Abstract

This research delves into the intricate interplay between societal norms and the honor attributed to women, specifically addressing the pervasive myths surrounding the virginity of Muslim women in Indonesia. Rooted in the negative impacts experienced by women due to their virginity status, this inquiry seeks to unravel the perspectives of 17 Muslim women on the significance of virginity within the context of Islamic teachings. Employing qualitative research methods, including in-depth interviews, the study illuminates nuanced dimensions, shedding light on how these women navigate the complexities surrounding their virginity. The findings underscore three pivotal conclusions: Indonesian Muslim women emphasize the importance of virginity and the need to protect it. Importantly, they highlight that virginity is not solely judged based on the hymen. Moreover, their stories reveal that Islam honors women who maintain their virginity. These conclusions contribute significantly to a more comprehensive understanding of the societal implications and individual experiences associated with the concept of virginity among Muslim women in Indonesia. The study's outcomes hold the potential to inform broader discussions on cultural perceptions and foster awareness, promoting respectful discourse surrounding the role of virginity within the social fabric.

Abstract

The Warung Jablay business in the North Hulu Sungai Regency area has disturbed many residents. Basically, this kind of night girl stall has the same function as other stalls, but often because of the presence of young girls with sexy and skimpy clothes and differences in the way of service provided and differences in customer segmentation which are mostly filled by young people. So, there are many things that violate morals and religion in the field, and this is not in line with the teachings of Islam. This study aims to map how the practice of Warung Jablay in Hulu Sungai Utara is associated with Perspectives in the Sociology of Islamic Law, because Hulu Sungai Utara Regency is famous for its high religious area and is known as Bertaqwa City. This research is field wise with a qualitative descriptive approach. The results of this study found that people believe that the behavior of some people who run a stall business like this is driven by economic factors and desires. In addition, the community also considered the behavior of Warung Jablay workers to be out of bounds and violated moral, social, and religious norms.

Abstract

The polemic of gender equality and justice in its status and role in society is one of the studies that is often echoed to this day. Polemics over gender equality can be found in various fields, one of which is in the field of education, especially in the learning media, namely textbooks. The purpose of this study is to describe how the discourse or text in the book al-Arabiyah li al-Nasyi'in Volume 2 by Mahmud Ismail Shini reflects the construction and division of gender roles performed by women and men, as well as the impact on readers' understanding of gender roles based on the subject-object position and the position of the author-reader of Sara Mills' theory in the textbook. The data of this research are texts that contain gender perspectives from the textbook al-Arabiyah li al-Nasyi'in Volume 2. The method used in this research is library research. These findings indicate that al-Arabiyah li al-Nasyi'in Vol. 2 reinforces gender bias by portraying women in domestic roles and men in public roles, reflecting patriarchal norms. Such representations shape young readers' perceptions, highlighting the need for more inclusive and equitable educational materials. This study contributes to revealing how gender representation in textbooks shapes the social construction of young readers, while also encouraging the development of more equitable, fair, and stereotype-free educational materials.

Abstract

Communication skills are one of the primary skills that students must possess. Previous research has shown a tendency for communication skills to differ based on gender. Therefore, this study aims to investigate how learning in the digital era can improve communication skills among prospective teachers and to explore whether there are differences in communication skills based on gender. This study uses a comparative descriptive method to assess the level of students’ communication skills, considering gender as one of the influencing factors. The sample consists of 19 male students and 19 female students selected through quota sampling. Data analysis conducted using SPSS shows that overall communication skills are "good," except for multilingual skills, which are "adequate." The results indicate that students’ communication skills are generally good, as evidenced by oral participation such as expressing opinions and asking questions, as well as written work. Communication progress is influenced by learning based on digital technology. Based on gender, there is no significant difference between male and female students, indicating that both are able to develop communication skills at similar levels when given equal educational opportunities. This study contributes to scientific research by demonstrating that the use of digital technology in the learning process can enhance students’ communication skills. Additionally, this study proves that with equal education, gender differences do not affect communication skills. These findings can help in designing more inclusive and effective learning strategies to develop communication skills in the digital era.

