Abstract

This study aims to analyze polygamy practices and their positive and negative impacts on family life as well as the psychological conditions of wives and children in the community of Paciran District, Lamongan Regency. This research employs a qualitative approach, with a conceptual and case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving polygamy practitioners, community leaders, and related parties. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that polygamy practices in Paciran vary, ranging from open to covert arrangements. Normatively, polygamy is perceived as permissible in Islamic law under strict conditions of justice and financial capability. However, in practice, polygamy tends to generate more negative impacts than positive ones, particularly affecting the psychological well-being of wives and children, including jealousy, emotional instability, domestic conflict, and declining family harmony. Nevertheless, a limited number of families demonstrate relative stability through equitable treatment and effective communication. This study highlights that polygamy requires strong psychological, economic, and moral readiness to prevent broader social and familial harm.

Abstract

This study examines the Islamic legal perspective on the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) program as a means of maintaining household harmony. Infertility constitutes a significant challenge for many married couples, often generating emotional distress, social stigma, marital conflict, and, in some cases, the dissolution of marriage. Using normative juridical research and a library-based methodology, this article systematically reviews primary Islamic legal sources—the Qur'an, Hadith, classical and contemporary fiqh texts—as well as the fatwas of major Indonesian and international Islamic jurisprudential bodies. The study finds that IVF is permissible (mubah) under Islamic law when the sperm and ovum belong exclusively to a lawfully married couple, and the embryo is implanted in the wife's own uterus. Conversely, IVF conducted using donor sperm, donor eggs, or a surrogate womb is categorically prohibited (haram) because it leads to the mixing of lineage (ikhtilat al-nasab), resembles adultery in its legal consequence, and violates the overarching objectives of Islamic law (Maqasid al-Shari'ah), particularly the protection of lineage (hifz al-nasl). The article further argues that permissible IVF contributes positively to household harmony by fulfilling the Islamic ideal of a complete sakinah, mawaddah wa rahmah family, while prohibited forms introduce irreversible legal, ethical, and social complications that undermine marital stability. This research adds to the scholarly discourse by integrating contemporary medical realities with classical fiqh analysis and the concept of Maslahah Mursalah.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the premarital counseling program organized by the Office of Religious Affairs (Kantor Urusan Agama/KUA) of Bululawang District, Malang Regency, in enhancing prospective brides’ and grooms’ knowledge of the concepts of sakinah, mawaddah, and rahmah in family life. The high divorce rate in Indonesia—reaching 480,618 cases in 2021, with 110 cases recorded in Bululawang District alone in 2022—constitutes the underlying urgency of this research. This study employs a descriptive, qualitative approach using field research methods. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Informants included the head of the KUA, marriage counselors, program facilitators, and ten pairs of prospective brides and grooms. The findings indicate that: (1) the premarital counseling program at the KUA of Bululawang has been implemented in accordance with the Regulation of the Director General of Islamic Community Guidance (Bimas Islam) Number 379 of 2018, encompassing six core modules delivered using andragogical methods; (2) supporting factors include the availability of instructional modules, the capacity of certified facilitators, and adequate facilities and infrastructure, while inhibiting factors comprise budget constraints, the absence of mandatory participation regulations, and suboptimal participant engagement; (3) overall, the premarital counseling program has proven effective in enhancing both the knowledge and psychological readiness of prospective couples, with the average readiness score reaching 74.65%. This study recommends strengthening regulations to mandate participation in premarital counseling programs and increasing budget allocations for the KUA.

Abstract

Domestic violence is a serious violation of human rights that requires an institutional response beyond just legal measures. The Population, Family Planning, and Women's Empowerment Agency (BKKBPP) of Malang City plays a strategic, legally mandated role in providing integrated support to victims of domestic violence through legal aid, psychological counseling, medical assistance, and mediation. This research evaluates how effective BKKBPP's advocacy is in protecting and empowering victims and assesses its consistency with Maqasid al-Shari'ah's normative goals. Using a normative-empirical juridical approach based on primary field data and Islamic family law literature, the study reveals that BKKBPP's advocacy functions across three interconnected areas: legal (both litigative and non-litigative), psychosocial (trauma counseling and rehabilitation), and social mediation. Results show that when these areas operate collaboratively and focus on victims, the agency's efforts significantly improve victims' safety, mental health, and social reintegration. Challenges include victims' reluctance to report, limited resources, scheduling conflicts, and the diversity of victim profiles. From the perspective of Maqasid al-Shari'ah, BKKBPP's advocacy supports core Islamic legal goals such as protecting life (hifz al-nafs), intellect (hifz al-'aql), progeny (hifz al-nasl), and dignity. This study adds to the literature by illustrating that institutional advocacy aligned with Maqasid al-Shari'ah is both Jurisprudentially sound and practically vital for fully protecting victims of domestic violence in a Muslim society.

Abstract

Inheritance law is one part of civil law and is the smallest part of family law. Inheritance law is closely related to the scope of human life because every human being will experience a legal event called death. In the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia territory, various inheritance law systems apply, namely customary inheritance law, Islamic inheritance law, and Western inheritance law, as stated in the Burgerlijk Wetboek (BW). The family system in Indonesian society focuses on the lineage system. In general, there are three kinship systems, namely the patrilineal system (found in communities in Tanah Gayo, Alas, Batak, Ambon, Irian Jaya, Timor, and Bali), the matrilineal system (found in the Minangkabau area), and the bilateral or parental system (found in regions include: Java, Madura, East Sumatra, Riau, Aceh, South Sumatra, all of Kalimantan, all of Sulawesi, Ternate and Lombok). According to Minangkabau customary law, the inheritance distribution system, is based on a descent system drawn from the mother's line, namely a matrilineal inheritance system where the position of children is inherited. Women are the successors, but the heirs are all male and female children from the mother's assets.
