Abstract

The emergence of the Hakekok Balakasuta teaching in Pandeglang Regency, Indonesia, has raised concerns due to its deviation from mainstream Islamic teachings, particularly in the interpretation of ahkam (legal) verses in the Quran. Rooted in the Sunda Wiwitan belief system and founded by Arya in 2021, this spiritual group promotes practices that contradict orthodox Islam, such as altering the shahada (declaration of faith), deeming the five daily prayers non-obligatory, and introducing unconventional rituals, including communal bathing without proper attire, as a form of purification. The primary issues revolve around distorted interpretations of worship practices, including prayer, fasting, zakat (alms), and purification, which misalign with Quranic injunctions and lead to potential religious fragmentation in the community. This study aims to examine the forms of distortion in interpreting ahkam verses within Hakekok Balakasuta teachings and identify the underlying causes. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach rooted in Living Qur'an studies, the research utilized direct observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation as primary data sources from Karangbolong, Pandeglang Regency. Secondary data were drawn from books, journals, tafsirs (Quranic commentaries), and relevant literature. Findings reveal specific distortions, such as viewing prayer as optional rather than obligatory, fasting practices diverging from Islamic norms, and the communal bathing ritual as self-purification, which lacks a scriptural basis. Contributing factors include economic hardships, low educational levels, and insufficient religious awareness among followers. The study highlights the importance of enhancing Islamic education to prevent such deviations and promote accurate Quranic interpretation.

Abstract

The issue of polygamy in Indonesia remains a sensitive matter that often causes legal, social, and psychological problems, especially when the practice is carried out without fulfilling the principles of justice and legal procedures. The impact not only causes vulnerability for wives, but also threatens the fulfillment of children's rights, such as the right to identity, education, and protection from discrimination. This study aims to analyze the role of family law in preventing problematic polygamy while strengthening the protection of children's rights in Indonesia. The research method used is normative legal research with a legislative and conceptual approach, supplemented by an analysis of religious court practices. The results show that family law plays an important role in preventing problematic polygamy for the sake of justice and welfare. Polygamy is permitted in Islam on the condition of fairness, but in practice it often harms women and children. Family law serves to regulate and protect vulnerable parties in the family for the sake of child-oriented social justice. Furthermore, family law in Indonesia plays an important role in protecting children's rights from the effects of problematic polygamy, divorce, and parental neglect. Protection is provided through the strengthening of marriage and birth registration regulations, the optimization of the role of religious courts by considering the interests of children, and the digitization of legal services to facilitate access and prevent unregistered marriages.
