Abstract

This study employs a normative qualitative method with an analysis of classical and contemporary literature. The paper examines accusations of zina and legal protection for victims in the digital era. The background of the study is rooted in the complexity of the dissemination of zina allegations through social media and digital communication platforms, which have serious implications for individual honor, social reputation, and moral integrity. From the perspective of Islamic jurisprudence, unsubstantiated allegations are categorized as qadhf, requiring stringent evidentiary standards, including the testimony of four morally upright male witnesses or a voluntary confession, with violations attracting multidimensional sanctions such as corporal punishment, social discredit, and spiritual accountability. Indonesian positive law provides protection through the Criminal Code (KUHP) and the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE), allowing victims to pursue criminal liability, compensation, and reputational rehabilitation. The results indicate that effective legal protection requires a multi-layered approach integrating law enforcement, technological interventions, and public education to restore victims’ social credibility and enhance deterrence against false accusations.

Abstract

This paper examines the transformation of zina in the digital era and its implications for the enforcement of Islamic criminal law. The background of the study is rooted in the emergence of technology-mediated sexual practices such as sexting, cybersex, and the online dissemination of intimate content that challenge the classical fiqh conception of zina as a physical act subject to strict ḥudūd evidentiary standards. Using a qualitative normative-empirical research method, the study analyzes classical fiqh sources, contemporary legal literature, and documented digital practices. The research stages include problem identification, literature review, data collection on digital behaviors, analysis through maqāṣid al-sharīʿah and ijtihād frameworks, and synthesis of findings. The results show a significant juridical gap between traditional evidentiary mechanisms and digitally mediated sexual misconduct, compounded by issues of digital evidence reliability, jurisdiction, and privacy protection. The discussion highlights both the enduring relevance and structural limitations of classical evidentiary paradigms, underscoring the need for adaptive, multidimensional legal approaches within Islamic criminal law.

Abstract

This article examines the legal construction and practical implementation of the prosecutor’s authority in pre-prosecution and prosecution under the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP). The study departs from the normative ideal of an integrated criminal justice system that positions the prosecutor as dominus litis, responsible for controlling the flow of criminal cases from investigation to adjudication. Using a normative juridical method with a statute-based and conceptual approach, this research critically analyses the regulatory framework governing pre-prosecution and prosecution, as well as its application in practice. The findings indicate that although KUHAP formally grants prosecutors a strategic role in ensuring the completeness of case files and the legality of prosecutions, the existing regulatory design, particularly under the old KUHAP, tends to produce procedural formalism, weak coordination between investigators and prosecutors, and limited mechanisms of accountability. The article further argues that recent reforms introduced in the new KUHAP reflect a paradigm shift towards strengthening judicial control and due process safeguards, especially through the reconfiguration of pretrial mechanisms. However, these normative improvements still face structural and institutional challenges that may hinder their effectiveness. This study contributes to the development of criminal procedural law by highlighting the normative–practical gap in prosecutorial functions and offering a critical foundation for evaluating prosecutorial reform in Indonesia’s evolving criminal justice system.

Abstract

The rapid development of information technology has fundamentally transformed commercial activities, particularly through the growth of online buying and selling transactions conducted via digital platforms. These transactions are legally based on agreements between business actors and consumers, thereby creating civil law relationships governed by commercial and contract law principles. However, in practice, online transactions frequently give rise to legal problems, including breach of contract, non-conformity of goods or services, misinformation, and various forms of consumer loss. These issues highlight the need for effective legal protection mechanisms to balance the unequal positions of consumers and business actors in the digital marketplace. This study aims to analyze the forms and effectiveness of consumer legal protection in online buying and selling agreements from a commercial law perspective. The research employs a normative legal research method using statutory and conceptual approaches, focusing on relevant commercial law principles, consumer protection regulations, and electronic transaction laws. The analysis examines the extent to which existing legal frameworks provide preventive and repressive protection for consumers, particularly in relation to contractual rights, obligations, and dispute resolution mechanisms. The findings indicate that commercial law and related regulations have established a normative foundation for consumer protection in online transactions. Nevertheless, significant challenges remain in their practical implementation, particularly regarding law enforcement effectiveness, regulatory supervision, and the level of public legal awareness. Strengthening institutional enforcement and improving consumer legal literacy are therefore essential to ensure effective consumer protection in the digital trading environment.

