Abstract

Land is one of the valuable natural resources that is highly beneficial to humans, thus necessitating specific regulation by the government. It serves as the foundation for societal development and is considered an enduring asset for a community with rightful ownership of the land. However, disputes over land have arisen among communities. The existence of land can lead to conflicts over land rights, requiring parties involved to present evidence based on applicable regulations. The objective of this research is to examine and analyze the legal status of the land ownership certificate as evidence in the verdict of the District Court of Gorontalo City No. 2/Pdt.G/2020/PN Gto. This study employs a normative legal method with legislative and conceptual approaches. The research findings indicate that the legal strength, based on legal considerations in the District Court's decision, is related to the certificate of land ownership No. 00561/Desa Moutong. This certificate, held by the claimant, was deemed legally non-binding due to the unlawful possession of the disputed land without the consent and knowledge of the plaintiff and other heirs, as evidenced by a statement issued during a meeting in 1989, attended by local village authorities. Therefore, the defendant was proven to have acted against the law.Keywords: Legal Position; Certificate of Ownership; Land Dispute. ABSTRAKTanah merupakan salah satu sumber daya alam yang sangat bermanfaat bagi manusia, maka perlu adanya pengaturan khusus terkait pertanahan oleh pemerintah. Tanah juga merupakan sebuah dasar bagi Pembangunan Masyarakat dalam kehidupan serta memiliki sifat kekal dengan suatu Masyarakat yang memiliki hak atas tanah tersebut. Namun tanah ini juga sudah dianggap sebagai salah satu sumber sengketa antar Masyarakat lainnya. Eksistensi tanah dapat menimbulkan terjadinya sengketa perebutan hak atas sebidang tanah. Sehingga dalam proses pembuktian, para pihak harus mampu menampilkan bukti berdasarkan ketentuan yang berlaku. Tujuan penelitian ini yakni untuk mengkaji dan menganalisis kedudukan hukum sertifikat hak milik atas tanah sebagai alat bukti pada Putusan Pengadilan Negeri Kota Gorontalo No. 2/Pdt.G/2020/PN Gto. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode hukum normatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konseptual. Adapun hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kekuatan hukum berdasarkan pertimbangan hukum tersebut yakni Putusan Pengadilan Negeri Kota Gorontalo No. 2/Pdt.G/2020/PN Gto terhadap surat keterangan dalam hal ini surat pernyataan bagi harta pada Tahun 1989 yang dihasilkan dari hasil musyawarah telah ditandatangani dan bersesuaian dengan keterangan saksi hidup serta memenuhi asas pemerintahan yang baik, karena pada saat itu juga dihadiri oleh pemerintah desa setempat,  dan menyatakan bahwa sertifikat tanda bukti hak milik nomor 00561/Desa Moutong atas nama pemegang hak tidak mempunyai kekuatan hukum yang mengikat karena penguasaan tanah objek sengketa tersebut tanpa seizin dan sepengetahuan pihak penggugat beserta ahli waris lainnya, sehingga tergugat terbukti melakukan perbuatan melawan hukum.

Abstract

In the era of Society 5.0, women have many opportunities and facilities if they want to strengthen their family's economic independence. However, a law prohibits women from traveling without a mahram. Many hadith texts prohibit women from traveling without a mahram, which are contradictory and have multiple interpretations, making the law of women traveling different opinions. This article will analyze the law and whether it is still relevant if it is associated with the demands of economic independence in the era of Society 5.0 by using a qualitative descriptive method approach to produce a legal analysis and get a new conclusion. It can be concluded that the law regarding the prohibition of women traveling without a mahram is broadly divided into two, namely prohibiting absolutely and detailing the law in two circumstances, namely related to interests or needs and safety factors. Then, the many positive opportunities and conveniences in this Society 5.0 era make it easier for women to implement the law regarding the prohibition of traveling without a mahram and make it relevant even in this advanced era.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the practice of adoptive siblings acting as marriage guardians for adopted children in Akeguraci Village from the perspective of fiqh munakahat. A marriage guardian (wali) is one of the essential pillars of marriage; without a guardian, a marriage is deemed invalid, especially for individuals who have not yet reached the age of accountability (mukallaf). There are two types of marriage guardians: guardians by lineage (wali nasab) and judicial guardians (wali hakim). In Akeguraci Village, there is a case where the marriage guardian did not fulfill the essential requirements for guardianship. The guardian in this marriage was the biological son of the adoptive father. The mistake in the guardianship of the adopted child's marriage, performed by the adoptive sibling, occurred because the biological father refused to act as the guardian. This qualitative research collects field data through observation and interviews to uncover the practice of adoptive siblings acting as marriage guardians in Akeguraci Village. The findings reveal two main points: first, the practice of having the biological son of the adoptive father serve as the marriage guardian occurred because the biological father was unwilling to officiate the marriage, citing the child’s adoption at a young age as the reason. Second, from the perspective of fiqh munakahat, the marriage of an adopted child officiated by an adoptive sibling is invalid, as there is no lineage (nasab) relationship between the adopted child and the adoptive sibling.Al-Jaziri, A.

Abstract

This study explores the influence of hedonistic lifestyles on marital infidelity and relationship stability. Using a qualitative approach, data was gathered through in-depth interviews with two couples who have experienced the adverse impacts of such lifestyles on their marriages. The research findings highlight that a hedonistic orientation typically undermines both commitment and satisfaction within relationships, potentially leading to infidelity. Analysis suggests that hedonism distracts individuals from long-term relationship goals, fostering a culture of immediate gratification detrimental to marital cohesion. The study recommends integrating cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques in couple counseling sessions to counter these effects. This intervention is aimed at helping couples develop healthier communication patterns and more effective impulse control, which are crucial for maintaining relationship stability. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of proactive therapeutic strategies that focus on enhancing interpersonal connections and managing detrimental lifestyle influences. These findings contribute to understanding how lifestyle choices affect marital dynamics and offer practical approaches for therapists working with couples facing similar challenges.

