Abstract

Marriage without the consent of one parent is a complex phenomenon in Islamic family law, raising a variety of legal, social, and cultural questions. In this context, the role of the guardian as a determinant of marriage consent is crucial, because the guardian is responsible not only to protect the interests of the bride-to-be, but also to ensure the validity of the marriage law. However, in practice, there are variations in interpretation among Islamic schools regarding the necessity of guardian consent, creating challenges in the consistency of universal application of Islamic family law. The issue also highlights the conflict between the individual's right to choose his or her own life partner and the social and traditional expectations that require parental consent. This study aims to investigate the legal, social, and psychological implications of marriage without the consent of one parent in the context of Islamic family law, as well as to explore the role of religious courts in resolving disputes that arise.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of maqashid sharia objective factors on the income and expenditure of Indonesian people, using the Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) approach analysis. The sample of this study consisted of Indonesian people who are Muslim, including those of productive age and have income to analyze and identify the relationship between maqashid sharia factors both in income and in their respective expenses. The results of the study indicate that maintaining religion (Al-din) has a positive and significant impact on both income and expenditure. Meanwhile, maintaining property (Al-mal) has been shown to have a substantial effect on income, but not on expenditure. Maintaining reason (Al-aql) also shows a significant impact on income, but not on expenditure. On the other hand, maintaining descendants (An-nasl) does not show a substantial effect on finances, either in terms of income or expenditure. Maintaining the soul (An-nafs) has a significant effect on expenditure, but not on income. Overall, this study found that income has a significant influence on expenditure, indicating that effective income management is very important in the financial management of Muslim individuals in Indonesia

Abstract

The interpretation of the Al-Quran cannot be separated from the series of links in the chain of interpretive narrations, as well as its maintenance from the Prophet's time until now. The Tabi'in Interpretation Period cannot be separated from the series of Interpretation journeys, the style of Tafsir at this time was motivated by the expansion of Islamic territory so that ulama at this time also spread to madrasas such as Mecca, Medina and Iraq. In Mecca the Ulama who initiated it was Abdullah Ibn Abbas, followed by several famous students including Sa'ad bin Jubair, Mujahid bin Jubair, Ikrimah Maula Ibn Abas, Thawus bin Kisan, and Atha'bin Abi Rabah. At this time, many interpretations had a riwayah style, but several interpretations emerged with ra'yu.

Abstract

This study explores the history of perdikan as the precursor of pesantren in Indonesia. Perdikan was initially an autonomous region serving as a center of education based on local wisdom. However, the process of Islamization transformed perdikan into a formal religious educational institution, known as pesantren. This research employs a library research method to analyze this transformation.The findings reveal that Islamization brought significant changes to the educational system in perdikan, shifting its focus from local customs to Islamic teachings. Pesantren later evolved into centers of moral, social, and economic education, playing a crucial role in the dissemination of Islam and community development. Moreover, pesantren demonstrated remarkable adaptability to modern demands, integrating contemporary curricula without losing their traditional values.

Abstract

Children as the nation's next generation have an important role in national development. However, children involved in crime are often overlooked in legal protection. This research aims to explore the synchronization of the rights of children who commit crimes in Indonesian positive law, as well as analyzing the application of legal provisions by law enforcement officials. The research method used is normative juridical with a descriptive approach, involving the analysis of secondary data from legislation and jurisprudence. The results showed that there was a lack of conformity in the legal protection of child offenders, as well as the need for harmonization of regulations to ensure that children's rights were met. The recommendations of this study are the need for awareness-raising and more effective implementation of legal protection for children, as well as strengthening the role of society and government in supporting optimal child development.

Abstract

Economic stability is the main pillar in building a sakinah family. In this regard, economic stability in today's society is affected by online loans. The risks caused by online lending affect the psychological, social, and even emotional conditions in household life, and can further affect household harmony. This research will explore the form of online lending practices and analyze the impact of online lending on household harmony in West Lombok Regency. The research was conducted using a qualitative method. The results of the research found First: Layered Motivation signifies that Muslim families resort to online loans as a result of a mix of urgent circumstances, economic strain, insufficient literacy, and restricted access to conventional banking. Second: Multidimensional Impact suggests that online loans not only harm the economy but also dismantle the social, psychological, and spiritual structures of Muslim families. Third: Destructive Cycle demonstrates that online loans establish a vicious cycle where financial remedies worsen issues and undermine family unity. Fourth: Crisis of Religious Identity emphasizes that engagement in usury generates spiritual discord and jeopardizes the passing down of Islamic values to subsequent generations. Fifth: Systemic Vulnerability indicates that rural populations are at risk of online loan exploitation due to inadequate digital financial literacy and limited availability of Sharia-compliant financial services.

