Abstract

This study examines the application of the kufu' (compatibility) principle in Islamic marriage law and its contribution to promoting social justice. The research aims to analyse how kufu', traditionally employed to ensure marital harmony by assessing equality in terms of religion, social status, and economics, is implemented in contemporary Muslim societies. The study uses a qualitative approach, gathering data through interviews with Islamic scholars, marriage counsellors, and couples, complemented by an extensive literature review. The findings indicate that while kufu' can enhance marital stability, its rigid interpretation in certain contexts has led to gender and class discrimination. As societies evolve, there is an increasing need to reinterpret this principle to include compatibility with emotional, psychological, and personal values beyond mere social or economic equality. The study concludes that kufu' remains relevant but requires adaptation to modern values of justice and equality to ensure fair and stable marriages, contributing to broader discussions on justice within Islamic family law.