Abstract

This study aims to develop strategies for family economic empowerment in Gangga II Village by integrating the perspective of Maqashid Shariah to enhance material, spiritual, and social well-being. Gangga II Village possesses significant economic potential in the fisheries and agribusiness sectors but faces considerable challenges, including limited infrastructure, low access to skills education, and dependency on the fisheries sector. Using a qualitative approach, this study analyzes local economic potential and empowerment strategies based on skills training, financial literacy, and strengthening community collaboration through women’s groups (PKK) and village-owned enterprises (BumDes). In the framework of Maqashid Shariah, economic empowerment not only aims for material well-being but also seeks to balance worldly and spiritual aspects and reinforce social solidarity within families and communities. These findings are expected to contribute to the development of empowerment concepts grounded in Islamic values and enrich international literature on the application of Maqashid Shariah in village community economic empowerment. This research offers a more holistic empowerment concept to sustainably improve village community economies, particularly in Gangga II Village.

Abstract

This study evaluates the effectiveness of implementing the Prodeo and Sidang Keliling at the Boroko Religious Court in PERMA No. 1 of 2014. The research method used is qualitative with a juridical-empirical approach, including data collection through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. The results showed that implementing the two programs significantly increased access to justice for the underprivileged. However, fluctuations were found in the realization of annual cases, highlighting the need for budget adjustments and more effective socialization strategies. The discussion emphasized the importance of adapting legal services to the needs of local communities and integrating the provider approach into the broader justice system. The conclusion of this study suggests that with improved management and socialization, the Prodeo and Sidang keliling can continue to effectively support the principles of social justice and broader access to legal services. The implications of this study lead to policy recommendations to optimize resource allocation and socialization strategies in the Indonesian judicial system, especially in the Boroko Religious Court.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the enforcement of underage marriage laws in Luwu Regency. This descriptive qualitative study uses a normative-empirical approach to interview, observation, and documentation methods. The results show that the reality of underage marriages in Luwu Regency is influenced by weak public awareness, lack of serious government supervision or education, and factors such as free association, tradition, family economic background, and patriarchal views. Underage marriage practices based on cultural reasons are subject to a criminal penalty of up to 9 years as outlined in Law No. 12 of 2022 on Sexual Violence Crimes, Article 10, Paragraph (1) and (2). The enforcement of underage marriage follows the legal framework of Law No. 16 of 2019, considering the minimum marriage age, and the Supreme Court Regulation No. 5 of 2019 regarding guidelines for adjudicating marriage dispensation requests. Substantively, underage marriage, from a traditional perspective, aims to preserve lineage rather than prioritize material concerns.

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of penal mediation in cases involving children in conflict with the law in Manado. It examines the obstacles encountered during the penal mediation process in these cases from an Islamic legal perspective. The handling of children in legal matters cannot be equated with the treatment of adults who commit crimes. Penal mediation is an appropriate dispute resolution method for cases involving children, using a restorative justice approach by Islamic law. The research method employed is a normative-empirical approach involving direct interviews with investigators in cases of children in conflict with the law and a literature review examining Islamic law related to the application of juvenile justice. The study reveals that the implementation of penal mediation through diversion has not been fully optimized, as not all juvenile cases are mediated during the processes at the police, prosecutor's office, and court levels. Furthermore, the application of penal mediation in Islamic law aligns with the principles of Islah and Suhl, emphasizing the principle of reconciliation (Islah).

Abstract

This research examines the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in collective ijtihad in Islamic family law, looking for innovative ways to integrate modern technology with Sharia principles. Using a qualitative approach, data was collected through in-depth interviews and focused group discussions with Islamic law experts and AI practitioners and through analysis of relevant legal documents and literature. The study's findings show that AI can speed up the ijtihad process and increase efficiency and accuracy in analyzing and resolving complex family law cases. This research reveals that although AI brings many benefits, its use must still consider compliance with sharia values, with strict ethical supervision. The discussion in this study emphasizes the importance of a balance between technological innovation and adherence to Islamic principles. The conclusions of this study suggest that the use of AI in collective ijtihad not only opens up new possibilities in the practice of Islamic law but also challenges scholars to evaluate and possibly adapt traditional principles to ensure that they remain relevant in a rapidly changing social and technological context.

Abstract

This qualitative study explores the role of Village Councils in preventing child marriage on Lombok Island, focusing specifically on policy synergy and local governance. This research uses Lawrence M. Friedman's legal system theory to analyze the impact of regional regulations and community-based initiatives in addressing child marriage in North Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. This study adopts an empirical juridical approach, with primary data from North Lombok Regent Regulation No. 20/2017 on Village Council Guidelines and secondary data from relevant literature. Despite significant efforts, child marriage remains a widespread issue on the island. The North Lombok Regency Government, through the empowerment of Village Krama Councils, has made substantial progress in addressing this issue. However, challenges persist, including unclear regulatory provisions and inconsistent application of Village Council functions across the region. The strong legal culture and the tradition of deliberation for consensus within the local community play a crucial role in the success of these initiatives. This study emphasizes the importance of empowering Village Councils to enhance the effectiveness of policies and further reduce child marriage practices in Lombok.
