Abstract

The expansion of oil palm plantations in the Borneo region over the past few decades has generated intense debate concerning its ecological impacts, including deforestation, biodiversity loss, forest fires, and land-use change. This article aims to analyze this phenomenon through a thematic (maudhu‘i) exegetical approach to Qur’anic verses related to the environment, particularly the concepts of fasād fī al-arḍ (corruption on earth), the mandate of human vicegerency (amānah al-khilāfah), and the principle of balance (mīzān). This study employs a qualitative library-based research design using thematic exegesis by collecting relevant verses, examining their asbāb al-nuzūl (occasions of revelation) and munāsabah (textual coherence), and analyzing them through the lens of Islamic ecotheology and contemporary literature on ecological crisis. The findings indicate that the Qur’an normatively prohibits all forms of exploitation that result in systemic damage to ecosystems. The concept of fasād encompasses not only moral corruption but also ecological destruction caused by human excess and transgression (isrāf and ṭughyān). In the context of Borneo, oil palm expansion becomes problematic when its practices disregard principles of sustainability, ecological justice, and the ethical responsibility inherent in human vicegerency. Nevertheless, the Qur’an does not categorically reject economic activity; rather, it emphasizes maintaining a balance between resource utilization and environmental preservation. This study contributes to the advancement of Islamic ecotheological discourse by positioning thematic exegesis as a normative framework for assessing natural resource–based development practices. The findings underscore the urgency of integrating Qur’anic ethics into oil palm plantation management policies to ensure alignment with sustainability principles and ecological responsibility.

Abstract

The phrase “urgent reasons” in Indonesian marriage dispensation law is normatively open yet operationally undefined, creating interpretive space that contributes to disparities in judicial decisions. While prior studies explain these disparities through regulatory weakness or judicial discretion, they rarely examine how such normative ambiguity is socially reproduced through judicial practice. Addressing this gap, this study analyses how judges construct the meaning of “urgent reasons” in pregnancy-related marriage dispensation cases and how this process reflects the interaction between legal structure and local social norms. Using a socio-legal approach, the research examines 43 decisions (2020-2025) from the Pangkalan Bun Religious Court and in-depth interviews with three judges.Drawing on Anthony Giddens’ Structuration Theory, the study argues that normative ambiguity does not merely generate discretion but operates as a structuration mechanism through which judges reproduce and negotiate legal meaning inconcrete cases. The findings reveal three dominant interpretive patterns: (1) urgency as moral restoration and protection of family honour, (2) urgency as safeguarding the best interests of the child, and (3) urgency as maintaining religious and social stability. These patterns demonstrate that judicial disparities stem not from inconsistency but from the activation of different normative orientations when judges confront ambiguous legal structures within a specific socio-cultural context.Theoretically, this study contributes to socio-legal scholarship by showing how vague legal norms function as institutional media for the reproduction of legal pluralism through judicial agency. Practically, the findings highlight the need for clearer operational guidelinessuch as minimum age thresholds, psychological assessment standards, and child protection recommendations, to balance legal certainty, judicial discretion, and child rights protection in marriage dispensation policy.
