<![CDATA[The issue of reproductive justice in Indonesia highlights a gap between state regulations, religious perspectives, and social realities. Although Law No. 17 of 2023 on Health guarantees every individual’s right to reproductive health services without discrimination, male participation in family planning programs—particularly vasectomies—remains low and is influenced by social stigma. This study aims to analyze the relationship between these regulations and the principles of reproductive justice, examine Islamic legal perspectives through Faqihuddin Abdul Kodir's Mubadalah Theory, and understand public perceptions in Indramayu regarding vasectomy. This study employed a qualitative, socio-legal approach, using interviews with religious leaders, the Head of the Family Planning Division at the DPPKB PPPA, family planning medical staff at community health centers, and vasectomy recipients, and supported by statistical data from the 2024–2025 family planning program. The results of the study indicate that, normatively, vasectomy has gained religious legitimacy based on the principle of public welfare, while state policies have provided services and counseling. Empirical data show an increase in male sterilization procedure recipients from 2 individuals (2024) to 9 individuals (2025), yet this remains far below female sterilization procedures, which reached 106 (2024) and 259 (2025), reflecting strong gender bias and cultural barriers. The contribution of this study lies in integrating health law analysis, the Mubadalah Theory perspective, and empirical community data to explain male participation in family planning. These findings affirm that vasectomy is an instrument for the redistribution of reproductive responsibilities and the realization of relational justice within the family.
