Abstract

Hindu jurisprudence has played an important role in the formation of the basis and source of family law in Nepal. This article conducts an in-depth investigation of how Hindu legal principles have influenced the regulation of family law in Nepal. Through careful analysis, it outlines the historical development of Hindu jurisprudence and the way its influence manifests in Nepal's family law provisions, particularly under the National Civil Code 2017. It explores the historical foundations of Hindu law and identifies its practical consequences in the Nepalese context, including possible incongruities between Hindu law and its regulations. In doing so, it provides a deep insight into the complexity of the interaction between Hindu legal traditions and the structure of family law in Nepal. This article discusses in detail the historical development of the recognition of Hindu jurisprudence under Nepal's family law. It illustrates how key laws, such as legal arrangements for marriage, adoption, maintenance, or division, are influenced by Hindu scriptures. The article explains the provisions of the family law (enacted under the National Civil Code, 2017) in light of Hindu laws and practices prevalent in India. It also presents inconsistencies between Hindu laws and embedded regulations. This research approach integrates as legal research with a socio-legal approach, and a thorough literature review to uncover the impact of Hindu jurisprudence on Nepali family law, particularly under the National Civil Code 2017. Through these methods, this article strengthens the understanding of the complex relationship between Hindu legal tradition and family law regulation in Nepal. The conclusion of this study highlights the importance of understanding the practical implications of the application of Hindu law in the context of Nepalese family law, as well as emphasizing the need for consistency and harmonization between Hindu law and applicable regulations to achieve justice in Nepal's evolving family law system.

Abstract

The age of marriage for women is influenced by various socio-economic and cultural factors and remains a controversial topic in Sri Lanka. Child marriages are highly destructive, violating the fundamental rights of children protected by multiple global and national laws. The Eastern Province of Sri Lanka is particularly affected by this issue, resulting in children abandoning education and facing sexual, physical, and emotional violence, as well as premature motherhood. This study aims to identify the socio-economic and cultural factors driving child marriage in this region and to assess its impacts on the lives of those affected. Utilising a mixed-method approach, data were collected through questionnaire surveys and semi-structured interviews with young women who experienced early marriage, their parents, community leaders, and other informed individuals. The literature review included research articles, reports, and web publications to construct the theoretical framework. Findings indicate that factors such as parental marriage at a young age, parental death, dowry, poverty, large family sizes, and lack of interest in education significantly contribute to early marriages. Physical and psychological effects were found to be more prevalent than other social and economic impacts. These findings provide a foundation for future research and policy interventions aimed at mitigating child marriage.

This article will analyse Decision Number: 48/Pdt.Sus/2011 on grant cancellation. The method used in this research uses a normative juridical approach method by examining the results of the decision. This research aims to understand how Islamic law is applied in grant dispute cases, particularly in the context of grant cancellation between parents and their children.

Abstract

Divorce in Islamic law is, in principle, permissible yet strongly discouraged, and is regarded as a last resort when marital life can no longer be sustained. Islam emphasizes that, prior to divorce, both spouses should strive to maintain harmony and peaceful cohabitation, since marriage constitutes one of the most sacred and enduring bonds. The dissolution of marriage may occur either through ṭalāq or through a divorce lawsuit. In Indonesia, divorce may only be finalized before the Religious Court, after the court has attempted reconciliation but failed. This study aims to analyze (1) the factors contributing to the failure of mediation in divorce cases at the Ambarawa Religious Court, and (2) the strategies employed by judges to address and mitigate mediation breakdowns in such cases. This research is a field-based study using an empirical juridical approach, examining how legal norms are applied in practice to individuals, groups, and legal institutions. Primary data were obtained from judges of the Ambarawa Religious Court, while secondary data consisted of interviews with two judges and relevant documentary sources, including Supreme Court Regulation No. 1 of 2016. Data were collected through interviews and document analysis. The findings indicate that mediation failures in divorce cases at the Ambarawa Religious Court are primarily driven by the parties’ attitudes and strategic behavior such as unwillingness to communicate openly, a firm decision to divorce, and participation in mediation merely as a procedural formality to “win” the case often reinforced by third-party intervention, especially from parents. Judicial efforts to facilitate settlement are further constrained by heavy caseloads and the parties’ strong determination to proceed with divorce. The article recommends enhancing mediation quality at the Ambarawa Religious Court through more intensive training for judges/mediators, early screening of internal and external conflict drivers, and expanded pre- and post-mediation counseling services to increase the prospects of reconciliation and reduce divorce rates.

