Abstract

This article examines Ki Hadjar Dewantara’s (KHD) contribution to early gender equality discourse in Indonesia through his writings in Madjallah Wasita magazines (1928–1935), produced in a socio-cultural context dominated by patriarchal norms and limited public awareness of women’s rights. In addition to analyzing KHD’s views on women, the study aims to assess the relevance of his thought for the development of gender reform within Islamic and educational thought in Indonesia and to situate it in dialogue with the Muhammadiyah Model for Gender Equality Reform in a Global Context. Employing a qualitative approach grounded in historical discourse analysis and informed by Muslim feminist theory, this research examines selected texts published in Madjallah Wasita as primary sources, supported by relevant secondary literature. This framework enables a contextual reading of gender, education, and moral discourse within early Indonesian reform movements. Findings indicate that KHD articulated three key ideas. First, he emphasized women’s role as mothers as a moral foundation of society, framing motherhood as a source of dignity rather than subordination. Second, he strongly advocated higher education for women as a prerequisite for national progress. Third, he affirmed women’s right to participate in the public sphere, including access to decent work, while maintaining ethical and social norms. These ideas resonate with the Muhammadiyah model, particularly in conceptualizing gender equality as compatible with religious values, educational reform, and social responsibility. The study concludes that KHD advanced a progressive and context-sensitive vision of gender relations that both preceded and complemented later Islamic reform movements, including Muhammadiyah’s transnational approach to faith-based gender equality. It recommends integrating KHD’s gender-inclusive educational philosophy into national education policies, teacher training, and gender-responsive curricula to strengthen contemporary reforms on gender equality and religious authority.

Abstract

This article examines mahar practices in contemporary marriage as a form of structural gender injustice embedded within Islamic family law. Extreme mahar practices whether involving excessively low or excessively high amounts not only deviate from the normative objectives of sharīʿa but also restrict women’s access to marriage, weaken their bargaining position and negotiating capacity, and perpetuate discriminatory and unjust practices within spousal relations. In this context, mahar frequently functions as a symbolic instrument of power relations that positions women in a subordinate role, rather than recognizing them as equal subjects within the marital contract. This study aims to identify the underlying roots of gender injustice in mahar practices and to formulate a conceptual reconstruction grounded in justice and reciprocity through the perspective of mubādalah. The research employs a qualitative normative library-based methodology, utilizing content, comparative, and contextual analyses. Primary sources include the Qur’an, ḥadīth, classical fiqh texts of the four Sunni schools, the Compilation of Islamic Law, and the Marriage Law, while secondary sources consist of scholarly books and peer-reviewed journal articles. The findings indicate that mahar in classical fiqh is inherently flexible and intended to honor and dignify women. A mubādalah-based mahar model reconceptualizes mahar as a symbol of reciprocity and partnership, and demonstrates potential as an instrument for Islamic family law reform aimed at preventing structural injustice and promoting family welfare through gender-responsive policies. This article therefore recommends the adoption of more gender-responsive state policies through the strengthening of family law regulations and the standardization of premarital education.

Abstract

Shifts in gender roles within local labor markets have generated unequal access to employment, giving rise to forms of social injustice manifested in discrimination against single male workers, particularly in rural settings. This article examines how the increasing labor participation of women in Rumbia Subdistrict, Central Lampung Regency, interacts with patriarchal social constructions and informal labor practices, thereby producing patterns of labor exclusion based on gender and marital status. The study aims to: (1) identify the forms of employment discrimination experienced by single men; (2) analyze the structural roots of such injustice; and (3) formulate a problem-solving approach to gender justice. This research employs an implementative qualitative approach through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis. Data sources include female workers, single male job seekers, community leaders, village officials, and local business actors. Data were analyzed using the mubādalah perspective as a supporting theoretical framework, which emphasizes principles of reciprocity, mutuality, and gender equality in social relations. The findings indicate that discrimination against single men constitutes a product of patriarchy-based structural injustice, which simultaneously constrains women’s access to equitable employment opportunities. This dynamic creates a paradox of gender equality within local labor practices. Academically, this study contributes to gender and labor studies by integrating a progressive Islamic perspective (mubādalah) into the analysis of social injustice. From a policy perspective, the article recommends the formulation of non-discriminatory local labor policies, the strengthening of community-based gender education, and the reformulation of village-level labor regulations to foster a fair and inclusive employment system amid ongoing transformations in gender roles.