Abstract

The increase in divorce reflects changes in society, which no longer considers divorce to be taboo, but rather a common phenomenon. This study aims to identify the factors causing divorce in the Selong Religious Court from a gender perspective and to analyze divorce rulings in the Selong Religious Court from the perspective of mubadalah theory. This study is a field study using a case study and legal-empirical approach, with primary data collected from court decisions and interviews with judges, as well as secondary data from legal references. The results of the study reveal that the factors causing divorce at the Selong Religious Court are economic problems, domestic violence, alcohol or drug dependence, neglect of one party, and prolonged disputes. The rulings in these cases align with the theory of mubadalah, encompassing five mutually supportive pillars: establishing a strong agreement as a trust from God, upholding the principles of partnership and reciprocity, regularly consulting with one another, treating each other with kindness, and creating comfort in interacting with one another.

Abstract

Islam is a perfect religion that governs all aspects of life, including choosing a spouse and determining the right time to marry. However, given the high divorce rate in Indonesia, particularly in Jember, as indicated by data from the Central Statistics Agency at the beginning of 2023, where 6,000 residents of Jember filed for divorce, this signifies the unpreparedness of married couples regarding their rights and obligations in fulfilling their duties. This situation serves as the basis for conducting pre-marriage counseling at SMK Tunas Bangsa regarding determining the appropriate time to marry. Pre-marriage counseling involves systematic guidance and support to help students understand the best time to start a family and build confidence in preparing systematically for marriage if they wish to proceed. This study was conducted using a pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design, involving a pretest, followed by counseling, and then a posttest. The results of the counseling showed an increase in students' knowledge regarding tips for finding the right partner for marriage according to Islamic perspectives.

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of the responsibility of the Regional Government of Kepulauan Meranti in supporting the independence of Persons with Mental Disorders (ODGJ), based on Government Regulation No. 28 of 2024 as the implementing regulation of Law No. 17 of 2023 on Health, with additional insights from the perspective of Islamic law. The research applies a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that the regional government, through the local Health Office, Social Affairs Office, and Regional General Hospital, has initiated various mental health programs. However, these efforts still encounter significant challenges, such as the shortage of professional mental health workers, limited budget allocation, and geographical barriers of the archipelagic region that hinder service accessibility. Another pressing issue is the limited capacity of families to provide adequate care for ODGJ. Existing initiatives include primary-level mental health services and cross-sector coordination, yet their effectiveness remains suboptimal. From the perspective of Islamic law, ensuring the rights and protection of ODGJ is a moral and social obligation of the government in realizing public welfare (maslahah). Therefore, this study recommends strengthening regulations that prioritize the rights of ODGJ, enhancing cross-sectoral collaboration, and utilizing local potential to sustainably expand the reach of mental health services, in line with both positive law and Islamic legal values.

Abstract

The neglect of the fulfillment of iddah and mut’ah maintenance in divorce decisions made by default remains a serious problem in the practice of religious courts in Indonesia. This article examines this issue through a case study of Decision No. 156/Pdt.G/2018/PA.Lbs as a representation of the tendency of judges to prioritize a formal-procedural approach over the protection of the wife’s substantive rights. This research uses a normative juridical approach and case study, and aims to answer two main questions: whether the Respondent’s absence can be a legal reason to eliminate the right to iddah and mut’ah maintenance, and what is the basis for the judge’s consideration in not including these obligations in the decision. The results of the study indicate that the wife’s absence does not automatically revoke her rights, as long as there is no evidence of nusyuz or other legal conditions that cancel these rights. The judge’s decision, which is solely based on formal procedures without considering the principles of substantive justice and the protection of women, is contrary to the provisions of the Compilation of Islamic Law, Law No. 1 of 1974, and PERMA No. 3 of 2017. Therefore, it is necessary for the judge to implement ex officio authority to ensure that women's economic rights are fulfilled in divorce, even if the case is decided by default.
