Abstract

Interfaith marriage in Indonesia has long been a controversial legal issue, particularly following the issuance of Supreme Court Circular Letter (SEMA) No. 02 of 2023, which explicitly prohibits the registration of marriages between individuals of different religions. This policy has raised significant concerns regarding legal certainty and its alignment with substantive justice, especially when examined through the lens of Maqasid al-Sharia. This study aims to analyze the extent of legal certainty governing interfaith marriage under Indonesia’s positive law framework and to assess its conformity with the objectives of Islamic law. Employing a normative juridical method, this research utilizes statutory, conceptual, and doctrinal approaches, drawing upon legislation, Islamic legal doctrines, and relevant academic literature. The findings reveal that, under positive law, interfaith marriage lacks formal legal validity as it contravenes Article 2 paragraph (1) of Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage, a position further reinforced by SEMA No. 02 of 2023 as a binding judicial guideline. From the perspective of Maqasid al-Sharia, the prohibition is consistent with the protection of the five essential objectives of Islamic law (al-daruriyyat al-khams), particularly the preservation of religion (hifz al-din) and lineage (hifz al-nasl). Nevertheless, this study also identifies inconsistencies in the implementation of SEMA No. 02 of 2023 at the practical level, which may undermine legal certainty and result in unequal legal treatment. Therefore, this research recommends the strengthening of legal harmonization through clearer statutory regulation, enhanced inter-institutional coordination, and improved guidance for law enforcement and civil registration authorities to ensure consistent application in accordance with the principles of legal certainty, justice, and social welfare.

Abstract

The adoption of children from extramarital relationships is a complex legal issue because it involves legal, social, and religious dimensions at the same time. This study aims to analyze the comparison of the regulation of adoption of children out of wedlock in Islamic law and positive law in Indonesia, especially related to the legal status of children, civil relations, and the implications of their rights. This research uses a normative-juridical approach with a comparative legal method, through an examination of laws and regulations, court decisions, fatwas, as well as relevant Islamic law and national law literature. The results of the study show that in Indonesia's positive law, children out of wedlock can obtain a civil relationship with their biological father as long as it is scientifically proven and determined through legal mechanisms, but does not automatically obtain inheritance rights from adoptive parents except through grants or mandatory wills. Meanwhile, Islamic law views the adoption of children in the form of kafālah, which emphasizes the parenting aspect without changing the child's nasab, inheritance rights, and marital status. The difference in principle between the two legal systems poses normative challenges in the practice of child protection, so an integrative approach is needed that is able to ensure the best interests of children without ignoring Islamic sharia values. This research contributes by offering a conceptual framework for harmonization between Islamic law and national law in the regulation of out-of-wedlock child adoption based on the protection of children's rights.

Abstract

The choice of a life partner is a fundamental aspect in Islamic marriage law because it has a direct effect on the formation of a harmonious family. This study aims to analyze Buya Hamka's perspective on the criteria for ideal couples in Islamic marriage and its relevance to contemporary legal and social contexts. This research uses a qualitative approach through literature studies, with the main source in the form of Buya Hamka's works, including Tafsir al-Azhar, Great Pribadi, Living Institutions, and Modern Sufism. The results of the study show that Buya Hamka places faith and morals as the main foundation in choosing a partner, outperforming physical, economic, and social status considerations. In addition, Hamka emphasized the concept of kafā'ah which is not solely material, but includes the harmony of religious understanding, education, character, and vision of life. This view is in line with the purpose of marriage in Indonesia's positive law which emphasizes the formation of a happy, prosperous, and sustainable family. This research contributes by enriching the treasure of Islamic family law thought through the formulation of ideal couple criteria based on the integration of religious, social, and psychological values that are relevant to strengthening the resilience of Muslim families in the modern era.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the communication patterns of married couples who work in using social media effectively and adaptively to maintain household harmony. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with the determination of informants based on the principle of data saturation, considering that the population number is not known for sure. A total of 12 informants who were married couples with formal employment status were randomly selected. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews and thematic analysis. The results of the study show that face-to-face communication remains the most crucial and effective foundation in maintaining household harmony, especially in resolving sensitive issues and deep conflicts. Meanwhile, social media functions as a complement to practical communication, especially in conditions of limited time, long distance relationships, and as a means of defusing conflicts in the early stages. However, the majority of informants consider that social media is not yet fully effective in conveying crucial issues such as criticism and differences of opinion due to the high risk of misunderstandings. These findings indicate that household harmony (sakinah, mawaddah, and rahmah) is supported by the application of interpersonal communication norms, such as openness, emotional control, mutual respect, and the establishment of ethical boundaries in digital behavior to prevent conflicts, including the potential for online infidelity. Based on these findings, this study recommends that married couples who actively work build a balanced communication agreement between face-to-face communication and social media utilization, accompanied by digital communication literacy oriented towards ethical values and family resilience.

