Abstract

This study aims to explain the reform of marriage registration policies in Indonesia and Malaysia. Marriage registration policies in Indonesia and Malaysia have yet to be appropriately implemented. This is proven by the fact that many unregistered marriage practices exist. This study is a literature and field research. Data was collected through documentation and interviews. This study found that the States of Indonesia and Malaysia have issued policies regarding the mandatory registration of marriages. Even so, there are still many unregistered marriages. There are many factors behind the occurrence of unregistered marriages, besides also causing problems. The government needs to reform the marriage registration policy, one of which is through digitalization. The State of Indonesia has innovated marriage registration, namely, online registration of marriages. However, this policy was implemented less effectively below. Meanwhile, the Malaysian state still needs to renew its marriage registration policy. Therefore, in this digital era, it is necessary to have a policy for registering marriages in the direction of complete digitization so that problems can be appropriately resolved.

Abstract

This study aims to comprehensively investigate the tradition of giving Cincin Penyembah at a traditional marriage ceremony of the Central Bengkulu Serawai tribe. The tradition is intended to preserve the virginity of young people amidst moral degradation and promote social bonding within the tribe. As data collection techniques, a sociological approach is used with observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that sociological dynamics underlined the tradition of giving Cincin Penyembah. This tradition was created to safeguard the Serawai people by preserving their daughters' virginity and maintaining the harmony of the household. Symbolically, it represented a son-in-law's gratitude to the mother-in-law for the wife's virginity and could preserve religious and customary norms in Eastern culture. This tradition was consistent with Maqāṣid al-Sharī’ah, specifically ḥifdh al-dīn (safeguarding religion), ḥifdh al-nasl (safeguarding offspring), and ḥifdh al-māl (protecting wealth).  Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui secara komprehensif tradisi pemberian Cincin Penyembah pada pernikahan adat suku Serawai Bengkulu Tengah, sebagai tradisi menjaga keperawanan remaja di tengah degradasi moral dalam pergaulan pria dan wanita. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian lapangan dengan pendekatan sosiologis. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dinamika sosiologis yang melatarbelakangi tradisi pemberian Cincin Penyembah ini merupakan upaya para pendahulu suku Serawai untuk melindungi masyarakat Serawai dengan menjaga keharmonisan rumah tangga dalam bentuk menjaga keperawanan putri-putrinya. Tradisi pemberian Cincin Penyembah ini merupakan alat pengikat sosial suku Serawai, secara filosofis melambangkan rasa terima kasih menantu kepada ibu mertuanya karena istrinya masih perawan, dan alat untuk menjaga norma agama dan adat dalam budaya timur. Tradisi pemberian Cincin Penyembah ini sejalan dengan Maqāṣid al-Sharī’ah, yaitu ḥifdh al-dīn (menjaga agama), ḥifdh al-nasl (menjaga keturunan), dan ḥifdh al-māl (menjaga harta).

Abstract

Child labor remains a significant issue in contemporary society despite existing legal frameworks aimed at protecting children's rights. This study presents an original approach by applying the principles of Maqasid Syariah to evaluate and strengthen child protection laws in Indonesia, specifically Law No. 35 of 2014 on Child Protection. The objectives of this research are to assess the effectiveness of the current legal framework in protecting child workers, identify its limitations, and explore how Maqasid Syariah principles can enhance these laws. The research employs a qualitative method, utilizing literature reviews and legal analysis to evaluate the existing legal framework and propose improvements based on Maqasid Syariah principles. Empirical findings reveal several limitations in the current legislation, including inconsistent implementation and enforcement, resource constraints, lack of coordination among stakeholders, insufficient awareness and education about children's rights, and the need to address the root causes of child labor, such as poverty and socio-economic inequalities. The practical implications of this study include recommendations to prioritize education, enforce strict labor protection regulations, enhance community training and awareness, encourage multi-stakeholder cooperation, and conduct regular monitoring and evaluation of child protection policies and programs. The study also highlights the importance of using the hierarchy of five protections (religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property) as indicators in evaluating child protection. By adopting a holistic approach grounded in Maqasid Syariah, this study proposes a new theoretical framework to integrate these principles with contemporary child protection laws. This offers a promising avenue for enhancing the effectiveness of child labor policies globally, ensuring that children grow up in a safe, healthy, and supportive environment, free from exploitation and hazardous working conditions.

