Abstract

The practice of unregistered religious marriage (nikah siri) continues to persist in several rural communities in Indonesia, including Kaduhejo Subdistrict, Pandeglang Regency, where strong religious values intersect with economic and social constraints. Although considered valid according to Islamic law, nikah siri is not formally recorded by the state, resulting in significant legal and social consequences, particularly for women and children. Based on a qualitative normative-empirical approach, this research explores the forms, underlying factors, community perceptions, and socio-legal impacts of nikah siri through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis involving married couples, religious leaders, community figures, and local officials. The findings indicate that economic limitations, socio-cultural traditions, and limited legal awareness are dominant factors sustaining the practice. Most community members prioritize religious legitimacy over administrative legality, while simultaneously acknowledging the legal vulnerabilities arising from unregistered marriages. Nikah siri creates a social dilemma by positioning religious norms, local traditions, and state law in a state of tension rather than harmony. Women and children are the most affected parties, facing legal uncertainty regarding inheritance rights, marital status, and civil documentation. This study offers an empirical contribution by framing nikah siri as a living legal phenomenon shaped by continuous negotiation between normative religious values and structural legal limitations. Strengthening legal education, improving access to marriage registration, and enhancing the economic capacity of young couples are essential strategies to reduce the negative impacts of unregistered marriages in rural communities.

Abstract

Divorce among couples who marry due to pregnancy outside of marriage presents complex legal and social challenges within the framework of Islamic family law. Such marriages are often conducted under social pressure and limited preparedness, increasing vulnerability to marital breakdown. This article examines the legal position of marriage involving pregnant women outside wedlock, the factors contributing to divorce in such unions, and the legal consequences for spouses and children from the perspective of Islamic law and positive law in Indonesia. Employing a normative juridical method with a descriptive-analytical approach, the discussion is based on statutory regulations, classical fiqh doctrines, the Compilation of Islamic Law, and relevant scholarly literature. The analysis indicates that external pressures, weak mental readiness, and unfavorable social environments are dominant factors leading to divorce in these marriages. Islamic law permits marriage with a pregnant woman under specific conditions and emphasizes the protection of children’s rights as a moral and legal obligation. Nevertheless, the status of lineage and civil rights of children born outside lawful marriage remains limited to the maternal line unless supported by legal proof. The findings highlight that Islamic law seeks to balance legal certainty, moral responsibility, and child protection, ensuring that divorce does not eliminate parental obligations toward the welfare of children.

Abstract

This study critically examines the approval of the Republic of Indonesia's Law No. 1 of 2023 on the Criminal Code (KUHP) as evidence of a growing paradigm change in the national criminal law, particularly in those areas that have historically fallen under the purview of family and religious law. The author sees this phenomenon as a kind of state expansion (penal expansion) that has the potential to create structural tensions between the criminal law of the nation, the core tenets of Islamic family law, and the constitutional protections for religious freedom and the practice of religious teachings for its people. The novelty of this study lies in its integrated and critical approach, which examines the legitimacy of polygamy and nikah siri practices from a fiqh munākaḥāt perspective while also using the uṣūl al-fiqh and maqāṣid al-syarī'ah frameworks to evaluate the criminalization scheme in the KUHP 2023. As a result, the study examines the systemic reasoning behind criminalization, which ignores the distinction between administrative infractions and criminal offenses (jarīmah), rather than merely describing the conflict of norms. Using a normative legal approach with legislative, conceptual, and Islamic legal components, this study analyzes the law. The author strongly argues that the KUHP 2023's regulation of polygamy and nikah siri reveals a normative conflict with fundamental Islamic family law principles, particularly in relation to the validity of the contract, the goals of marriage, and the protection of the public welfare. The research findings support the idea that criminalizing legitimate religious practice under syariah law has the potential to result in excessive criminalization and violate the principles of substantive fairness and proportionality in criminal law.The study makes a significant academic contribution by formulating a family criminal law reconstruction model that prioritizes welfare by advocating for a shift from criminal punishment to administrative sanction mechanisms and the protection of rights. This model is put forth as a normative alternative that is more in line with the precepts of Islamic law, the constitution, and the humanistic, plurality-sensitive path of national law reform in Indonesia.

Abstract

The regulation of wills (waṣiyyah) in Islamic law demonstrates a complex normative transformation that reflects the interaction between Qur’anic legal verses, juristic interpretation, and contemporary legal systems. Qur’anic provisions on wills, particularly in Q.S. al-Baqarah (180–182, 240) and Q.S. al-Mā’idah (106), initially positioned the will as a central mechanism for ensuring moral responsibility, social protection, and distributive justice prior to the formal codification of inheritance law. Subsequent developments in Islamic jurisprudence, however, introduced doctrinal limitations following the revelation of inheritance verses, reshaping the function of the will within Islamic legal thought. Through a thematic (tafsīr maudhū‘ī) analysis, this article demonstrates that Qur’anic regulations on wills form an integrated normative framework encompassing moral obligation, legal protection, corrective justice, and procedural accountability. When examined in the Indonesian context, the regulation of wills—particularly through the Compilation of Islamic Law—reveals a process of legal adaptation and reconstruction that responds to social realities while remaining anchored in Islamic legal principles. The expansion of concepts such as mandatory wills (waṣiyyah wājibah) illustrates how Islamic law operates dynamically within a plural legal system. This analysis underscores that wills function not merely as a residual legal instrument subordinate to inheritance law, but as a converging point between Qur’anic norms, juristic reasoning, and state regulation in contemporary Islamic family law.

Abstract

Guardianship of orphans constitutes a fundamental legal institution within Islamic law, yet existing studies often remain normative and fragmented in their treatment of Qur’anic sources. This article presents a thematic interpretation of Qur’anic legal verses related to orphan guardianship in order to construct a coherent and systematic conceptual framework. Relevant verses dispersed across multiple chapters are examined through a maudhu’i (thematic) approach, taking into account contextual background, inter-verse relations, and the objectives of Islamic law. The analysis reveals that the Qur’an establishes orphan guardianship on the principles of trust (amanah), justice, public welfare, and accountability, with particular emphasis on the protection of property and the gradual development of the child’s legal and economic capacity. The guardian is positioned as a trustee with limited and temporary authority rather than an absolute holder of power. The obligation to transfer property upon the attainment of maturity and sound judgment (rusyd) underscores guardianship as a transitional legal mechanism oriented toward autonomy rather than dependency. These findings demonstrate that orphan guardianship in the Qur’an functions as a structured legal institution grounded in substantive justice, not merely moral exhortation. This article contributes to the field of Qur’anic legal studies by offering a thematic synthesis that is both conceptually rigorous and relevant to contemporary discussions on Islamic family law and child protection.
