Abstract

The internet has contributed to the rise of various authorities over religion and law, as a result of the widespread use of digital instruments by religious elites to transmit their knowledge of virtue. Therefore, religious-based legal opinions are easily disseminated through social media. This article discusses video content related to polygamy that is delivered by preachers on YouTube channels. The discussion revolves around the legal aspects of polygamy described by the YouTube preachers to see the extent to which the polygamous content provides an understanding to the Indonesian public about polygamy law and its relation to the protection of women's rights. Data was collected through content analysis of either monologue or dialogue from popular preachers. This article argues that classical fiqh narratives of polygamy remain the tenet of the content about the polygamy landscape on YouTube. It does not significantly represent Indonesia's marriage law and arguably has not provided progressive protection for women’s rights. Most of the principles and arguments used lead to the nobility of polygamy, women's patience, maintaining the integrity of the household, and prohibiting breaking the Sharia.[Internet telah berkontribusi pada munculnya berbagai otoritas atas agama dan hukum, sebagai akibat dari maraknya penggunaan instrumen digital oleh para elit agama untuk mentransmisikan pengetahuan mereka tentang kebajikan. Oleh karena itu, opini hukum berbasis agama mudah disebarluaskan melalui media sosial. Artikel ini membahas tentang konten video terkait poligami yang dibawakan oleh para da'i di kanal YouTube. Pembahasan mencakup aspek hukum poligami yang dipaparkan oleh para da'i YouTube untuk melihat sejauh mana konten poligami memberikan pemahaman kepada masyarakat Indonesia tentang hukum poligami dan kaitannya dengan perlindungan hak-hak perempuan. Data dikumpulkan melalui analisis isi baik monolog maupun dialog dari da’i populer. Artikel ini berpendapat bahwa narasi fikih klasik tentang poligami tetap menjadi inti konten tentang poligami di YouTube. Itu sama sekali tidak merepresentasikan hukum perkawinan menurut negara dan bisa disimpulkan belum memberikan perlindungan yang progresif bagi hak-hak perempuan. Sebagian besar prinsip dan dalil yang digunakan antara lain kesabaran perempuan, menjaga keutuhan rumah tangga, dan melarang melanggar syariat—yang pada akhirnya, semua opini itu diarahkan untuk meluhurkan poligami itu sendiri.]

Abstract

This article explores the issue of ethnographic-based interlegality of living fiqh in Minangkabau marriage practices. The purpose is to explain the uniqueness of negotiation and the embodiment of Islamic jurisprudence within Minangkabau socio-cultural settings. This study emphasizes the cognitive biases of the dichotomy between local-global, peripheral-central, and traditional-modern. The data examined came from the experience of the Minangkabau community in internalizing Islamic marriage law as a living legal practice, ranging from the marriage procedure, marriage contract, walimah, mediation, to divorce. This research collected, analyzed, and interpreted empirical legal data that reveals the integration of Islamic, customary and state legal norms in marriage practice. The findings of this study show the existence of a legal tripartite legal construction: first, the practice of customary marriage formed by Islamic jurisprudence. Second, the awareness of Islamic law is influenced by customary law. Third, the regulatory intervention of the state that wants the formation of harmonization between customs and Islam. This study has implications for living fiqh literacy which shows the universal principles of sharia law in cross-cultural life.

Abstract

The increasing reliance on non-litigation mechanisms to resolve marital disputes, particularly mediation at the Religious Affairs Office (KUA), reflects a significant shift in contemporary practice in Islamic family law in Indonesia. Within this institutional setting, penghulus serve simultaneously as state officials and religious authorities who interpret and apply legal norms within dynamic social contexts. This article provides a socio-legal analysis of mediation practices at the KUA of East Pontianak, with particular attention to the legal reasoning employed by penghulus in addressing marital conflicts. Drawing on qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews and institutional document analysis, the study finds that marital disputes typically arise from complex interactions involving fragile communication, gendered role asymmetries, and economic pressures—factors that significantly shape mediation dynamics. The mediation process unfolds through systematic yet flexible stages (pre-mediation, core mediation, and post-mediation), enabling penghulus to tailor their strategies to the emotional, social, and moral circumstances of the disputing parties. The findings demonstrate that penghulus employ an integrative form of legal reasoning that synthesizes Islamic legal norms, state law, local cultural values, and psychosocial considerations to construct persuasive arguments and facilitate reconciliation. This article argues that these practices constitute a form of living legal reasoning that reflects the mediators’ legal consciousness, wherein multiple legal and social norms are renegotiated to produce mutually agreed, restorative, and welfare-oriented outcomes. [Meningkatnya penggunaan mekanisme non-litigasi dalam penyelesaian sengketa perkawinan, khususnya mediasi di Kantor Urusan Agama (KUA), mencerminkan pergeseran penting dalam praktik hukum keluarga Islam kontemporer di Indonesia. Dalam konteks kelembagaan tersebut, para penghulu berperan ganda sebagai aktor negara sekaligus otoritas keagamaan yang menafsirkan dan menerapkan norma hukum dalam situasi sosial yang dinamis. Artikel ini menyajikan analisis sosio-legal terhadap praktik mediasi di KUA Kecamatan Pontianak Timur, dengan fokus pada bentuk penalaran hukum yang digunakan oleh para penghulu ketika menangani sengketa rumah tangga. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif melalui wawancara mendalam dan analisis dokumen kelembagaan, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa sengketa perkawinan umumnya muncul dari interaksi berlapis antara kerentanan komunikasi, ketidakseimbangan peran gender, dan tekanan ekonomi, sejumlah faktor yang membentuk dinamika mediasi secara signifikan. Proses mediasi berlangsung melalui tahapan pra-mediasi, inti mediasi, dan pasca-mediasi yang sistematis namun fleksibel, sehingga memungkinkan para penghulu menyesuaikan strategi dengan kondisi emosional, sosial, dan moral para pihak yang berselisih. Selain itu, temuan penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa para penghulu menerapkan model penalaran hukum integratif yang menggabungkan norma hukum Islam, hukum negara, nilai budaya lokal, serta pertimbangan psikososial untuk membangun argumentasi hukum dan memfasilitasi rekonsiliasi. Artikel ini berargumen bahwa praktik mediasi tersebut merupakan bentuk penalaran hukum hidup yang mencerminkan kesadaran hukum para mediator, di mana beragam norma hukum dan sosial dinegosiasikan kembali untuk menghasilkan kesepakatan yang restoratif, disepakati bersama, dan berorientasi pada kemaslahatan.]
