<![CDATA[Maintenance neglect is a fundamental marital violation and a primary factor in high divorce rates. Currently, normative clashes exist between the classical fiqh approach in the Compilation of Islamic Law, such as the nusyuz concept, and the absolute penal regime in the Elimination of Domestic Violence Act. Furthermore, wives forced to file for divorce lawsuits often face post-divorce financial injustice. This normative research aims to analyze the integration of fiqh and Indonesian positive law to provide comprehensive legal protection for wives. Utilizing statutory and conceptual approaches based on Maqashid al-Shari'ah, the findings highlight the urgency for a gender-neutral reconstruction of nusyuz that includes the husband's nusyuz.
