Abstract

This article examines the complex relationship between early marriage and divorce in Indonesia, a phenomenon that continues to generate significant social, cultural, and economic implications. The study aims to identify the structural and individual factors driving early marriage and its role in increasing vulnerability to divorce, as well as to highlight the broader impacts on education, reproductive health, and social welfare. Employing a systematic literature review approach, the analysis was conducted through a comprehensive search of open-access academic journals, using inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure the credibility and relevance of selected studies. The findings reveal that early marriage often correlates with limited educational attainment, gender inequality, financial instability, and insufficient reproductive health knowledge, all of which contribute to higher divorce rates. Furthermore, the review shows that cultural norms, legal inconsistencies, and the lack of effective policy implementation exacerbate the sustainability challenges of early-age marriages. This study contributes theoretically by deepening the discourse on early marriage and divorce as interconnected issues within family sociology and public health, while practically providing insights for policymakers to design preventive and empowerment-based interventions.

Abstract

This study examines conditional debt practices between collectors (fish buyers) and fishermen in Tanjung Solok Village, Kuala Jambi Subdistrict, a traditional economic relationship rooted in urgent livelihood needs yet prone to contractual inequities from an Islamic law perspective. The primary objective is to analyze how these conditional lending arrangements are executed and to assess their validity under Islamic legal principles. Employing a qualitative socio-legal (legal empiricism) approach, the research integrates field data collected through interviews, direct observation, and documentary review with normative analysis grounded in muamalah theory and contemporary contract principles in Islamic finance. Findings reveal that transactions are predominantly oral, lack written agreements or formal witnesses, and commonly impose a requirement to resell catches to the collectors at prices below prevailing market rates, producing a structural imbalance in bargaining power. Normative analysis indicates that such practices conflict with the Islamic tenets of contractual clarity, distributive justice, and the prohibition of exploitative gains. The study contributes empirically and conceptually to Islamic legal scholarship by bridging muamalah theory and ground-level practice, and it offers a foundation for community-level syariah-compliant interventions and policy measures to protect economically vulnerable fisher cohorts.

Abstract

This study examines the role of the Kantor Urusan Agama (KUA) in controlling and supervising the halal status of products at the local level, using KUA Mendahara (Mendahara Ilir subdistrict) as a case study. Motivated by persistent implementation challenges in Indonesia’s Halal Product Assurance system, the research aims to clarify how KUA contributes to ensuring that halal certification follows regulatory requirements and how it monitors certified products in practice. Employing a qualitative case-study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct field observation, and document analysis, and were analyzed thematically. Findings reveal four principal functions performed by KUA: disseminating information and conducting outreach on halal certification; providing technical guidance and administrative assistance to MSMEs during the certification process; coordinating cross-institutional activities with BPJPH, MUI, and local health authorities; and carrying out post-certification monitoring through field visits and administrative checks. The study demonstrates that KUA operates as a critical institutional intermediary between national policy and local practice. Theoretically, the research extends institutional perspectives to religious local institutions in halal governance; practically, it offers evidence-based recommendations to strengthen KUA capacity and interagency collaboration to improve the effectiveness and sustainability of Indonesia’s halal assurance system.
