<![CDATA[This study analyzes the relevance of the obligation of maintenance (maintenance/support) in Islamic family law to the socio-economic changes of modern families. This study aims to analyze the regulation of the maintenance obligation in Islamic family law and Indonesian positive law, examine its relevance to the changing socio-economic conditions of modern families, and analyze the reinterpretation of maintenance obligations in achieving family justice and welfare. The study uses a normative legal method with statutory, conceptual, and analytical approaches by reviewing primary and secondary legal materials from the 2019–2024 period. The results show that the maintenance obligation remains the main responsibility of the husband based on Islamic law, Law Number 1 of 1974 on Marriage as amended by Law Number 16 of 2019, and the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI). Socio-economic changes demand a more contextual interpretation of maintenance, especially regarding education, health, and family welfare needs. A reinterpretation based on maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah, justice, and family partnership is necessary without eliminating the husband's primary responsibility.]]>
