Abstract

Divorce among Muslim families has become a growing phenomenon over the past few decades. Despite Islam's emphasis on the importance of family and marriage, many Muslim couples face difficulties in maintaining their marriages. This study aims to understand the reasons behind divorce among Muslim families. This qualitative study employed a phenomenological approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews with ten informants selected using purposive sampling. All informants were Muslim couples who had experienced divorce. In addition to in-depth interviews, the researcher also conducted document analysis from the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia from 2016 to 2024. All data were analyzed using thematic analysis techniques by Miles and Huberman. The study's findings indicate that the reasons behind divorce among Muslim families are complex and multifaceted. However, the most common reasons include continuous conflicts and quarrels, poor communication, domestic violence, differences in values and beliefs, economic pressure, and lack of knowledge on building a harmonious family. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the reasons behind divorce among Muslim families. The findings can also be used as a reference for developing more effective programs and services to prevent and address divorce among Muslim families

Abstract

Adolescents, as individuals in the transitional phase toward adulthood, are highly vulnerable to changes in the family environment, especially those resulting from parental divorce. This study is motivated by concerns over the increasing incidence of social dysfunction among adolescents from divorced families, such as declining academic performance, deviant behavior, and emotional disturbances. The study aims to analyze and describe in depth the impact of parental divorce on adolescents' social behavior, both from psychological and social perspectives, and to examine the issue through the lens of Islamic law. Additionally, this study aims to identify efforts that can be made to ensure that adolescents maintain good social and moral resilience after their parents' divorce. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The study was conducted on several adolescents from divorced families. Data analysis was performed through data reduction, data presentation, and inductive conclusion-drawing. The results of the study indicate that parental divorce has a significant impact on adolescents' social behavior. The implications of this study are the need for active roles from various parties, such as extended families, communities, schools, and religious institutions, to provide emotional and spiritual support to adolescents who are victims of divorce. Additionally, there is a need for regulations that strengthen parents' obligations in raising children post-divorce to ensure their healthy social and spiritual development. This study is expected to serve as an academic and practical reference in developing an inclusive social support system for adolescents affected by divorce.

Abstract

The increasing number of divorce cases in Ranah Pesisir District indicates that many couples lack adequate readiness and maturity in building a household. This suggests that the implementation of premarital counseling at the Office of Religious Affairs in Ranah Pesisir District has not been fully effective or optimal, as regulated by the Director General of Islamic Community Guidance Decree No. 379 of 2018 concerning the guidelines for premarital counseling. This study employs a field research method with a qualitative approach. The data sources include primary data obtained through interviews with the Head of the Office of Religious Affairs in Ranah Pesisir District and prospective brides and grooms who have participated in premarital counseling, as well as secondary data from theses, journals, and books discussing premarital counseling. The findings of this study are as follows: First, premarital counseling is highly important and urgent to be implemented optimally, as it has a significant impact on the preparedness of couples entering married life. Second, the implementation of the premarital counseling program at the Office of Religious Affairs in Ranah Pesisir District has generally provided benefits to prospective couples, although it has not yet fully complied with the regulations outlined in the Director General’s Decree No. 379 of 2018. Third, based on the analysis of five effectiveness indicators, the implementation of the premarital counseling program at the Office of Religious Affairs in Ranah Pesisir District is considered fairly good, but not yet fully effective according to the applicable regulatory standards.
