Abstract

Supreme Court Circular (SEMA) No. 3 of 2018 has effectively eliminated the possibility of granting requests for marriage registration in cases of polygamous marriages based on unregistered unions. This provision raises concerns about its potential to create various problems, particularly in relation to the protection of women and children. This research aims to analyze the issues arising in marriage law following the issuance of SEMA No. 3 of 2018 and its relevance to the protection of women and children, as well as the regulation of itsbat nikah (marriage legalization) for sirri polygamous marriages from the perspective of maqashid sharia. The study employs a library research methodology, utilizing secondary data sources. The data were collected through literature reviews and analyzed using qualitative data analysis methods. The findings indicate that the regulation of itsbat nikah for sirri polygamous marriages under SEMA No. 3 of 2018 aligns with the principles of protecting women and children. This regulation was introduced to uphold the core values enshrined in Indonesia’s marriage laws. From the perspective of maqashid sharia, the provisions in SEMA No. 3 of 2018 correspond to the objectives of maqashid in preserving maslahah (public interest) at the dharuriyat level, particularly in safeguarding religion, lineage, and property.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the exploration of spirituality, gender equality, minority rights in the context of Islamic education, and the integration of spirituality. This research uses a qualitative approach, and data collection techniques, namely interviews and document analysis. Qualitative data was analyzed using a thematic analysis approach by triangulating the data to increase validity. The research results show that the role of spirituality in education is the main pillar in forming a holistic individual. The integration of spiritual values in the curriculum forms students who are academically intelligent and morally responsible. Spirituality gives rise to empathy, tolerance, and justice, forming the basis of positive character. Spirituality-based Islamic education guides students to understand themselves and their environment in depth. Gender equality challenges involve unequal access and gender-based violence. Women's involvement in decision-making needs to be increased. Public awareness and policy support are key to creating a just society. Gender equality initiatives in Islamic education emphasize equal access and the development of social skills. Identification of minority rights demands recognition of language, culture, and protection of fundamental rights. Steps towards inclusive education include awareness, policy changes, human resource development, parental involvement, and continuous evaluation. The integration of spirituality, gender equality, and minority rights creates an inclusive and holistic system, empowering all learners.

Abstract

This article focuses on the face of women in Levinasian face ethics. The author raises issues related to the increasing phenomenon of violence against women in Indonesia. This fact shows that women in Indonesia are still neglected. According to Levinasian face ethics, this paper intends to criticize the problems that occur from a philosophical point of view. The method of discussion of this paper is a critical analysis of cases of violence against women in the household in the light of Levinasian face ethics. Forms of violence against women in Indonesia are strongly influenced by a patriarchal culture that places the position and status of men above women. This cultural model opens up space for male superiority over women. The concept of Levinasian face ethics is an effective tool in minimizing acts of violence against women in the household. The author arrives at the finding that the root of the problem behind the rampant cases of domestic violence in Indonesia is the failure to understand the existence of women and weak law enforcement. Levinas' ethics of responsibility provide new treasures for understanding Indonesian society, namely that the existence of women is part of everyone's responsibility. A woman's face is how "she" shows herself. I came to the finding that the presence of women in the order of living together demands my responsibility, which is none other than respect for her. It is a form of engagement for the well-being and peaceful lives of others.

