Abstract

Dato’ Yutitam is a Muslim judge authorized to deal with cases related to Islam together with a civil judge in the First Instance Court in the four Islamic provinces in southern Thailand. This authority is based on the provisions of the Act on the Application of Islamic Law in Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat and Satun 1946. Without Dato’ Yutitam, family cases cannot be decided. However, the power given to him is very limited, and his decisions cannot be appealed. This study relies on the study of documents and interviews with judges and the President of the Yala Islamic Religious Council to analyze the extent of the role taken by Dato’ Yutitam in making decisions on cases under the civil justice system of Thailand. This study reveals that a Dato’ Yutitam has limited power compared to civil judges, but he has a very positive impact on the Muslim community in the four southern regions of Thailand.  Abstrak: Dato’ Yutitam adalah seorang hakim Muslim yang berwenang menangani kasus-kasus yang berkaitan dengan Islam bersama dengan seorang hakim sipil di Pengadilan Tingkat Pertama di empat provinsi Islam di Thailand Selatan. Kewenangan ini didasarkan pada ketentuan Undang-Undang Penerapan Hukum Islam di Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat dan Satun 1946. Tanpa Dato’ Yutitam, kasus keluarga tidak dapat diputuskan. Namun, kekuasaan yang diberikan kepadanya sangat terbatas, dan keputusannya tidak dapat diajukan banding. Studi ini mengandalkan studi dokumen dan wawancara dengan hakim dan Presiden Dewan Agama Islam Yala untuk menganalisis sejauh mana peran yang diambil oleh Dato Yutitam dalam membuat keputusan kasus di bawah sistem peradilan perdata Thailand. Kajian ini mengungkapkan bahwa seorang Dato’ Yutitam memiliki kekuasaan yang terbatas dibandingkan dengan hakim sipil, namun ia memiliki dampak yang sangat positif bagi umat Islam di empat wilayah Thailand Selatan.

Abstract

This study examines the sociocultural determinants and mechanisms of family resilience among young couples in the Dayak Meratus community, South Kalimantan. Contrary to the global narrative that views early marriage as a structural vulnerability, this study demonstrates the existence of resilience mechanisms rooted in local culture. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach with 22 informants, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis, and then analyzed thematically. The results indicate that institutionalized social practices such as arranged marriages, communal living patterns, land grants as initial economic capital, and minimal external intervention serve as social capital that strengthens family resilience. Resilience is determined not only by biological age but also by kinship support, cultural values, and the interaction between customary law, Islamic law, and state law. From the perspective of maqāṣid al-sharī‘a and ‘urf, these practices contribute to the protection of offspring, honor, and economic stability, although they still pose potential conflicts with marriage age regulations. This study emphasizes the importance of a contextual socio-legal approach in understanding the phenomenon of early marriage in Muslim indigenous communities.
