Abstract

Digital transformation has made the internet an arena for contests over religious authority in Indonesia, particularly in the discourse on Islamic family law. This study investigates the construction of narratives on husband-wife relations on three mainstream Islamic websites: Muslim.or.id, Rumaysho.com, and NU Online. Using a qualitative content analysis within a legal paradigm, this study examines ideological polarization between conservative and moderate views. The findings show that Muslim.or.id and Rumaysho.com represent a conservative-textualist paradigm that perpetuates patriarchal hierarchy and the domestication of women, which often conflicts with the spirit of equality in positive law. In contrast, NU Online articulates a moderate-contextualist paradigm that promotes the principles of partnership (mubādalah) and gender justice. This study concludes that the Indonesian Islamic digital landscape is marked by a fierce battle between textual orthodoxy and contextual reinterpretation, which has significant implications for public perceptions of family norms and gender justice.
