Abstract

In 2022, Saudi Arabia introduced the Personal Status Law (PSL) as part of its Vision 2030 reforms, promoting it as a milestone for women’s rights, particularly in marriage, divorce, and custody. However, critical analysis suggests that the PSL maintains deeply entrenched patriarchal norms legitimized through conservative interpretations of Islamic jurisprudence. Despite claims of progress, the law’s ambiguous language and retention of male guardianship structures raise concerns about its substantive impact on gender equality. This study aims to critically examine the PSL not merely as a legal document but as a political and cultural instrument reinforcing hierarchical gender relations. Employing a qualitative approach grounded in feminist legal theory and socio-legal analysis, this research applies documentary analysis to the PSL text, ministerial decrees, human rights reports, and academic literature. Thematic content analysis is used to uncover discursive patterns that normalize gender bias. Findings reveal that the PSL functions as a strategic, symbolic reform rather than a transformative legal change. While it introduces limited rights—such as minimum marriage age and partial custody protections—it perpetuates male authority through legal ambiguity and judicial discretion. This study contributes to scholarly discourse by situating the PSL within broader frameworks of authoritarian governance and cultural patriarchy. It highlights the limits of legal empowerment when reforms are disconnected from societal transformation and grassroots engagement, offering insights into how state-led modernization can simultaneously promote and constrain women’s rights.

Abstract

his research aims to determine the relationship between vocabulary mastery and grammar proficiency on the descriptive writing skills of second-grade students at the Islamic High School of Miftahul Qulub in Polagan. This study is a post-facto research involving a sample of 40 students. Data were collected through tests measuring vocabulary and grammar mastery, as well as descriptive writing ability. The data analysis techniques employed include product-moment correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis, with a significance level set at 5%. The findings reveal: (1) a positive and significant relationship between vocabulary mastery and descriptive writing ability, with a correlation coefficient of 0.445; (2) a positive and significant relationship between grammar mastery and descriptive writing ability, with a correlation coefficient of 0.554; (3) a positive and significant relationship between vocabulary and grammar mastery combined on descriptive writing ability, with a value of 12.225 and a regression coefficient of 0.631. This indicates that the higher the students’ mastery of vocabulary and grammar, the better their ability to write descriptive texts. This finding reinforces the theory that language proficiency serves as a crucial foundation in developing productive skills such as writing, and contributes to the development of Arabic writing instruction strategies that emphasize systematic mastery of linguistic elements.