Abstract

In Islam and Indonesian marriage law, the husband is positioned as the primary provider (nafkah), while the wife manages household affairs. However, socio-economic changes and certain circumstances such as the husband’s illness, disability, or insufficient income have led some wives in Lambheu Village, Darul Imarah District, to assume the role of the main breadwinner. This shift generates new dynamics, including emotional and social challenges, as well as questions about its compatibility with Islamic legal norms. This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of wives as primary breadwinners in Lambheu Village and to assess its implications for spousal rights and obligations and for the concept of nafkah from the perspective of Islamic law. The research employs a descriptive qualitative design based on fieldwork, combining document analysis, observation, and in-depth interviews. Primary data were obtained from wives who serve as the economic backbone of their families (case-based informants), while secondary data were drawn from fiqh literature, normative sources, and related studies. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that, from an Islamic legal perspective, the husband remains the principal party responsible for providing financial support, while the wife may work or contribute to family maintenance as long as she continues to observe household responsibilities and does so on the basis of mutual agreement. The Lambheu case indicates that wives typically work due to emergency conditions such as the husband’s illness or financial hardship, highlighting the need for a fair interpretation of role distribution within the family. When carried out wisely and in accordance with Sharia, a wife’s employment is not a violation but rather an effort to strengthen family resilience and harmony. The article recommends strengthening household agreements through deliberation (musyawarah) on role-sharing, enhancing religious guidance and family counseling, and expanding community/state support (access to healthcare, economic empowerment, and social protection) so that wives’ economic contributions do not negate the husband’s nafkah obligation and the family’s overall welfare (maslahah) is maintained.

From the motives underlying the practices of career women, when viewed from the perspective of Alfred Schutz's phenomenological theory are practices that are in accordance with his stated. Meanwhile, according to Jasser Auda's maqasid sharia perspective, hifz ad-din is realized by maintaining boundaries in accordance with religious rules. Hifz al-maal is realized by providing for needs of the family and children. Hifdzunnafs occurs through the realization of the functions of socialization, protection, emotional support, recreation, and love in family. Hifz al-aql is realized the function of education and providing a good religious foundation for children. Hifz an-nasl is realized by making time to gather with the family. Hifz al-'ird is realized by appearing appropriately, not excessively and not violating religious teachings. This study recommends strengthening maqāṣid-based family resilience literacy through a more equitable division of roles between husband and wife, structured communication and conflict management, and community support as well as family-friendly workplace policies.

Abstract

In India, Muslim Personal Law (Sharia-based) inheritance rules are frequently applied in social contexts that lack the ethical and institutional supports presumed in an ideal Islamic society. This gap facilitates the misuse of inheritance norms to the detriment of legally entitled yet socially vulnerable heirs—particularly women, elderly widows, and orphans—through the denial of shares, coercion, administrative obstruction, and the exploitation of guardianship arrangements and intra-family power asymmetries. The aim of this article is to examine the structure of Islamic inheritance in the Qur’an and Hadith, its implementation and disputes in Indian courts, and the legal, socio-economic impacts of its application in a non-Islamic system, including state interventions and community strategies to circumvent inheritance distributions. Employing a qualitative, descriptive design grounded in documentary and doctrinal analysis, the study synthesizes Qur’anic and Hadith provisions, selected contemporary references (including Saudi Arabia’s 2022 Family Law as a comparative articulation of farā’iḍ rules), and selected Indian judicial decisions and scholarly works to identify recurrent patterns of dispute, exploitation, and institutional response. The findings indicate that Islamic inheritance is often perceived as impractical under prevailing conditions because certain allocations may grant substantial shares to the deceased’s parents, while the widow and children who shoulder continuing livelihood needs may receive comparatively less. These parental shares may subsequently devolve to their heirs (including the deceased’s siblings), effectively shifting estate benefits to parties who may not assume responsibility for the surviving dependents. Indian courts therefore confront a dual mandate: applying Muslim personal law while delivering social justice amid heavy caseloads and persistent misuse of inheritance rules. This article recommends promoting reforms at both the community and state levels, with a focus on strengthening rights awareness, enforcing heirs’ obligations, protecting widows and orphans, improving administrative oversight, and developing Sharia-compliant mechanisms such as transparent hibah (inter vivos gifts), so that state intervention becomes a last resort.

Abstract

Matrimonial incorporeal injury (MID) refers to non-physical harms or wrongs committed by a husband against his wife, such as verbal abuse, cruelty, lack of maintenance, sexual deprivation, abandonment, and controlling behavior. It encompasses all forms of damage, harm, or loss suffered by the wife and inflicted by the husband. In other words, MID includes all factors that negatively affect the rights of the wife and hinder her enjoyment of the marriage contract in any way. The major problem addressed in this study is the inability of litigants to provide sufficient evidence to prove this type of injury, as it usually occurs in private. Consequently, judges often overlook the injury and issue inappropriate judicial remedies, particularly to women, which in turn causes further harm. The main aim of the paper is to highlight the judicial shortcomings of Shari’a court judges when handling such cases and to explore ways of enhancing the effectiveness of the Islamic legal framework on MID. It also seeks to address the practical challenges in obtaining judicial remedies by using qualitative measures to collect data, given that an empirical approach was predominantly adopted. A doctrinal method was also partially used to analyze tertiary sources in order to demonstrate the occurrence of the phenomenon globally. One of the findings of the study is that this type of injury is frequently ignored by the courts, and compensation is rarely awarded. Major challenges include the difficulty of evidential procedures, the lack of awareness of women’s rights among both genders, and judges’ inadequate appreciation of the concept of MID. This situation enables parties to continue committing such wrongs without consequences. The study therefore recommends, among other measures, that religious leaders and preachers intensify public awareness on women’s matrimonial rights, and that judges develop improved procedures to help litigants sustain their claims by thoroughly exploring principles of Islamic law and exercising proper judicial activism to extract evidence.
