Abstract

Generative artificial intelligence has made realistic synthetic audio, images, and video increasingly accessible, creating new risks when manipulated media is used within intimate and family relationships. This study examines deepfake-based cyber-domestic violence as a problem for Islamic family law and for the assessment of electronic evidence in Indonesia's Religious Courts. It uses qualitative library research with normative, philosophical, and socio-technological approaches, drawing on authoritative Islamic sources, Indonesian legal materials, and peer-reviewed scholarship on deepfakes, technology-facilitated abuse, digital forensics, and Islamic AI ethics. The analysis indicates that non-consensual intimate deepfakes, voice cloning, and fabricated digital records can intensify coercive control, damage personal and family honor, and complicate judicial assessment of authenticity. The study reconstructs al-bayyinah for the digital environment through three linked evidentiary dimensions: metadata and provenance integrity, documented chain of custody, and forensic expert assessment when authenticity is disputed. This framework is interpreted through hifz al-'ird, hifz al-nafs, tabayyun, and sadd al-dhari'ah, while distinguishing current Indonesian law from the reforms proposed by the author. The study concludes that Religious Courts require clearer procedures for contested synthetic evidence and closer coordination between family-law remedies, digital-forensic practice, and victim protection.
