Abstract

This article critically examines the intersection of gender, power, and religious ideology in the Indonesian film Tuhan, Izinkan Aku Berdosa, using Roland Barthes’ semiotic framework within a communication studies perspective. By analyzing the denotative, connotative, and mythical meanings of key visual elements—such as the hijab, spatial dynamics, lighting, and body language—the study reveals how symbolic narratives in the film reproduce patriarchal discourse and religious authority that regulate women’s bodies and moral identities. Film, as a form of mediated communication, functions not merely as entertainment but as a powerful ideological text that shapes public perception, reinforces cultural myths, and contributes to the construction of social norms. Building upon this, the article expands the analysis by connecting the film’s symbolic representations to Indonesia’s legal and policy frameworks, including Islamic family law, local moral regulations (Perda Syariah), and recent legislation on sexual violence. Through this interdisciplinary approach, the study engages feminist legal theory and reformist Islamic scholarship to show how cinematic representations both reflect and challenge institutionalized gender inequality. The findings demonstrate that visual communication in film can serve as a discursive arena for negotiating religious authority, exposing moral hypocrisy, and contesting legal injustices. Ultimately, this study underscores the critical role of film as a medium of cultural resistance and legal reflection in contemporary Indonesian society.

Abstract

The legal issue addressed is the growing misalignment between traditional IPR doctrines—which require originality and human subjectivity—and the emerging reality of content creation that is either generated or significantly assisted by AI systems and data-driven processes. The primary objective of this research is to critically reassess the normative foundations of the concept of "creativity" within IPR law, employing a legal-philosophical approach, and to propose a more adaptive legal framework in response to technological advancements. The study adopts a normative juridical method combined with a progressive legal philosophy approach, and conducts a conceptual analysis of both international and national regulations concerning IPR, AI, and data governance. The novelty of this research lies in the formulation of the concept of hybrid creativity—an acknowledgment of non-anthropocentric forms of creative expression that possess expressive, aesthetic, and utilitarian value, even when generated through algorithmic intervention. The findings indicate that the exclusive recognition of human creativity is increasingly insufficient, and that a more inclusive legal paradigm is needed to accommodate the role of AI as a subject—or at least a co-creator—within the IPR system. The study recommends the establishment of a new category of IPR that recognizes AI-generated works, alongside a reformulation of originality and ownership criteria aligned with principles of distributive justice and technological progress

Abstract

This study examines the application of legal hermeneutics in interpreting trademark law, particularly within the context of commercial dispute resolution. The legal issue under scrutiny lies in the inconsistency of judicial interpretations of trademark provisions, which often result in legal uncertainty and perceived injustice for business actors. The objective of this research is to analyze how the legal hermeneutic approach can offer a more contextual and equitable understanding in the interpretation of trademark law, especially in light of the evolving dynamics of modern commercial practices. This research employs a normative legal method, incorporating a hermeneutic approach. Data were collected through a literature review of statutory regulations, court decisions, and relevant academic literature. The hermeneutic framework is used to uncover the substantive meaning of legal norms within their social, economic, and cultural contexts. The novelty of this study lies in its application of legal hermeneutics to trademark disputes in Indonesia—an area that has predominantly been analyzed through textual or positivist lenses. The findings indicate that the hermeneutic approach reveals the teleological dimensions and substantive justice values embedded in trademark law interpretation. This method also contributes to producing judicial decisions that are more responsive to the complexities of business relations and consumer protection. The study recommends that judges and legal practitioners begin adopting a hermeneutic legal approach when handling trademark disputes, as a means to enhance legal legitimacy and ensure a more contextually grounded legal certainty

Abstract

Nigeria, Somalia, and Ghana are countries with distinct demographic compositions of the Muslim population: approximately 51% in Nigeria, 99% in Somalia, and 19.9% in Ghana. Each jurisdiction demonstrates diverse legal characteristics in the regulation of Muslim family law. This study aims to analyze the regulatory framework and the effectiveness of Muslim family law in these three jurisdictions. The research employs a descriptive-analytical method with a normative juridical approach. Data were obtained through a library-based examination of statutory provisions and relevant literature, and subsequently analyzed qualitatively. The findings indicate that the Federal Government of Nigeria has delegated authority to twelve northern states to regulate Muslim family law in accordance with Islamic law. Nevertheless, state involvement remains relatively minimal, as implementation is largely entrusted to local religious authorities, most of whom adhere to the Maliki school. In Somalia, the state assumes a dominant role through the codification and modernization of Islamic family law as embodied in the 1975 Family Law. By contrast, in Ghana, Muslim family law is regulated under the Mohammedan Marriage Ordinance (Cap 129 of 1951); however, the regulation is not comprehensive, with the state granting Muslim communities autonomy to observe Islamic law as a form of living law within society. The effectiveness of Muslim family law thus requires a balance between clear and comprehensive legal substance, robust institutional structures, and a legal culture supportive of its implementation

