Abstract

This study investigates the use of politeness strategies in the Bahasa Inggris textbook for Indonesian twelfth-grade students. It aims to identify statements explicitly expressing politeness within the textbook’s conversation exercises. Considering the cultural significance of politeness in Indonesian society, particularly within educational settings, the study highlights the importance of integrating culturally appropriate communication practices into English language teaching (ELT) materials. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, six chapters (Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, and 14) were analyzed, resulting in 128 instances of politeness strategies. Among these, positive politeness emerged as the most dominant (50%), followed by negative politeness (25%), off-record strategies (11.7%), bald-on-record strategies (7.8%), and “Don’t do the FTA” (5.5%). The findings reveal that the conversational texts reflect Indonesian cultural norms by emphasizing respect, indirectness, and sensitivity to social hierarchy. This research evaluates ELT materials by promoting the integration of linguistically and culturally appropriate politeness strategies. It also encourages educators and textbook developers to prioritize politeness in instructional materials, enhancing students’ pragmatic competence in English communication.

Abstract

The Indonesian Islamic Da’wa Institution (LDII) has a different marriage arrangement from most. In the matchmaking process, they have a marriage team responsible for overseeing it and facilitating an unregistered marriage (nikah dalam). An unregistered marriage is a marriage contract carried out by the congregation before a marriage is performed in the Office of Religious Affairs. This study aims to analyze the matchmaking process and the unregistered marriage practice carried out by the LDII in Sawoo Village, Ponorogo, Indonesia, utilising a Sociology of Law approach and the Structural-Functional (AGIL) framework. This study employed a descriptive-qualitative approach to describe and analyze the phenomenon. The findings show that the practice of nikah dalam in the LDII community is influenced by cultural, social, biological, and personality systems.  Furthermore, it is also an effort to maintain a system that has become a stable norm in the community because it meets four functional requirements. They are Adaptation, Goal Attainment, Integration, and Latency. Therefore, the system remains alive and runs well, preventing conflict. This paper contributes to studies in the Islamic Family Law, especially, regarding traditions and marriage practices in Indonesian religious organizations. This study also provides a detailed account of how religious authority acts as the primary legal actor in enforcing the community's internal rules.

Abstract

The policing of protests in Indonesia and Nepal, revealing systemic patterns of excessive force, arbitrary detention, and the criminalization of political expression. In Indonesia, the August 25–29, 2025 protests involved structured abuse of authority, including physical persecution, deprivation of liberty without adherence to Criminal Procedure Code protocols, and obstruction of legal counsel. In Nepal, 2025 protests saw the use of live ammunition, torture, and other severe measures violating the right to freedom of assembly under the 2015 Constitution. Both cases highlight legal deficiencies: Indonesia relies on general penal provisions without specialized instruments for state violations, while Nepal, despite criminalizing torture under Section 167 of the National Penal Code 2017, struggles with politically influenced implementation. Acts of violence and procedural abuse meet the criteria of unlawful acts, abuse of authority, and human rights violations under national and international law, including ICCPR and anti-torture standards. The failure to prosecute security personnel entrenches impunity. Findings indicate that strengthening accountability mechanisms, prosecuting officers when offenses are established, reforming security governance, and instituting independent investigative bodies are essential to protect constitutional rights and prevent recurrent state violence during protests.
