Abstract

General Background: Polygamy remains a controversial issue in Islamic family law and judicial practice in Indonesia, primarily centered on the requirement of justice as mandated in Surah An-Nisa verse 3. Specific Background: In practice, achieving fairness in polygamy often faces challenges, particularly in judicial decisions granting polygamy permits. Quraish Shihab’s interpretation of justice emphasizes balance and contextual fairness, offering a multidimensional perspective for analyzing such rulings. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies have not deeply examined how judges operationalize Quraish Shihab’s concept of justice in actual polygamy permit decisions. Aims: This study aims to analyze the application of justice principles in the Jember Religious Court’s Decision No. 1775/Pdt.G/2023/PA.Jr using Quraish Shihab’s justice framework. Results: The findings reveal that the judges’ considerations emphasize procedural and formal justice—such as equality before the law and compliance with legal requirements—while substantive justice, including psychological and social balance for wives and children, remains limited. Novelty: This study provides an integrative analysis linking Islamic theological concepts of justice with judicial reasoning in polygamy cases. Implications: The research highlights the need for a holistic judicial approach that not only fulfills legal formalities but also ensures equitable family welfare consistent with maqasid al-shariah principles. Highlights: Examines judicial justice in polygamy permit decisions. Applies Quraish Shihab’s concept of balanced fairness. Reveals dominance of formal over substantive justice. Keywords: Justice, Polygamy, Quraish Shihab, Religious Court, Islamic Law

Abstract

General Background: Muhallil marriage, conducted after a triple divorce to permit remarriage with a former husband, remains a contested issue in Islamic family law due to its ethical and legal implications. Specific Background: Classical jurisprudence debates its formal validity, while contemporary practices reveal recurring manipulation that places women in vulnerable positions. Knowledge Gap: Existing studies largely address doctrinal legality or socio-legal aspects, with limited integration of feminist jurisprudence and maqasid al-shariah, particularly within the Indonesian context. Aims: This study aims to examine the concept and practice of muhallil marriage through classical and contemporary Islamic legal thought and to critically assess it using feminist jurisprudence and maqasid al-shariah perspectives. Results: Based on a qualitative literature review of fiqh texts, fatwas, religious court decisions, and feminist legal scholarship, the findings indicate that muhallil marriage contradicts the objective of preserving human dignity (ḥifẓ al-‘irḍ) and undermines gender justice within maqasid al-shariah. Feminist jurisprudence identifies the practice as instrumentalizing women for the interests of others. Novelty: The study integrates Jasser Auda’s maqasid framework with feminist jurisprudence, an approach rarely combined in prior research on muhallil marriage. Implications: The findings support the need for reformulating Islamic family law to ensure substantive protection of women’s rights while remaining grounded in the normative objectives of Islamic law. Highlights: The practice conflicts with the objective of preserving human dignity within Islamic legal principles. Gender injustice emerges through the treatment of women as legal instruments in marital arrangements. Integrating maqasid analysis with feminist legal theory offers a comprehensive framework for family law reform.

Abstract

General Background: Women’s participation in public economic activities has increased alongside evolving gender roles in Indonesian society, yet normative legal frameworks emphasize balanced rights and obligations within households. Specific Background: Female agricultural laborers in Ramban Kulon Village simultaneously engage in income-generating activities and domestic responsibilities, reflecting a complex interaction between socio-legal norms and rural realities. Knowledge Gap: Despite formal recognition of gender equality in Islamic family law and national legislation, discrepancies persist in the practical division of household roles, particularly in agrarian communities. Aims: This study aims to analyze the forms of problems experienced by female agricultural laborers and identify the social and economic factors contributing to these challenges. Results: Findings reveal excessive double workloads, limited recovery time, and unequal domestic role distribution, driven by patriarchal norms and unstable household income. Women’s economic participation does not alter domestic responsibilities, resulting in sustained role conflict and structural burden. Novelty: This study highlights the interaction between socio-cultural structures and economic necessity in shaping persistent dual role conditions among rural women within a socio-legal framework. Implications: The findings underscore the need for gender-responsive policies and community-based interventions addressing structural inequality and promoting equitable role distribution in rural households. Highlights: Simultaneous domestic and agricultural responsibilities create continuous physical and emotional strain. Patriarchal cultural norms maintain unequal household task allocation despite income contribution. Seasonal and unstable earnings drive women’s labor participation without shifting family role structures. Keywords: Women's Dual Roles, Farm Laborers, Family Problems
