Abstract

This study aims to analyze the fulfillment of the human rights of the elderly in nursing homes in Medan City as part of social protection for the elderly group. The background of the research is based on the increasing number of elderly people which has implications for the high need for adequate social services and protection. The research method uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that nursing homes play an important role in fulfilling the basic rights of the elderly, especially related to physical, psychological, and social needs. However, there are still various obstacles such as limited professional staff, infrastructure, and adequate budget support. This study concludes that the fulfillment of the rights of the elderly in nursing homes in Medan City has been carried out but is not optimal, so that policy strengthening, improving service quality, and cross-sector collaboration are needed to realize the welfare of the elderly more comprehensively. This research is expected to provide a realistic picture of the implementation of the human rights of the elderly in nursing homes, while also assessing the role of the state and society in ensuring a decent, dignified, and humane life for the elderly. Furthermore, it will provide input for policymakers and nursing home managers to ensure that services for the elderly are increasingly oriented toward respecting their human rights.

Abstract

The debate on gender relations in Islamic family law has intensified alongside increasing demands for the protection of women’s rights, legal modernization, and regulatory harmonization with the principles of justice and human rights. This condition makes family law reform an important issue in the legal systems of Muslim countries. This study aims to analyze gender equality policies in Islamic marriage law through a comparative study between Indonesia and Morocco. This study used a normative legal method with statutory and comparative approaches to the main regulations, namely Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage in Indonesia and the Mudawwanah in Morocco. The results showed that Indonesia and Morocco adopted different models of family law reform. Indonesia applies normative equality that is still influenced by patriarchal and hierarchical structures, whereas Morocco has developed the concept of husband–wife partnership through a more progressive reinterpretation of Islamic law. The conclusion of this study affirms that Islamic family law reform in both countries is equally directed toward strengthening gender equality, but Morocco, through the Mudawwanah, demonstrates more progressive changes in protecting the rights of women and children than Indonesia. The implications of this study indicate that Islamic family law reform needs to continue to be directed toward strengthening the principles of gender equality, the protection of women’s rights, and family justice without disregarding the fundamental values of Islamic law.

Abstract

This study analyzes the minimum age of marriage in Islamic jurisprudence and compares it with the positive law regulations in Indonesia and Malaysia. Using a normative legal method with comparative and conceptual approaches, the study draws on primary sources, including the Qur'an, hadith, Law Number 16 of 2019 on Marriage in Indonesia, and the Islamic Family Law (Federal Territories) Act 1984 in Malaysia. The analysis focuses on how Islamic legal principles concerning marriage eligibility are interpreted and incorporated into contemporary legal frameworks in both countries. The findings reveal that Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) associates marital readiness with the concept of baligh (puberty) without prescribing a specific numerical age, whereas state law establishes fixed minimum age requirements to safeguard the rights and welfare of women and children. Indonesia sets the minimum marriage age at 19 years for both males and females, while Malaysia prescribes 18 years for males and 16 years for females, with judicial dispensation available in both jurisdictions under certain circumstances. These legal arrangements demonstrate each country's effort to harmonize classical Islamic jurisprudence with contemporary social protection objectives through institutional ijtihad, reflecting a balance between religious principles, legal certainty, and public welfare in regulating marriage.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the increasing number of divorce petitions filed by wives at the Kutacane Syar’iyah Court in recent years, indicating challenges to family resilience and the effectiveness of resolving marital conflicts. This study aims to analyze the factors contributing to the rise in divorce petitions, examine their impact on society, and identify the judges’ considerations in deciding divorce cases at the Kutacane Syar’iyah Court. The research employed an empirical juridical approach. Data were collected through interviews with judges and court staff, case documentation, and literature review, and were analyzed using descriptive qualitative methods. The findings indicate that the increase in divorce petitions is influenced by several factors, including economic problems, husbands’ lack of responsibility, prolonged marital disputes, infidelity, domestic violence, and poor family communication. The increase in divorce petitions has social, psychological, and economic impacts on families, particularly on children's welfare. Judges base their decisions on facts presented during the trial, available evidence, applicable legal provisions, and the principle of public benefit to achieve justice for the parties involved. This study is expected to provide valuable input for strengthening family resilience and optimizing mediation efforts to reduce divorce rates.

