Abstract

The prohibition of marriage between election organizers within the General Elections Commission (KPU) and the Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) has generated debate because it intersects with the constitutional right to form a family and the need to safeguard the institutional integrity of elections. This study analyzes the normative basis, legal justification, and relevance of this policy from the perspectives of positive law and maslahah mursalah. This research employs an empirical-juridical method with a qualitative approach through literature review, documentation, and in-depth interviews with election organizers in Lampung Province. The data were analyzed using the theories of maslahah mursalah, electoral integrity, and the principle of conflict of interest. The findings indicate that the prohibition of marriage may obtain legitimacy as an instrument for preventing conflicts of interest when implemented proportionally, without eliminating the substance of constitutional rights, and when directed toward protecting the public interest, the integrity of election organizers, and public trust in election results. This study recommends improving conflict-of-interest regulations through ethical governance, ethical oversight, and clearer limitations on public office in order to maintain a fair and proportional balance between individual rights and democratic interests.

Abstract

The core problem of this study is weak protection of child victims of sexual violence when the perpetrator is the holder of parental authority or guardianship, requiring state intervention through the State Attorney. This study aims to analyze the authority, legal considerations, and practice of the State Attorney in revoking guardianship rights of child victims of sexual violence in Lampung Province. The theoretical framework combines maslahah mursalah and law as a tool for social engineering to examine child protection as public benefit and as an instrument of social transformation. This research uses a qualitative approach with field research supported by library research. Primary data were obtained through interviews with State Attorneys, observation, documentation, and three Religious Court decisions: Decision Number 312/Pdt.G/2023/PA.Prw, 593/Pdt.G/2024/PA.Gdt, and 411/Pdt.G/2024/PA.Kr. Secondary data were collected from legislation, Islamic family law literature, child protection law, and scholarly articles. The findings show that the State Attorney has legal standing to petition for revocation of guardianship in the best interests of the child. Judges considered criminal facts, psychological trauma, the biological father’s unfitness as guardian, legal norms, and the principle of public benefit. The three decisions revoked the perpetrators’ parental authority and appointed the biological mothers as substitute guardians. This study recommends inter-institutional technical guidelines, strengthening State Attorney capacity, and continuing psychosocial assistance so court decisions ensure recovery, safe care, and prevention of repeated violence.

Abstract

Child custody (ḥaḍānah) determination in Indonesian Islamic family law remains predominantly parent-oriented and has not consistently incorporated the best interests of the child as the primary legal consideration. This challenge is exacerbated by the practice of Religious Courts issuing divorce judgments without explicitly determining child custody when no specific claim is submitted, thereby creating legal uncertainty and weakening the protection of children's rights. This study aims to reformulate the legal framework governing child custody determination within Indonesian Islamic family law to align it with the best interests of the child principle. The research employs a normative juridical method using statutory, conceptual, and analytical approaches to examine legislation, the Compilation of Islamic Law, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, General Comment No. 14 (2013), and relevant legal scholarship. Data were analyzed qualitatively through the perspective of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. The findings reveal that the current legal framework remains formalistic, inadequately adopts a child-centered approach, and does not impose an explicit obligation on judges to determine child custody in every divorce judgment. This study proposes a legal reform by positioning child custody determination as an ex officio judicial obligation grounded in the best interests of the child principle and the objectives of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. The proposed reform provides a normative foundation for strengthening legal certainty, enhancing children's rights protection, and promoting greater consistency in the adjudication of child custody cases within Indonesia's Islamic family law system.
