Abstract

Islamic family law in Malaysia and Indonesia has the same sharia basis but differs in its application due to the influence of the legal system, culture, and state policies. This comparison is important to understand the variation of regulations and their implications for Muslim communities in both countries. This study aims to analyze the similarities and differences of Islamic family law in Malaysia and Indonesia, especially in the aspects of marriage, polygamy, and inheritance, and to examine the effectiveness of its implementation. This study uses a normative juridical method with a comparative approach. Primary data sources include the Enakmen of the Melaka State Law Number 12 of 2002, the Selangor State Law Draft, the Islamic Family Law Enakmen Number 17 of 2003 (Malaysia), and Law Number 1 of 1974, Law Number 16 of 2019, and the Compilation of Islamic Law (Indonesia). Data collection techniques were carried out through library research, with data analysis using descriptive analysis and content analysis of applicable legal provisions. Research shows that although Malaysia and Indonesia are both based on sharia, Malaysia tends to be more structured in regulating polygamy and inheritance, while Indonesia is more flexible by considering customary law. Differences are also seen in the authority of the judicial institution, where Malaysia has autonomous Sharia Courts per state, while Indonesia implements a centralized system through the Religious Courts.

Abstract

This paper aims to comprehensively examine Islamic Family Law in Indonesia, focusing on its historical development, legal sources, and core components such as marriage, inheritance, divorce, wills, adoption, and gifts. The method used is a literature review of Islamic legal texts and national regulations, particularly the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) and the Marriage Law. The results show that Islamic Family Law in Indonesia has significantly evolved, especially since the enactment of Law No. 1 of 1974 and the implementation of KHI through Presidential Instruction No. 1 of 1991. Nevertheless, challenges remain in terms of implementation, public understanding, and criticism of certain provisions perceived as gender- biased. Ongoing reform and contextualization are needed to ensure Islamic family law delivers more equitable justice in Indonesia’s pluralistic society.
