Abstract

This paper strives to investigate dynamic interplays among the state, religious authority, and human rights surrounding early marriage among Muslims in contemporary Indonesia. More specifically, this paper will address the following problems: (a) how do religious authorities respond to the cases of early marriage in Indonesia; (b) what kind of religious understanding should be developed to prevent early marriage in Indonesia; (c) how do religious judges exert their agency in preventing early marriage in Indonesia amidst the pressure of state, religion, and human rights. This research employs a qualitative methodology, including interviews with religious scholars and judges and analyzing legal documents. The finding of the research states that while some religious authorities advocate early marriage based on conservative interpretations, progressive scholars argue for delaying marriage to safeguard children's health and rights. In addition, a more context-sensitive understanding, rooted in maqasid al-sharia (objectives of Islamic law), is essential for preventing early marriage. Religious judges, meanwhile, play a pivotal role in navigating social, legal, and religious pressures, especially in cases involving pre-marital pregnancies in Indonesia. This study contributes to the sociology and politics of Islamic law, most notably in unravelling the complexity of power relations among the state, religious authority, and human rights regarding underage marriage.

Abstract

This study examines the growing significance of eco-Islamic spirituality in Australia, particularly in the post-pandemic context where environmental awareness and faith-based initiatives have gained renewed attention. The study addresses two main questions: How Sufi communities in Australia conceptualize and integrate spirituality with ecological awareness, and How they contribute to environmental protection policies and sustainability initiatives. Focusing on three Sufi orders-the Inayat Khan, the Nimatullahi, and the Ansari-this research employs qualitative field methods, including content analysis of teachings, community documents, and observations of spiritual-ecological practices, informed by Corbetta’s framework of social research. The findings indicate that these communities share a common spiritual framework for responding to ecological challenges. Their environmental engagement is grounded in Islamic ethical principles articulated by their leaders, including tauhîd (divine unity), khilâfah (stewardship), amânah (trustworthiness), mîzân (cosmic balance), Khidmah (service), and tazkiyah (spiritual transformation). These principles are translated into concrete practices such as eco-retreats, permaculture projects, waterconservation initiatives, and the use of renewable energy technologies, including solar panels. By linking spiritual teachings with practical ecological initiatives, Australian Sufi communities demonstrate how grassroots religious movements can contribute to environmental sustainability and support broader environmental governance agendas.
