<![CDATA[This study aims to reveal the limitations and implications of legal exclusivism on protecting human rights, particularly freedom of religion, the right to choose a spouse, and the protection of vulnerable groups in Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative approach with critical document and literature analysis methods, placing legal products and state policies as the main objects of study with a synthesis between political theory and the theory of social construction of Islamic law. The results indicate that Indonesia remains trapped in a cycle of compromise between religious conservatism and constitutional promises regarding human rights, resulting in the law often serving as a tool to restrict rather than protect diversity. The state's reliance on majority interpretations and the postponement of legislative reform not only perpetuate discrimination against individuals who choose different ways of life but also threaten social integration and reduce the meaning of religious freedom to narrow administrative spaces. However, amidst challenges and resistance from conservative groups, there is an opportunity to reconstruct the family law paradigm by reaffirming commitment to substantive justice, pluralism, and respect for individual rights, so that the state can establish a legal system that is truly inclusive and fair for all its citizens without exception.]]>