Abstract

and destination countries. This paper explores how the Iraq War (2014) transformed the everyday lives of nurses from Kerala, South India, highlighting the intersection of gender, migration, and violent conflict. Employing a feminist narrative analysis, the study examines in-depth interviews with rescued nurses, their families, and experts involved in the evacuation process. Data was collected through virtual platforms and in-person meetings. The findings reveal that while media narratives often sensationalized the violence, the nurses’ experiences presented nuanced realities of resilience and disruption. Migration, driven by aspirations for a better standard of living, has redefined the perception of nursing in Kerala, challenging traditional gender roles. However, the violent conflict disrupted their professional and personal trajectories, exposing vulnerabilities in transnational support systems. The research also evaluates the Government of India’s evacuation and rehabilitation strategies, identifying gaps in addressing the long-term impacts on these women and their families. By situating these experiences within the framework of the 16th Sustainable Development Goal (promoting peaceful and inclusive societies), this study underscores the urgency of integrating gender-sensitive approaches in conflict-driven migration policies. It contributes to broader debates on South Asian women’s migration and the gendered dimensions of violent conflict. Pengalaman migrasi transnasional perempuan dibentuk oleh faktor sosial-budaya di negara asal dan negara tujuan. Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi bagaimana Perang Irak (2014) mengubah kehidupan sehari-hari para perawat dari Kerala, India Selatan, dengan menyoroti persinggungan antara gender, migrasi, dan konflik kekerasan. Dengan menggunakan analisis naratif feminis, penelitian ini mengkaji wawancara mendalam dengan para perawat yang diselamatkan, keluarga mereka, dan para ahli yang terlibat dalam proses evakuasi. Data dikumpulkan melalui platform virtual dan pertemuan langsung. Temuan penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa meskipun narasi media sering kali menyoroti kekerasan yang terjadi, pengalaman para perawat menunjukkan realitas yang bernuansa ketahanan dan gangguan. Migrasi, yang didorong oleh aspirasi untuk mendapatkan standar hidup yang lebih baik, telah mengubah persepsi tentang keperawatan di Kerala, menantang peran gender tradisional. Namun, konflik kekerasan tersebut mengganggu perjalanan profesional dan pribadi mereka, memperlihatkan kerentanan dalam sistem dukungan transnasional. Penelitian ini juga mengevaluasi strategi evakuasi dan rehabilitasi Pemerintah India, mengidentifikasi kesenjangan dalam menangani dampak jangka panjang terhadap para perempuan ini dan keluarga mereka. Dengan menempatkan pengalaman-pengalaman ini dalam kerangka Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan ke-16 (mempromosikan masyarakat yang damai dan inklusif), penelitian ini menggarisbawahi pentingnya mengintegrasikan pendekatan yang peka terhadap gender dalam kebijakan-kebijakan migrasi yang dipicu oleh konflik. Studi ini berkontribusi pada perdebatan yang lebih luas tentang migrasi perempuan Asia Selatan dan dimensi gender dari konflik kekerasan.

Abstract

This research explores the strategic role of female teachers in encouraging female students to take leadership roles and participate actively in school. Although female students often face barriers such as gender stereotypes, social pressure, and lack of support, female teachers have the potential to overcome these challenges through a variety of strategies. This study highlights how female teachers can be inspirational role models, create inclusive learning environments, and provide positive and constructive feedback. In addition, through the integration of gender equality education in the curriculum, class discussions, seminars, mentoring programs, and the provision of educational resources, female teachers can increase female students' awareness and understanding of their rights and the importance of gender equality. The research method used in this research is library research with an approach that involves collecting and analysing information from various existing written sources. The results showed that support and guidance from female teachers not only increased female students' self-confidence and motivation but also equipped them with leadership skills that are important for future success. Thus, this research emphasises the important role of female teachers in empowering women in the educational environment, as well as their contribution to creating a more just and equal society.

Abstract

This paper examines the relationship patterns of extremist married couples in Indonesia. The analysis was carried out using the descriptive analysis method on the data collected through literature searches by utilising previous research reports from certain agencies and mass media reports related to convicted extremist couples in Indonesia. The results showed that there were two patterns of relationships formed between husband-and-wife terrorist couples. In the early phase of pre-ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) women, the wife played more of a role as a follower of her husband (own property), while in the next phase (ISIS Cluster), there was a shift in the relationship between husband and wife terrorist couples, where the relationship that occurs is senior-junior partner; the wife is not just a follower but rather actively and independently in making decisions to become part of extremists to terrorists, both as seniors and juniors from their husbands. This shows the changing role of women in acts of terror, in line with changes in the husband-wife relationship of extremist couples. These phenomena can influence each other. The independence that women have begun to show in their involvement in the extremist world requires the state, apparatus, and society to see women from a different perspective. Women are not always the victims of extremist acts in the family.