Abstract

Law No. 2 of 2004 concerning the Settlement of Industrial Relations Disputes is the legal umbrella that regulates the procedures for resolving industrial relations disputes between employers/companies and workers/laborers. The duties of an industrial relations mediator are to foster industrial relations, develop industrial relations, and resolve Industrial Relations Disputes. The Mediator is obliged to provide written recommendations to the disputing parties to resolve disputes over rights, interests, termination of employment, and disputes between trade unions/labor unions. The study results indicate that in the implementation of industrial relations dispute mediation, the provisions regarding the time to provide written recommendations from the Mediator in the event of no agreement in resolving the dispute to the parties have not been adequate because they often exceed the specified period. The obstacles faced by industrial relations mediators in resolving dispute cases are the difficulty of bringing together the two disputing parties and the difficulty of the disputing parties. Employers who are domiciled abroad or out of town find it difficult to spare their time. And the limited authority given by the company to personnel hinders the mediation process.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the purpose of legal science for Muhammadiyah, specifically the Majelis Tarjih (Islamic Council of Muhammadiyah). This is highly urgent, because the Majelis Tarjih is an entity within Muhammadiyah that is responsible for providing solutions to the problems of the people's lives, especially Muhammadiyah members and Muslims in general. In general, the purpose of legal science is to ensure justice, legal certainty, and benefit. Legal scholars have provided an overview of justice, legal certainty, and benefit. Some argue that law is just if it has legal certainty. Meanwhile, the law is certain if it is written or codified. On the side of benefit, there are also many differences. Is the benefit for the victim only, or for the perpetrator as well? The above matters are constantly experiencing dynamics. Therefore, Muhammadiyah, in this case the Majelis Tarjih, wants to provide an alternative purpose of legal science. Based on this, this research has a fairly high urgency, considering that the Majelis Tarjih in its legal istbath should not deviate from the purpose of the law itself. This research method is normative research with a library approach. The research begins by analyzing Islamic sharia by classifying what is fixed (muthasibat) and what is changeable (muthaghoiroh). These two aspects are then discussed in dialogue with the objectives of sharia (maqasidu shari'ah). In the next stage, the author will study the istinbat method of the tarjih assembly's law to synchronize the objectives of law with the istinbath method of the Muhammadiyah tarjih assembly. The findings of this study are that the objectives of law from the Muhammadiyah perspective are flexible. This flexibility lies in achieving benefits and avoiding harm.

Abstract

This study critically inquires the role of religious figures within the framework of instilling the concept of religious moderation in Indonesia. The main reason for this study is that social facts in Indonesia today, indicate that there are certain people who interpret religion in extreme ways. This is the background behind the issuance of Presidential Regulation Number 18 of 2020 which places religious moderation as a fundamental social capital for nation building. In line with that, this paper maps out the strategies run by religious leaders in carrying out their roles in grounding the concept of religious moderation. This article is based on socio-legal research. The data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The result of this study shows that religious leaders play an important role in instilling religious moderation by acting as inspirations in inter-religious interactions, motivators in understanding religious moderation, role models in moderation behavior, initiators of moderate religious perspectives, promoters of internal and external dialogue, mediators, catalysts, in carrying out Islam as rahmatan li al-alamin, and is at the forefront (spearhead) in socializing the concept of religious moderation.

Abstract

Agricultural cooperatives play a strategic role in national economic development, particularly in strengthening food security and empowering farmers. However, their contribution in Indonesia remains low due to weak institutions and historical dependence on state intervention. This article examines the role of legal structure in building integrated and independent agricultural cooperatives, using a normative legal approach and Lawrence M. Friedman's legal system theory, which emphasizes three main elements: structure, substance, and legal culture. Findings indicate that the failure of cooperatives like Agricultural Cooperative and Village Unit Cooperative was triggered by ineffective, bureaucratic, and unresponsive legal structures that failed to adapt to grassroots institutional dynamics. Compared to the success of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation (NACF) in South Korea, legal structure reforms in Indonesia need to focus on strengthening cooperative institutions, promoting vertical-horizontal integration, and fostering solid inter-agency coordination. The state should act as a facilitator, not a dominator, by providing a legal ecosystem that enables cooperatives to grow as competitive, inclusive, and sustainable people's economic forces.

Abstract

The preamble of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia expresses the hope for a prosperous of the Republic of Indonesia. Achieving this prosperity nation requires adequate state revenue, with taxes playing a crucial role. However, taxes are closely tied to the sustainability of a healthy economy. On the path to a prosperous nation, many businesses face bankruptcy, which often leads to delays in tax debt payments. According to bankruptcy, in refer to article 21 of the KUP Law, tax bills are prioritized over other debts. However, there remains a dual interpretationbregarding the hierarchy of creditor payments duringbthe bankruptcy process. Therefore, the state, through itsbtaxation authority, has a responsibility to ensure that taxes—a vital source of state revenue—are accounted for in bankruptcy proceedings. This ensures that the state does not lose a critical source of income needed to distribute tax benefits and maintain public welfare. This study aims to offer insights into the fairness of tax bill settlements within the bankruptcy process. The findings indicate that there is a need for equitable tax collection in bankruptcy cases in Indonesia.