Abstract

This study explores the philosophical values and human rights implications within the Bajapuik tradition, a distinct matrimonial practice of the Padang Pariaman tribe in Sumatra. Explores the philosophical values of the unique amalgamation of local wisdom and Islamic law as an example of integrating cultural heritage with religious principles in marriage. As qualitative descriptive field research, data were gathered from interviews and documentation from a diverse group of informants, including religious leaders, traditional leaders, community leaders, and the people of Padang Pariaman. By utilising a sociological approach, the study examines the social realities of the Bajapuik tradition, mainly focusing on its dowry practice, particularly the maslahah (general welfare) concept. Contrary to typical dowry practices, in the Bajapuik tradition, the bride’s family provides the dowry to the groom, symbolising respect and equality rather than economic burdens. This study highlights that the Bajapuik tradition is not merely a transactional stage in the marriage process but a more profound expression of community bonds and shared values. The findings emphasise the strong philosophical values of mutual respect and companionship inherent in the Bajapuik tradition, demonstrating its alignment with Islamic law and human rights values. This research reveals how the Minangkabau’s adherence to religious and local wisdom significantly reinforces human rights within traditional practices. Furthermore, the study examines the extent to which the Bajapuik tradition achieves the objectives of maslahah in marriage. The results show that the Bajapuik tradition supports general welfare (maslahah) by strengthening social bonds, upholding the dignity of women, and ensuring justice and equality in marital relationships, offering a new perspective rarely explored in previous studies.

But the important thing to note here, for those who bertaqlid on Hanafi when issuing tithes monetary amount should be within the limit of tithes according to Abu Hanifah.

Abstract

This study aims to reveal in detail the positive and negative impacts that arise from polygamy in Muslim family life. This research is a literature review, which uses documentation techniques in finding the required data. While the analytical method used is the inductive method. After conducting in-depth research, conclusions are obtained, including: The positive impact of polygamy is the opening of a way out of emergency conditions that occur in the household. Polygamy can be a solution for people to avoid committing adultery/ infidelity. Polygamy can also be a solution for someone to have children if his first wife is barren, protect widows, or channel the sexual needs of a husband who cannot be channeled properly with his first wife. While the negative impact that arises from polygamy for Muslim families is psychologically, a wife will feel disturbed and hurt to see her husband having sex with other women. A number of studies have shown that the average wife when she finds out her husband remarried spontaneously experiences feelings of depression, prolonged stress, sadness and disappointment. In addition, the relationship between husband and wife and their extended family is not harmonious. Marriage essentially connects the bond between two large families, polygamy makes the bond disrupted, maybe even broken. In addition, in the life of a polygamous family, of course, there are concerns in fostering and meeting family needs. : Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap secara detail dampak positif dan negatif yang muncul dari poligami dalam kehidupan berkeluarga muslim. Penelitian ini bersifat kajian pustaka, yang mengunakan teknik dokumentasi dalam mencari data-data yang diperlukan. Sedangkan metode analisa yang digunakan adalah metode induktif. Setelah dilakukan penelitian secara mendalam maka diperoleh kesimpulan, antara lain: Dampak positif poligami adalah terbukanya jalan keluar dari kondisi darurat yang terjadi dalam rumah tangga. Poligami dapat menjadi solusi bagi orang terhindar dari berbuat zina/ perselingkuhan. Poligami juga bisa menjadi solusi bagi seseorang untuk memiliki keturunan jika istri pertamanya mandul, melindungi para janda, atau menyalurkan kebutuhan seks suami yang tidak dapat tersalurkan dengan baik dengan istri pertamanya. Sedangkan dampak negatif yang muncul dari poligami bagi keluarga muslim adalah secara psikologi, seorang isteri akan merasa terganggu dan sakit hati melihat suaminya berhubungan dengan perempuan lain. Sejumlah penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata isteri begitu mengetahui suaminya menikah lagi secara spontan mengalami perasaan depresi, stres berkepanjangan, sedih dan kecewa. Selain itu, hubungan suami isteri dan keluarga besarnya menjadi tidak harmonis. Perkawinan pada esensinya menyambung ikatan antara dua keluarga besar, poligami membuat ikatan itu terganggu, bahkan mungkin terputus. Selain itu, dalam kehidupan keluarga poligami tentunya terdapat kekhawatiran dalam membina dan memenuhi kebutuhan keluarga.

Abstract

Divorce mediation has emerged as a practical approach to resolving marital disputes, transforming the desire for divorce into an opportunity for reconciliation within contemporary Islamic jurisprudence and cultural contexts. This process highlights the growing importance of integrating cultural values into legal dispute-resolution mechanisms, particularly in Muslim societies where local traditions significantly influence family dynamics. This article assesses the effectiveness of divorce mediation in Indonesia, focusing on its role in reducing conflict, fostering post-divorce cooperation, and supporting the psychological well-being of couples involved. A mixed-methods approach combines quantitative surveys of 111 couples who participated in mediation with in-depth interviews with three professional mediators. Reconciliation was evaluated based on participants' perceptions of post-divorce interactions, particularly their communication and co-parenting abilities. The study acknowledges limitations, such as purposive sampling, which restricts generalizability, and reliance on self-reported data that may introduce bias. Results show that 75% of couples experienced reduced conflict, 95% were satisfied with the outcomes, and 60% reported continued cooperation three years post-divorce. The study emphasizes the role of mediators, structured negotiation processes, and cultural values in successful mediation, recommending improved mediator training and culturally sensitive approaches.
