Abstract

The reformulation of morality-based criminal offenses in the New Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP), particularly regarding the criminalization of consensual adultery, raises questions about the limits of state intervention in the private sphere of citizens. In contrast, Islamic criminal law considers adultery (zina) as a jarimah with strong normative and theological foundations, accompanied by strict evidentiary requirements. This study compares the criminalization of adultery in the New KUHP, particularly Articles 411 and 412, with Islamic criminal law, while examining the influence of legal politics and moral value sources on both systems. The research employs a normative legal methodology with conceptual, statutory, and comparative approaches, and analyzes primary and secondary data qualitatively through systematic and contextual reading. The findings show that the New KUHP emphasizes social morality through a complaint-based offense mechanism, limiting state intervention in private matters, while still upholding moral norms. Islamic criminal law, on the other hand, treats adultery as a violation of divine and social order, but its strict evidentiary mechanisms and the principle of dar’ al-ḥudūd bi al-shubuhāt prevent arbitrary criminalization and protect individual rights. These findings highlight the importance of balancing collective moral values, respect for private space, and legal certainty in shaping criminal policy. This study is expected to serve as a reference for national criminal law reform and to broaden cross-system understanding of the relationship between morality, individual rights, and criminalization policy.

Abstract

This study explores the legal dissonance and social consequences arising from the widespread practice of unregistered ṭalāq in Indonesia. It aims to examine the normative conflict between fiqh-based principles and state law, and its implications for husbands, wives, and children. Using normative legal research with a conceptual and descriptive approach, the study finds that unregistered ṭalāq contributes to systemic legal uncertainty and structural inequality, particularly disadvantaging women and children. Legal complications include ambiguous marital status, limitations on remarriage, and procedural obstacles in court and civil registration. Husbands may face the risk of ṭalāq repetition across normative systems, potentially leading to unintended final divorce, alongside repeated obligations related to nafaqah and muṭʿah. Wives face prolonged ʿiddah, abandonment, and disproportionate legal burdens, while children are exposed to psychological distress and a lack of enforceable custodial rights. To address these issues, this paper proposes the institutionalization of ṭalāq validation (isbat ṭalāq) as a harmonizing mechanism between religious and state legal systems, aiming to restore legal certainty, protect vulnerable parties, and promote justice in marital dissolution.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the application of the principles of maqāṣid al-syarīʻah by mediator judges in the mediation process of divorce cases at the Class 1A Watampone Religious Court.  The principles that make the application of the five basic maqāṣid al-syarīʻah (ḥifẓ al-dīn, ḥifẓ al-nafs, ḥifẓ al-‘aql, ḥifẓ al-nasl, and ḥifẓ al-māl) internalized in the mediation strategy and approach by the mediator judge to maintain the integrity of the household and prevent divorce. This research uses a qualitative approach with a field study design. Data was collected through interviews, observation and documentation, then analyzed using Miles and Huberman's interactive model. The results of the study indicate that although mediation has great potential in reducing divorce rates, its effectiveness is highly dependent on the competence of the mediator judge and the emotional readiness of the parties. The principle of maqāṣid al-syarīʻah is used by the mediator judge as a value-oriented mediation approach from the beginning of the mediation process until the divorce trial process becomes a reflection to avoid harm, promote peace and consider the socio-spiritual impact on children. However, the effectiveness of conflict resolution still requires institutional support and ongoing training for mediators. Therefore, this study recommends strengthening the capacity of mediator judges through contextual and solution-based maqāṣid training to create a more beneficial and long-term oriented mediation approach.
