Abstract

This study examines the phenomenon of tajdid nikah (renewal of the marriage contract) among Muslim couples in Giriklopomulyo Village, Sekampung District, East Lampung Regency, with a focus on cases involving pregnancy prior to the official marriage. Although both Islamic law and the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) Article 53 confirm that such marriages are valid without requiring re-contracting, tajdid nikah remains prevalent due to societal pressure, cultural norms, and insufficient legal literacy. Using a qualitative case study approach with data from interviews, documentation, and field observations, this research systematically analyzes five key dimensions: the definition of tajdid nikah, local chronology of its practice, its legal interpretation under KHI, contemporary ulama perspectives, and its relevance within the framework of maslahah mursalah. The findings show that tajdid nikah is often pursued not for legal necessity but to achieve psychological relief, family acceptance, and perceived social legitimacy. While some scholars tolerate the practice as a form of precaution (ihtiyat), most ulama assert that it is unnecessary if the first marriage contract was valid. In terms of maslahah mursalah, tajdid nikah can be viewed as beneficial when it reduces stigma and promotes harmony but may be harmful if it reinforces public misconceptions about Islamic legal norms. Therefore, tajdid nikah should not be institutionalized as a religious obligation, and broader legal education is needed to align community practices with sharia principles and Indonesian legal standards.

Abstract

This article critically examines issues of gender justice in marriage dispensation cases through an in-depth analysis of the Tanjungkarang Religious Court Decision No. 131/Pdt.P/2024/PA.Tnk. The petition for marriage dispensation was rejected on procedural grounds due to the petitioners’ absence, despite the urgent circumstances involving an underage girl who was pregnant. This study seeks to assess whether the judicial reasoning and outcome reflect substantive justice and provide adequate legal protection for vulnerable female parties. Employing a normative juridical approach and drawing on the reciprocity (Mubādalah) theory developed by Faqihuddin Abdul Kodir, the decision is analyzed both textually and contextually. The findings indicate that the legal reasoning remains predominantly procedural and insufficiently responsive to women’s lived experiences, thereby marginalizing their position as legal subjects. The reciprocity perspective offers an ethical and jurisprudential alternative that repositions women as active, equal, and reciprocal participants in legal relationships. This research contributes to the advancement of a more just, inclusive, and socially responsive framework of Islamic family law and advocates for the incorporation of reciprocity principles into judicial practice to enhance gender-sensitive adjudication.
