<![CDATA[The determination of child custody for working mothers is a critical issue in Indonesian family law, particularly given the dual roles women assume in modern society. This study examines from a normative juridical perspective how the principles of Maqasid al-Shari’ah and positive law in Indonesia regulate and respond to the determination of child custody when the mother is employed. Employing a literature review and legal analysis of relevant legislation and case studies, the findings reveal that Maqasid al-Shari’ah emphasizes the best interests and protection of the child, while Indonesian positive law provides comprehensive legal frameworks.
