Abstract

This study examines family resilience among couples in South Jakarta where wives earn higher incomes than their husbands, analyzing communication patterns and role division through the Islamic perspectives of Mubadalah (reciprocity) and Qawwamah (guardianship). Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document reviews with 15 married couples in the Pesanggrahan sub-district, categorized into harmonious, conflict-prone, and divorced households. The findings reveal that family resilience is significantly influenced by open communication and equitable distribution of household responsibilities. Harmonious couples practicing Mubadalah principles demonstrated adaptability by reinterpreting roles, with husbands contributing to domestic tasks while wives served as primary earners, fostering mutual respect and emotional closeness. Conversely, households with rigid adherence to traditional gender roles experienced conflicts stemming from unclear role boundaries, emotional withdrawal, and husbands’ feelings of inadequacy, often leading to marital dissolution. The study underscores the need to reinterpret Qawwamah in a contextual light, emphasizing functional leadership grounded in emotional and spiritual support rather than solely in financial provision. It also highlights the relevance of the Islamic legal maxim taghayyur al-fatwa bi taghayyur al-zaman wa al-makan (legal rulings change with changing times and places) in accommodating contemporary socio-economic realities. The research contributes to understanding how Islamic values and modern gender dynamics intersect, offering insights for strengthening family resilience through enhanced communication, reciprocal role-sharing, and context-sensitive interpretations of religious teachings.

Abstract

This inquiry examines the legal standing of matrimonial unions contracted in the absence of a guardian within the landscape of officially unregistered polygamous arrangements, appraising them through the converging lenses of Islamic jurisprudential tradition and Indonesia's statutory architecture. Deploying a normative juridical methodology enriched by legislative, doctrinal, and case-oriented analytical pathways, the investigation draws upon Quranic scripture, Prophetic narrations, the national marriage statute of 1974, the codified Islamic legal compendium, and pertinent adjudications from religious tribunals accessible via the apex court's digital repository. The analysis substantiates the preponderant scholarly consensus, particularly in the Shafi'i tradition that pervades the Indonesian archipelago, that the guardian is a non-negotiable constituent of marital validity. National legislative provisions mirror this stance, rendering guardianless unions legally deficient. Concurrently, solemnizing a polygamous bond without spousal acquiescence and judicial endorsement contravenes multiple statutory imperatives. The investigation culminates in establishing that the confluence of these twin procedural shortcomings generates compounded juridical vulnerabilities: prospective retroactive nullification, erosion of spousal civil protections, and precarious legal standing for progeny.
