Abstract

This  study  discusses  the  protection  of  women  and  children  after divorce  at  the  Syar'iyah  Court  in  Aceh.  A  legal  sociology  approach  is  used to  draw  the  decisions  of  the  Banda  Aceh,  Aceh  Besar,  Pidie,  Bireuen,  and Lhokseumawe Syar'iyyah Courts. The interviews were conducted with judges, community  leaders,  village  heads,  heads  of  the  Office  of  Religious  Affairs (KUA),  academics,  traditional  figures,  and  non-governmental  organizations (NGO) activists. This study concludes that the Syar'iyah Court in Aceh, in its  decision,  has  ensured  the  rights  of  women  and  children.  The  Syar'iyah Court  in  Aceh  determined  the  provision  of  'iddah,  muṭ'ah  maintenance, joint  assets,  and  childcare  rights  to  women.  Children  get  living  expenses, guardianship from the family, and care from the mother. Sociologically, the law has functioned as a means of social control through the Syar'iyah Court and judges as the main part of the legal structure supported by other elements of society so that the protection of women and children can be realized fairly.Keywords: protection of women and children; divorce; legal sociology; sharia court AbstrakKajian  ini  membahas  perlindungan  perempuan  dan  anak  setelah perceraian pada Mahkamah Syar’iyah di Aceh.

Abstract

Indonesia recognizes several legal systems i.e., state law, customary law, Islamic law, and international law. Islamic sharia in Aceh is part of legal pluralism in Indonesia. This study aims to discuss the application of Islamic sharia from the perspective of legal pluralism. This normative legal study employed a legal pluralism theory analysis. Legal pluralism is a theory that views law not only as positive or written law made by the state but also as a recognition of the legal reality that exists in a pluralistic society. The study collected data by means of a literature review. Findings revealed that Islamic sharia in Aceh as part of the recognition of the concept of legal pluralism has been implemented well in the context of state law, custom, and Islamic law. The state has provided juridical legitimacy through laws in the context of legal substance and judicial institutions or sharia courts. Likewise, revitalization has also occurred in traditional institutions in terms of customary law and customary justice. The argument emphasized in this study is that Islamic sharia in the context of legal pluralism has succeeded in manifesting legal harmonization between the state, custom, and Islamic law