Abstract

This study emphasizes how Islamic teachings and traditional gender norms shape gender perceptions in Indonesia, creating significant gaps in education, politics, work access, and economic control. The phenomenon of transgender identity remains debated, reflecting persistent societal adherence to conventional gender expectations. The purpose of this study is to understand the phenomenon of crossdressers as part of a natural and complex spectrum of gender identities and to reduce stigma and discrimination against individuals who practice crossdressing. Using descriptive qualitative methods and a comprehensive scientific approach, this study uses observation, documentation, and interviews as data collection techniques. Primary data were obtained from the results of analyzing content created by several crossdresser accounts on the Facebook social media platform, as well as the results of interviews with account owners, while secondary data were obtained from relevant literature and references. This study concludes that the crossdresser phenomenon reflects complex intersections of gender identity, social perception, and cultural norms. Drawing on Queer Theory, Social Identity Theory, and Islamic perspectives, the findings reveal diverse motivations and societal responses. The research underscores the importance of inclusivity, equality, and human rights while encouraging further dialogue to promote understanding and acceptance of gender diversity. This research contributes by enriching the discourse on gender identity, offering deeper insights into crossdresser experiences, and highlighting the need for inclusive education, equality, and human rights awareness to support more equitable and accepting social environments.

Abstract

The phenomenon of gamophobia in Indonesia reflects a fear of marriage within a permissive society, influenced by uncertainties in gender roles, social pressures, and shifts in traditional values. This issue generates identity conflicts and hinders social harmony in the context of gender and marriage. The purpose of this study is to examine gamophobia as a social pathology within a permissive marriage culture. In this context, "permissive" refers to the tendency to legitimize actions based on individual rights and personal freedom. The study explores various causes of gamophobia, emphasizing that marriage should neither be feared nor excessively debated within the framework of gender dynamics. Using a literature review approach, this article investigates gamophobia in permissive societies, analyzing its complexities through gender and social norms perspectives. The findings indicate that gamophobia, or the fear of committed relationships, is influenced by psychological, gender, social, and cultural factors. A comprehensive approach involving government, education, civil society, and individuals is necessary. The concept of pre-family resilience helps prepare individuals for healthy relationships, while collaboration and supportive environments enhance readiness to build strong, lasting marriages, contributing to healthier communities. This study contributes by demonstrating that gamophobia is a multifaceted issue shaped by psychological, gender, social, and cultural factors. It emphasizes the importance of pre-family resilience and collaboration among government, education, civil society, and individuals to prepare for committed relationships, strengthening family and community dynamics.

Abstract

The practice of talk plays a crucial role in protecting the rights of wives in Islamic marriages in Indonesia and Morocco, allowing them to complain to the courts in case of a breach of the agreement by the husband. Despite its protective purpose, talk implementation is heavily influenced by both countries' social, cultural, and local policy contexts. This study aims to analyze the practice of taklik talak in Indonesia and Morocco to understand the dynamics of gender equality in Islamic family law through a socio-legal approach. This study uses qualitative descriptive, analytical, and comparative methodologies to understand talk implementation, collecting data from Islamic legal texts and legislation. Content analysis is used to explore the influence of cultural and legal factors on the practice and its impact on women's rights. The results show a complex dynamic between religious norms and aspirations for gender equality, as seen in the contradiction between contractual terms prohibiting polygamy and the teachings of the Qur'an. This underscores the need for education, discussion, and legal revision to create a more inclusive and equitable practice of Islamic law. The comparative study of practices in Morocco and Indonesia highlights differences in implementing Islamic legal principles related to gender equality; Morocco has the Moudawana reforms that control polygamy, while Indonesia adopts an approach that supports legal pluralism without significant legislative changes. Recommendations from this study include developing a more inclusive curriculum, organizing discussion forums, conducting broader comparative studies, and reforming legal policies to support gender equality.

Abstract

This research problem originates from the phenomenon of commodifying sadness on Instagram, where women often act as emotional laborers through comments on sad songs. This raises questions about how emotions are produced, expressed, and utilized in the context of digital culture and music consumption. The aim of this study is to describe and analyze forms of commodified sadness reflected in comments on Instagram posts featuring Indonesian sad songs. This research applies netnography, using online ethnography to examine Indonesian Instagram users’ responses to sad songs. Data were collected from popular posts and comments, then analyzed through thematic analysis. All data were taken from public accounts and anonymized in accordance with ethical research standards. The findings reveal that comments are categorized into three groups positive, negative, and neutral with the majority expressing negative emotions such as regret and emotional outpourings. The analysis also identifies themes of emotional commodification, emotional labor, user engagement, cultural context, gender dynamics, and the impact of Instagram through influencers, algorithms, and digital marketing on music consumption. This study contributes to digital media and popular culture scholarship by demonstrating how Instagram comments on sad songs reflect emotions, gender dynamics, and cultural contexts. The findings broaden understanding of emotional commodification, emotional labor, and the role of social media in shaping music consumption in Indonesia.
