) with another man because it is likened to pregnancy without zina. Imam Malik does not allow the marriage of a pregnant woman because of zina and considers such a marriage to be invalid, and the woman must undergo the iddah (waiting) period. Imam Shafi'i, on the other hand, considers shotgun marriage to be valid, regardless of whether the man who marries her is the one who impregnated her or not, and it is permissible for him to have intercourse with her even though she is pregnant because the presence of the fetus does not invalidate the marriage contract. According to the Hanbali scholars, marrying a pregnant woman is not valid unless two things have been done: she has repented and she has waited out the iddah period. Article 53 of the KHI (Kompilasi Hukum Islam/The Compilation of Islamic Law) states that a woman who is pregnant outside of marriage can be married to the man who impregnated her, and the marriage can be solemnized without waiting for the child to be born. However, the KHI should also add a phrase about a man who marries a pregnant woman who is not the one who impregnated her. This permissibility does not mean condoning zina but rather accommodating the interests of Indonesian society, which is in line with the opinion of Imam Shafi'i.

Abstract

The research on Aceh in various fields has been conducted by many scholars so far. What is felt less of concern in academic studies is on current period of post-conflict Aceh after peace process between Free Aceh Movement and Indonesian Army since 2005. This article would like to discuss about contemporary situation, especially in the post-conflict Aceh, on what has been shifted dealing with socio-cultural in Acehnese society. However, it has been a big change and shifting within society in Aceh, particularly after sharia religious law stipulated as the main legal formal that is objected as social engineering. Why sharia is important to be studied here could be not separated from Aceh's long history and its deep role of Islamization process to South East Asia. Beside it is used as an identity, sharia currently in Aceh has also chosen as the new culture system and as the way out of prolonged armed conflict in Aceh that has taken place for more than three decades (1976-2005). By using theory religion as a culture system, this article would like to discuss and analyze about how does sharia now in Aceh become a new culture system of identity that broadly changed Aceh and its society, not only in socio-cultural, but also any other dimensions of life in contemporary time. The findings show that sharia religious law which has been institutionalized and stipulated as the main legal formal is more being objected as social engineering projects for future oriented social transformation and being a new culture system of identity.