Abstract

This article analyzes the myth of beauty within the “UNEJ Cantik” community, focusing on its members' efforts to achieve the ideal concept of beauty. The research highlights the collective and horizontal interactions among community members in shaping beauty standards, a perspective that is less commonly discussed compared to studies emphasizing the role of individuals or influencers in establishing beauty norms. Using the netnography method, data were collected through observations and in-depth interviews with community members, comprising 10 core informants, 5 additional informants, and 2 account administrators. The findings reveal that the community's ideal beauty standards include glowing skin, a slim body, straight hair, and natural makeup. These standards are influenced by three main contexts: mass media (including social media), Dutch colonial heritage, and the local Pandhalungan culture. To achieve these standards, community members engage in various practices such as using skincare products, undergoing whitening injections, getting hair treatments, and getting eyelash extensions. This phenomenon reflects the tension between students' rational aspirations and the exploitation by the beauty market, as well as the clash between local values and global aesthetics. Thus, this study aims to foster critical awareness of the social pressures arising from the homogenization of modern beauty standards.

Abstract

The concept of gender equality and disability long been advocated, emphasizing equal rights and equality between human beings. However, in reality, gender, disability and poverty persists as intersecting factors that contribute to discrimination against the deaf. There are stigmatising assumptions that encourage unequal treatment of the deaf. This study aims to analyse the interrelated experiences of the deaf based on gender, poverty and employment opportunities in East Java. The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews with 29 informants, documentation and focus group discussions (FGDs). The data were analysed using the NVivo 12 software, following a series of steps: data input, coding, exploration, visualization, and presentation. The results of the study challenge the gender disability theory which suggests that women with disabilities tend to be poorer than men with disabilities. Instead, this study found that both men and women with disabilities face similar levels of poverty and encounter difficulties in accessing labour market. Some of them are poor from birth, making it difficult to get education costs and making it difficult to find work. There are also those who have difficulty getting work because they are deaf, so they lack income to meet their needs. In addition, the result supports the existence of disability-poverty cycle among the deaf. Poverty for the deaf is exacerbated by their disability, lack of health insurance, limited access to education and skills training, and difficulties in penetrating the labour market.

Abstract

The formation of a generation that has character and upholds Islamic values can only be obtained through education in which there is a learning and teaching process. Islam itself obliges every believer to study, both men and women. The purpose of this study is to examine the philosophical basis and urgency of gender-equal Islamic Religious Education in Indonesia as a means to produce a generation that carries out its role while still emphasizing morality as well as religious values, both men and women, without exception. This research is a qualitative study with data collection techniques using library research methods that utilize and collect various sources of literature to then examine information relevant to the research topic. The results showed that Islam recognizes the same rights between men and women in getting education. Islamic Religious Education philosophically does not only focus on spiritual aspects but also intellectual. Gender-equal Islamic Religious Education in Indonesia is important to prepare both male and female generations to contribute to building a quality society, in line with the philosophy of Islamic education, which is to equip every human being with knowledge in order to realize their responsibilities and management as the khalifah of Allah.

Abstract

This research examines the themes of women's digital literacy within the evolving digital economy. Digital literacy includes the ability to operate technological devices, critical understanding on information, and the use digital media safely and effectively. The literacy is one of the crucial keys to succeed in the competitive market, particularly for online women workers. This literature study employs descriptive analysis from a feminist political economy perspective that analyzes how power relations, social structures, and the economy shape gender inequality in the context of work and technology. This analysis explores the technology gap among women online workers, focusing on challenges, opportunities, and skills gaps. The findings indicate that in the era of the digital economy, technological proficiency is one of the keys to enhance women's livelihood. Nevertheless, women tend to possess lower technological skills than men. Several factors contribute to this gap, including socio-cultural structures, gender-biased technology, and limited access to education. It is essential to implement appropriate policies and initiatives to improve women's digital literacy, so, we can empower women to compete in the digital economy.