Abstract

The phenomenon of contract marriage (nikah kontrak) in Cianjur Regency has emerged as a significant legal and socio-religious issue within Indonesian society, attracting both national and international scholarly attention. This study is driven by two core research questions: (1) How is Regent Regulation No. 38 of 2021 implemented in addressing the practice of contract marriage? and (2) To what extent does this regulation reflect and uphold the objectives of Islamic law (Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah)? The research aims to critically examine the legal implementation and social impact of the regulation, particularly on individuals involved in contract marriages. Employing a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical and case-study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with contract marriage actors, community leaders, and government officials. The findings reveal that contract marriages in Cianjur occur through various forms of informal or semi-formal arrangements often without legal guardians or witnesses, or with invalid ones thereby fulfilling only the outward form of marriage without generating legal consequences such as the obligation of ʿiddah. From the Sunni legal perspective, such practices are considered invalid, whereas in the Shiʿa Imamiyah tradition, they may resemble nikah mutʿah under specific conditions. The persistence of contract marriage is influenced by internal factors (economic necessity, cultural accommodation) and external factors (social tolerance and weak enforcement). Although Regent Regulation No. 38/2021 seeks to curb the practice, its implementation has yet to produce a substantial deterrent effect. Within the broader global discourse on Islamic legal reform, this study underscores the necessity of integrating normative Islamic legal principles with contextual socio-legal realities. A more comprehensive strategy combining legal enforcement, community education, and theological engagement is essential to safeguard the higher objectives of Islamic law and protect vulnerable parties in marital relations.

Abstract

Waqf plays a strategic role in strengthening the Islamic economy and promoting social welfare. However, scholarly debate persists regarding whether being Muslim constitutes a substantive legal requirement for a waqif, particularly within Indonesia’s pluralistic socio-legal context. Existing studies largely focus on administrative or economic aspects of waqf, while the normative tension between classical Islamic jurisprudence and Indonesian positive law on the religious status of the waqif remains underexplored. This study aims to address this gap by critically examining the requirement of Islamic faith for waqif from the perspectives of Islamic jurisprudence and Indonesian waqf law. Employing a qualitative normative-juridical method, the research analyzes classical and contemporary fiqh sources from the four Sunni schools (Ḥanafī, Mālikī, Syāfi‘ī, and Ḥanbalī), alongside national regulations, particularly Law No. 41 of 2004 on Waqf and Government Regulation No. 42 of 2006. The findings demonstrate that, within Islamic jurisprudence, being Muslim is not an absolute prerequisite for the validity of waqf, except when the object of waqf is directly related to ritual worship, such as mosques. The Ḥanafī, Syāfi‘ī, and Ḥanbalī schools emphasize legal capacity (ahliyyah al-taṣarruf), ownership, and lawful objectives as determining factors of validity. Similarly, Indonesian waqf law does not impose religious restrictions on waqif, provided that the waqf serves public benefit and does not contradict sharia principles. This study contributes to the discourse on waqf law by demonstrating that the requirement of Islam for waqif functions as a contextual moral and spiritual value rather than a rigid juridical condition, thereby highlighting a normative convergence between classical fiqh and national law in prioritizing social justice and public welfare.