Abstract

This study examines the concept of mahr in Islamic marriage by analyzing Qur’anic verses that affirm mahr as a fundamental right of women and a binding obligation upon men. Rather than viewing mahr solely as a normative legal requirement, this research highlights its function as an instrument of protection, welfare, and honor for women. Using a literature-based approach, the study explores key Qur’anic passages such as QS al-Nisā’ 4, QS al-Baqarah 237, and QS al-Nisā’ 24, supplemented with classical tafsīr and contemporary fiqh scholarship. The findings indicate that the Qur’an emphasizes that mahr must be given sincerely and through mutual agreement, reflecting core principles of justice, consent, and marital commitment. Beyond its material form, mahr carries symbolic and spiritual value, serving as a tangible expression of goodwill and respect. It also functions as a financial safeguard, particularly in cases of divorce. This research concludes that the Qur’anic framework of mahr remains highly relevant in addressing modern social, economic, and cultural challenges surrounding marriage practices, and provides a normative foundation for implementing mahr that is equitable, proportional, and conducive to the well-being of contemporary Muslim families.

Abstract

Salah satu landasan utama hukum keluarga Islam, nafkah, erat kaitannya dengan pembagian keadilan di dalam rumah tangga, hubungan gender, dan sistem tanggung jawab. Konsep nafkah sering dipertanyakan dalam praktik sosial modern sebagai respons terhadap perubahan peran ekonomi yang dimainkan oleh suami dan istri. Melalui pendekatan interpretatif terhadap ayat-ayat warisan, esai ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi struktur hukum nafkah dalam rumah tangga Islam. Secara khusus, esai ini meneliti hubungan normatif antara tanggung jawab nafkah dan konsep Al-Qur'an tentang pembagian harta. Dengan menggunakan ayat-ayat warisan dalam Surah al-Nisā' dan tafsir dari para mufassir klasik maupun modern, studi ini menerapkan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan teologis-normatif dan analisis tafsir tematik (tafsir maudhu‘i). Karena pembagian warisan yang proporsional didasarkan pada kewajiban ekonomi yang terkait dengan laki-laki, hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ayat-ayat warisan tidak dapat dipisahkan dari pembentukan kewajiban untuk memberikan dukungan finansial. Oleh karena itu, hukum keluarga Islam memandang keadilan sebagai hal yang fungsional rather than sekadar matematis. Untuk menjaga konsep keadilan substansial dalam dinamika keluarga Muslim kontemporer, penelitian ini menyoroti pentingnya pembacaan komprehensif dan kontekstual terhadap ayat-ayat hukum.

Abstract

This study analyzes the dynamics of child custody (hadhanah) in Algeria and Indonesia through a comparative examination of legal regulations and social practices in both countries. This topic is important because post-divorce child custody is closely related to the protection of children’s rights, legal certainty, and the application of the principle of the best interests of the child. The study employs a normative legal research method with a comparative law approach. Data were collected through a literature review of legislation, Islamic legal literature, scholarly articles, and relevant legal documents. The findings indicate that both Indonesia and Algeria use Islamic law as a foundation in regulating hadhanah, although their legal constructions differ. In Indonesia, the Compilation of Islamic Law prioritizes custody rights for mothers for children who are not yet mumayyiz. In contrast, Algeria, which is strongly influenced by the Maliki school of thought, provides more detailed rules regarding the hierarchy of custodians and custody conditions. In practice, both countries face similar challenges, including custody disputes after divorce, considerations of child welfare, and changes in modern family structures. Nevertheless, the best interests of the child remain the primary principle in custody decisions. The study concludes that differences in hadhanah regulations are shaped by variations in Islamic jurisprudence, national legal systems, and social contexts, highlighting the need to strengthen child protection mechanisms.
