Abstract

Dowry is a fundamental element in Islamic marriage that has legal, social and philosophical significance. In Islamic law, dowry is an obligation that must be given by the husband to the wife as a form of respect and proof of commitment in marriage. The dowry also serves as a financial protection for women, especially in societies where men are the main breadwinners. From a sociological perspective, dowry reflects social status, gender relations, and cultural norms that develop in society. However, in some cases, the size of the dowry can become an economic burden for the prospective husband and hinder the marriage. From a philosophical perspective, the dowry reflects respect for women's dignity and moral responsibility in marriage. The dowry is not a medium of exchange in the marriage contract, but a manifestation of justice, balance, and respect for rights and obligations in the household. The ideal dowry concept must consider the principles of justice and welfare for both parties, without being an instrument of exploitation or domination. This research uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method to understand the role and meaning of dowry in legal, social and philosophical contexts. The results show that dowry has complex social and moral dimensions, which need to be understood in the context of the culture and dynamics of modern society. Therefore, a more flexible understanding of dowry is needed so that it remains relevant to the times, without losing its essential values in Islam. Legal regulations and social norms related to dowry should be based on the principle of balance, so that marriage can take place with values that support justice, harmony and prosperity for both parties.

Abstract

Besides, professional migration is coping with the uncertainty of climate change, as many fishers have begun to seek side jobs and even migrate outside the region or abroad in order to seek higher and more stable incomes. Climate alteration alters fish catches; thus, it affects the economic aspect of fishers. Scientific research refers to the impacts of ocean temperature changes and changes in fish migratory patterns as the reasons that affect the availability of marine resources. This paper discusses the climate change and professional change induced within the community of Jerowaru, East Lombok, because of the socio-economic impacts. The fluctuating migration flow and climatic factors are the main factors that influence the socio-economic livelihoods of fishermen in Jerowaru. Most of them migrate to other areas for survival; there is searching for a better source of employment. This profession also came up as an immigrant worker in response to the always deteriorating financial future. Younger family members and most fishermen are migrating abroad and to the surrounding areas due to greater career opportunities. These non-migrating people hardly can switch over to other gainful employments and, for that purpose migrate to lobster farms for work or to gardens in order to start some other high-return businesses. The current research has been performed within 6 months by incorporating qualitative data as well as the case study approach. Data collection was done through participant observation as well as through in-depth interviews and FGDs with documentation.
