Abstract

This article examines the changes in the position of Muslim marriage in the legal politics and administration of the Dutch colonial in the Dutch East Indies in 1882–1942. The research problem departs from colonial policies that did not completely abolish the practice of Islamic marriage law, but gradually incorporated it into the institutional and administrative structure of the government. This study aims to analyze the changes in the legal position of Muslim marriage, the relationship between institutional recognition and administrative supervision, and the interaction between Islamic law, customary law, and colonial law. The research gap lies in the unintegrated discussion of the institutionalization of religious courts since 1882, the administrative arrangement of marriage in 1895–1933, and the change in jurisdiction in 1937 as a series of colonial legal politics. This research uses historical methods through heuristic stages, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The main sources include the various Staatsblads that regulated religious courts, marriage, divorce, and the authority of Islamic legal institutions in the period. The results of the study show that colonial politics towards Muslim marriage formed a pattern that can be termed as "controlled recognition". Recognition of Islamic legal institutions and practices took place simultaneously with the standardization of administration, supervision of religious officials, and restrictions on the authority of religious courts. Thus, colonial legal pluralism did not take place in an equal position, but rather in a hierarchical legal structure. These findings show that the history of Muslim marriage was part of the negotiation process between Islamic law, society, and colonial power. REFERENCES Ali, M. (2016).

Abstract

This study examines the socio-political dynamics and the role of community leaders in preserving local wisdom and religious moderation among the Towani Tolotang community in Amparita, Tellu Limpoe District, Sidenreng Rappang Regency, South Sulawesi. The Amparita community maintains diverse religious traditions, including Towani Tolotang, Benteng Tolotang, and Islam. Socio-political dynamics and religious transformation have the potential to threaten local wisdom and generate conflict and injustice. This study employs an empirical sociological approach using Anthony Giddens’ Structuration Theory and J. Philip Wogaman’s theory of religion-state relations. Data were collected through interviews with religious leaders, traditional leaders, academics, village government officials, and representatives of the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Sidenreng Rappang Regency. The findings indicate that the civil rights of the Towani Tolotang community have been fulfilled through synergy between the government and the Ministry of Religious Affairs. Local wisdom continues to be preserved despite social, educational, and religious transformations. Religious tolerance and moderation promoted by religious leaders, traditional leaders, political figures, and government institutions play an important role in maintaining peace and social harmony. Education and awareness of religious moderation have also contributed to reducing stereotypes and discrimination against the Towani Tolotang community. From the perspective of Structuration Theory, social agents play a significant role in fulfilling civil rights, preserving traditions, and maintaining social harmony amid religious transformation and socio-political change.

Abstract

This study examines the historical transformation of premarital ruwatan in a Javanese Muslim family in Sumberlawang, Sragen, focusing on the negotiation between inherited ritual practices and changing Islamic orientations. Using a qualitative historical approach and a case study design, the research draws on interviews, observation, documentation, and relevant literature. The sources were examined through heuristic collection, source criticism, interpretation, and historiographical reconstruction, supported by triangulation. The findings show that the ritual has undergone selective changes rather than complete abandonment. Its association with sukerta, intergenerational inheritance, premarital timing, and the pursuit of safety remains, while Murwakala performances, mantras, offerings, and other ritual elements have been simplified or replaced with Qur’anic recitation, Yasin, tahlil, khataman, and Islamic prayers. Religious authority has also become more layered through the involvement of kyai alongside the family elder, who remains active as a traditional ruwatan guide. This study contributes to the historiography of Javanese Islam by showing how continuity and change unfold within a family tradition across generations, with Islamization operating through negotiation, reinterpretation, and selective adaptation rather than the wholesale disappearance of Javanese ritual heritage.

Abstract

Marriage within the Surakarta Sunanate encompasses religious, legal, customary, and dynastic dimensions that have evolved alongside changes in Indonesia's legal system. This complexity is evident in the controversies surrounding the status of Asih Winarni as the consort of SISKS Pakubuwono XIII and the appointment of KGPH Purbaya as crown prince. Previous studies on marriages within the Surakarta Palace family have tended to focus on customary marriage practices and processions from the perspective of Islamic law; however, the historical evolution and the interrelationships between marriage, palace statutes (paugeran), the legitimacy of the consort, and royal succession have not been comprehensively examined. This article analyzes the controversies regarding marriage and the consort's legitimacy during the reign of SISKS Pakubuwono XIII, examining them through the lenses of Islamic legal history, palace statutes, and state law. The study employs a historical method comprising heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Primary sources include marriage legislation, the Compilation of Islamic Law, documents and literature concerning Surakarta Palace traditions and statutes, and contemporary reports regarding the consort and the crown prince. The findings indicate that the validity of a marriage under Islamic and state law does not automatically confer legitimacy upon the consort or the crown prince within the palace hierarchy. This article contributes to the study of Islamic family law by analyzing the interplay between religious law, state law, custom, and dynastic legitimacy within the context of the Surakarta Sunanate.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze marriage from the perspective of Islamic legal history by examining the interplay between societal traditions, classical fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) constructs, and modern marriage regulations. Existing research has largely examined marriage traditions, fiqh, or legislation in isolation, failing to historically elucidate how these three elements interacted, negotiated, and underwent transformation in the shaping of Islamic marriage law in Indonesia. The study employs a normative-juridical method, utilizing historical and conceptual approaches. Data were gathered through a literature review of Islamic legal sources, classical fiqh texts, historical works, and contemporary marriage regulations. The findings indicate that marriage practices within Muslim societies have been shaped by the dynamic interaction between normative Islamic teachings and local traditions. Classical fiqh subsequently established legal frameworks influenced by the social, cultural, and political contexts of the era. In modern times, the state has intervened to regulate marriage through codification and legislation, taking into account principles such as public interest (maslahah), the protection of rights, legal certainty, and social change. This article contributes to the historiography of Islamic law by demonstrating that the modernization of marriage law in Indonesia represents a historical transformation process that does not sever ties with the fiqh tradition but rather negotiates it through principles of public interest, rights protection, and legal certainty. Thus, the evolution of Islamic marriage law is not static; rather, it has undergone a process of adaptation transitioning from tradition and classical fiqh thought toward modern regulatory frameworks. A historical analysis of this process is crucial for understanding that Islamic marriage law possesses a contextual dimension, allowing for reform while remaining grounded in the fundamental principles of Sharia.

Abstract

This article investigates the Islamization of time in seventeenth-century Java by reading the calendar reform. This article examines the historical relationship between calendrical knowledge, religious legitimacy, and royal authority. The study employs a critical literature-based historical approach, comparing published analyses of the reform, studies of the Serat Widya Pradhana, and scholarship on Islamic Mataram. It argues that the calendar's combination of a lunar reckoning, inherited year numbering, and Javanese temporal cycles can be interpreted as a negotiated arrangement rather than a total cultural replacement. Attributing calendrical authorship to Sultan Agung and, later, to Sunan Giri II in a literary genealogy indicates competing modes of authorizing Islamic time. These accounts should not be conflated with contemporary evidence for the reform. The article proposes calendrical authority as a limited analytical framework linking knowledge, institutions, and social practice, while acknowledging that the absence of independently examined seventeenth-century manuscripts prevents claims about a uniform implementation throughout Java.