Abstract

The phenomenon of Early marriage remains a critical social issue in Blangkejeren District, Gayo Lues Regency, with significant implications for the fulfilment of children’s rights within the family. Despite the existence of a comprehensive legal framework, particularly Law Number 35 of 2014 on Child Protection, its implementation at the family level among early-married couples remains ineffective. This study examines the fulfilment of children’s rights in families practising early marriage and identifies the legal and socio-familial factors hindering its realisation. Employing a juridical-empirical approach with a qualitative descriptive design, the research integrates normative legal analysis with empirical data collected through in-depth interviews with early-married families, community leaders, and relevant institutions. The findings reveal a clear gap between legal norms and social practice, as children’s rights related to caregiving, education, and health are inadequately fulfilled. These conditions are driven by parents’ economic and psychological unpreparedness, limited legal awareness, and weak institutional support. The study highlights the need to strengthen child protection law implementation through structured premarital education, young family empowerment, and enhanced institutional oversight.

Abstract

Neglect of maintenance by the husband is one of the dominant factors that cause divorce which is not always related to structural poverty, but also to unproductive behavior and intentional neglect in fulfilling household economic obligations. This study aims to analyze the social dynamics of maintenance negligence, identify the main causative factors, examine its impact on family stability, and evaluate the effectiveness of custom-based mediation mechanisms in conflict resolution in Gampong Neuheun, Mesjid Raya District, Aceh Besar Regency. This study uses a qualitative approach with the type of field research. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with gampong officials, traditional leaders, and religious leaders, and strengthened by participatory observation and documentation studies. The results of the study show that livelihood instability is more predominantly caused by laziness, the involvement of the husband in online gambling, and dependence on social assistance that is not managed productively, thus triggering prolonged conflicts and increasing the risk of divorce. Customary mediation has been proven to play a role in reducing conflicts in the early stages, but its effectiveness is limited when it is not accompanied by a commitment to behavior change from the husband. This study recommends strengthening community-based regulations and supervision as well as family economic empowerment programs that are integrated with customary mediation mechanisms as preventive measures to reduce the divorce rate due to neglect of alimony.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of marriage among female students of UIN Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh during the study period through the perspective of hifz al-'ird in maqashid al-shariah, which is a principle that emphasizes the maintenance of honor and self-dignity. This phenomenon is interesting to study because of the increasing choice of marriage during college which gives rise to academic, social, and religious dynamics for female students. The study used a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques in the form of in-depth interviews with three married female students during the study period and documentation as supporting data. The data were analyzed thematically to identify the driving factors, impacts, and relevance to the concept of hifz al-'ird. The results of the study showed that the decision to marry was influenced by religious motivation, family support, mental and emotional readiness, economic considerations, and the desire to have a supportive partner in academic and household life. In terms of impact, marriage provides a positive influence in the form of moral protection, emotional support, increased responsibility, and more targeted social relations; But it also presents challenges such as the division of time between studies and household, potential academic obstacles, limited social interaction, and a decrease in focus on learning in certain situations. In the perspective of hifz al-'ird, marriage during the study period is understood as a means of maintaining honor, dignity, and personal integrity in line with the purpose of maqashid al-sharia in protecting the moral, psychological, and social aspects of individuals. The study recommends that universities provide academic support and family counseling for married female students during their studies to maintain a balance between academic responsibilities and home life.

Abstract

Parental grants (hibah) to children are commonly practiced as an expression of affection and as a means of managing family property during one’s lifetime. However, in practice, such grants often give rise to legal issues, particularly when they affect the distribution of inheritance after the parents’ death. This article aims to examine the legal position of hibah from the perspective of Islamic law, the practice of parental grants to children, and the impact of such grants on inheritance according to Islamic law and Indonesian positive law. This study employs a qualitative approach with a normative-juridical method through library research, analyzing the Qur’an, Hadith, Islamic jurisprudential principles, the Compilation of Islamic Law, and relevant legal literature. The findings indicate that hibah in Islamic law is a valid legal transaction as long as it is conducted voluntarily, fairly, and while the grantor is still alive. Parental grants to children are permissible but must uphold the principle of justice to prevent inequality and family disputes. In principle, a valid hibah does not constitute inheritance property. Nevertheless, under certain circumstances such as unjust grants, grants made shortly before death, or grants intended to circumvent inheritance rules hibah may be calculated as part of the inheritance, as stipulated in Article 211 of the Compilation of Islamic Law. Therefore, hibah and inheritance are closely interconnected and must be implemented based on principles of justice and public benefit.