Abstract

The development of flexible work systems and remote working encourages changes in employee work patterns in various organizations, including in the regulation of working hours. Flexibility in working hours is seen as one of the policies that has the potential to affect employee performance in the face of increasingly dynamic work demands. This study aims to examine the effect of flexible working hours on employee performance on the implementation of flexible and remote working systems in Indonesia. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with a literature study method. The research data is in the form of secondary data obtained from national journal articles accessed through Google Scholar and analyzed using content analysis. The results of the study show that flexible working hours tend to have a positive influence on employee performance, especially through increased work focus, more effective time management, and reduced work stress levels. However, this influence is highly dependent on the management of organizational policies, including clarity of work rules, discipline, and supervision systems. Therefore, the implementation of flexible working hours needs to be designed in a structured manner to support the optimal improvement of employee performance.

Abstract

The annulment of an arbitration award in Indonesia is an exceptional legal mechanism and is strictly regulated in Article 70 of Law Number 30 of 1999 concerning Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution (AAPS Law). Although the arbitral award is final and binding, cancellation can be made if a false document, a concealed decisive document, or a judgment born of deception is found. The submission mechanism is carried out in writing to the District Court within a period of 30 days from the registration of the decision, with supporting evidence. Arbitrators and arbitrators acquire legal immunity, but liability may arise in the event of a serious breach of the integrity of the process. This study discusses the legal basis of annulment, the form of accountability of arbitrators and arbitration institutions, the filing mechanism, and the legal consequences of annulment of an award, to provide a comprehensive understanding of legal protection and legal certainty in arbitration.

Abstract

The development of digital technology has brought significant changes in the pattern of creation, distribution, and consumption of copyrights. On the one hand, the digital era encourages innovation and ease of access to intellectual works, but on the other hand it also increases the practice of copyright infringement such as digital piracy. This condition poses a serious challenge to the copyright law protection system, especially in maintaining a balance between the protection of the interests of creators and the public interest. This research aims to analyze the challenges of copyright protection in the digital era and examine legal remedies that can be taken in dealing with piracy practices. The research method used is normative juridical research with a legislative approach and a conceptual approach, through the study of laws and regulations related to copyright and relevant legal literature. The research stages include the collection of primary and secondary legal materials, normative analysis, and deductive conclusions. The results of the study show that weak law enforcement, low public legal awareness, and faster technological developments than regulations are the main factors for the rise of digital piracy. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen regulations, increase public legal literacy, and synergy between the government, creative industry players, and digital platforms to create an effective and fair copyright protection system in the digital era.

Abstract

Cross-border digital trade has become an essential part of the modern global trading system. These developments prompted countries to establish trade agreements that not only govern the exchange of goods and services, but also include arrangements related to data and information. The trade agreement between the Republic of Indonesia and the United States is a form of cooperation that has direct implications for digital trade practices in Indonesia. This study aims to examine the impact of the Indonesia-US trade agreement on the protection of personal data in digital trade in Indonesia. The research method used is normative legal research with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The results of the study show that the Indonesia-US trade agreement has the potential to encourage the growth of digital trade, but at the same time poses challenges in ensuring personal data protection and legal certainty for consumers. Therefore, efforts are needed to harmonize international trade agreement commitments and national laws so that digital trade can flourish without overriding the protection of citizens' privacy rights.

Abstract

Unilateral termination of employment (PHK) by companies is a crucial problem in industrial relations because it has the potential to cause injustice and violations of workers' rights. The practice of unilateral layoffs is often carried out without going through the procedures set by laws and regulations, thus contradicting the principle of protecting workers as parties who are structurally in a weak position. This study aims to analyze the practice of unilateral layoffs by companies from the principles of worker protection and the labor law framework in Indonesia. The research method used is normative legal research with a legislative and conceptual approach, through analysis of the Manpower Law, the Job Creation Law, and related implementing regulations. The results of the study show that the principle of worker protection emphasizes the guarantee of job security, fair treatment, and legal protection of workers' normative rights, including the right to severance pay and dispute resolution mechanisms. Unilateral layoffs that are carried out without a valid reason and without proper legal procedures are a form of violation of this principle. Therefore, consistent law enforcement and strengthening the role of labor supervision are needed to prevent unilateral layoffs and ensure effective protection of workers' rights.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the level of success in the implementation of the labor supervision function in ensuring compliance with the minimum wage provisions in Indonesia. The minimum wage is a basic right of workers that is guaranteed by law, but its implementation in the field still often encounters obstacles. Through a normative juridical research approach, this study examines related laws and regulations, such as Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower and Government Regulation Number 78 of 2015 concerning Wages, as well as evaluating various previous reports and studies. The results of the analysis show that the effectiveness of labor supervision has not been optimal. The main inhibiting factors include the limited number of supervisory personnel, inadequate budget and infrastructure, and the lack of strict sanctions against violators. Comprehensive efforts are needed, both in terms of strengthening regulations, building institutional capacity, and consistent law enforcement, to increase the effectiveness of supervision in order to guarantee workers' rights to a real minimum wage.
