Abstract

Death as a cause for the dissolution of marriage has been recognised in Indonesian family law, religious traditions, and customary practices, but its legal implications are often controversial especially in childless marriages because the lack of clarity regarding post-death authority often triggers disputes over funeral arrangements, burial locations, and inheritance. This study uses qualitative normative legal research with a comparative-integrative design. The corpus includes legislation (UUP No. 1/1974, KHI, Civil Code) and court decisions, religious texts and contemporary interpretations (Islamic–Christian), journal articles from 2021–2025 on the themes of grief/funeral rites/family relations, BPS data, and media documents. The analysis was conducted through doctrinal legal analysis, hermeneutics, content analysis and reflective thematic analysis, synthesised with a convergent-integrative model. The findings confirm a declarative–operational gap: the law states that death ends a marriage, but does not regulate in detail the authority to manage the body, determine the location, and conduct rites; this void is filled by customary/kinship claims that often marginalise spouses, especially widows in a patriarchal context. Theologically, there is consistency in respect for spouses, but cultural practices are not always in line with this. The consequences are damage to dignity, prolonged grief, and weakened community cohesion. This paper contributes an integrative framework of law, religion, ethics and society, an operational glossary, and a draft Post-Death Authority Determination Form (POP-K). Recommendations include implementing regulations that establish a hierarchy of authority with spouses as the primary holders (unless there is an authentic will), inter-agency SOPs, multi-level community mediation, and protection clauses for childless marriages. These findings reinforce the agenda of public literacy and dispute prevention.

Abstract

This study examines the protection of human rights in the context of arrest, detention, and judicial remedies from the perspectives of Islamic law and contemporary legal systems through a comparative analysis of Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. Employing a normative legal research method, the study draws upon authoritative legal sources, including international human rights instruments such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, as well as relevant national legislation in the three jurisdictions. The findings reveal distinct models in the integration of Islamic legal principles within state legal frameworks. Indonesia represents a constitutional democratic model with a relatively high degree of justiciability, reflected in robust judicial review mechanisms and stronger guarantees of due process. In contrast, Saudi Arabia embodies a centralized monarchical system, where judicial independence and oversight of administrative detention remain comparatively limited. Egypt, meanwhile, exhibits a hybrid model that combines civil law traditions with Islamic legal influences, resulting in a moderate level of judicial independence. Importantly, the study demonstrates that the alignment between core Islamic legal principles—such as justice (‘adl), the presumption of innocence, the prohibition of arbitrary detention, and access to legal remedies—and contemporary human rights standards is not merely normative; rather, it is operationalized through three key mechanisms: the contextual reinterpretation of fiqh, the codification of norms into national legislation, and the strengthening of judicial practices through rulings that uphold due process of law. This research contributes to the scholarly discourse by offering a comparative framework that bridges Islamic jurisprudence and modern human rights law, while also proposing practical pathways for legal harmonization. It recommends the systematic integration of Islamic legal values into contemporary human rights protection through adaptive reinterpretation, legislative reform, and the strengthening of judicial independence and institutional capacity.
