Abstract

In reconciliation practices, wives’ consent is often neglected and interpreted differently across Islamic schools, while gender justice emphasizes equality in marriage. The husband’s unilateral right to reclaim his wife after talaq raj‘i reflects persistent male dominance within marital relations. This study analyzes wives’ reconciliation rights from gender justice and Islamic law in Indonesia, identifying transformation of Islamic family law, Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) reconstruction, shift from male authority to participatory relational justice. This study employed a qualitative normative-juridical approach using library research. Primary and secondary data sources were analyzed through content analysis and comparative analysis between classical fiqh perspectives, the KHI, and gender justice perspectives. This study finds: (1) Islamic family law transforms toward gender justice via women’s rights, husbands’ ethical duties, khulu’, and equal marital relations; (2) KHI reconstructs reconciliation by requiring wife’s consent, reinforcing her dignity, autonomy, and gender justice; (3) comparing classical law with gender perspectives shows a shift from absolute male authority to participatory reconciliation and relational justice. This study found a transformation of Islamic family law toward gender justice, the reconstruction of the KHI through the requirement of the wife’s consent, and a shift from absolute male authority toward participatory and relational reconciliation. This study contributes to integrating gender justice and maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah within Islamic law, while also encouraging the strengthening of KHI implementation, judicial training, and the inclusion of wife consent clauses in marriage contracts.

Abstract

Gender discrimination in classical interpretations of the Qur’an persists due to patriarchal bias, while inclusive hermeneutics continues to face conservative resistance despite offering opportunities for justice through feminist reinterpretation. This study aims to analyze gender bias in Qur’anic interpretation, examine structural challenges in developing inclusive interpretations, and explore opportunities for reconstructing egalitarian gender interpretations relevant to contemporary social dynamics. The study employs gender hermeneutics through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method using thematic analysis of classical and contemporary interpretations to identify patriarchal bias and reconstruct gender-inclusive Qur’anic interpretations. The findings reveal three main points: 1) gender bias in the interpretation of QS. 4:34, 4:11, and 4:3 originates from classical patriarchy. Contextual hermeneutics reconstructs the concept of qawwam toward a more inclusive and equitable interpretation of the Qur’an. 2) Inclusive interpretation is hindered by conservative resistance, male-dominated religious institutions, patriarchal legitimization of sharia, and limited female participation in contemporary interpretive reform. 3) Opportunities for reconstructing gender interpretations are supported by global awareness, education, digital technology, changing women’s roles, and international collaboration toward contextual interpretation. The study concludes that gender bias in Qur’anic interpretation is rooted in classical patriarchal structures. Although contextual reconstruction faces structural barriers, education, technology, global awareness, and international collaboration provide opportunities for more equitable interpretations. This study contributes to strengthening contextual hermeneutics, encouraging gender reinterpretation, advocating for equitable family law, utilizing digital media, and increasing women’s participation in religious authority and Qur’anic interpretation.

Abstract

In the Japanese patriarchal system, the male head of the household holds absolute decision-making power, and women are expected to obey all such decisions. The unmarried trend is also widely experienced by men, not only by women. This study aims to analyze how the introduction of feminism has transformed the dynamics of Danjyo Kankei (gender relations) and triggered the unmarried trend in Japan. A qualitative approach was employed, using primary data from Japanese government statistics and secondary data from the literature. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify patterns of feminism, gender relations, and the unmarried trend. The study reveals: (1) The unmarried trend in Japan has intensified, marked by a delay in the age at marriage, a high proportion of the single population, and a decline in birth rates due to changing social values, economic pressures, and rising individualism. (2) Feminism has transformed Japanese gender relations from ie patriarchy toward equality. Policies that strengthen women’s economic independence have enabled women to freely choose unmarried status as a form of autonomy and resistance. The study concludes that the transformation of gender relations and the unmarried trend in Japan are interrelated as outcomes of feminist change. Feminism deconstructs ie patriarchy through education and economic independence, making unmarried status a rational strategy in response to economic pressures and gender inequality. This study reinforces feminist constructivism by demonstrating that patriarchy operates through cultural, economic, and familial mechanisms, and emphasizes the importance of structural policies and more equitable, autonomous spaces for individual life choices.

Abstract

Amid the global climate crisis, women who are disproportionately affected by environmental degradation are often excluded from ecological decision-making. Environmental exploitation coincides with the marginalization of women within patriarchal structures. As forests vanish and water becomes polluted, women’s voices are silenced. The purpose of this study is to analyze the structural roots of patriarchy in ecological crises and the central role of women in environmental conservation for sustainability. Using an integrative critical literature review combined with in-depth interviews, secondary and primary data were thematically analyzed through triangulation to identify conceptual patterns, patriarchal power relations, and women’s ecological knowledge in promoting environmental sustainability. The findings indicate that, first, patriarchy operates through structural mechanisms that constitute the shared root of gender inequality and ecological crises. Second, environmental exploitation represents the most dominant issue, accompanied by significant impacts and the subordination of women. Third, ecofeminism positions women as key actors in conservation, where women-led initiatives reduce environmental degradation while simultaneously empowering women. This study concludes that patriarchy constitutes the structural root of ecological crises; however, women-led conservation efforts can reduce environmental degradation while simultaneously strengthening women’s empowerment. This study contributes to strengthening ecofeminism empirically by demonstrating gender inequality as a mediating factor and by proposing integrative policy recommendations.

Abstract

Female cosplayers (costume play) in Indonesian digital communities experience objectification and victim blaming, as illustrated in the case of Ai Kirishima, where online responses reinforce gender bias and moral surveillance. This study aims to critically analyze how digital discourse is constructed in cases of gender-based violence against female cosplayers, focusing on three layers of discourse: media framing, patterns of public comments, and the reproduction of legitimized violence. This study employs a qualitative approach using Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis to examine media framing, public comments, and social context in the Ai Kirishima case through digital comment data analyzed thematically. This study identifies three findings: 1) social media frames the tragedy in a sensational and gender-biased manner, prioritizing virality over victim sensitivity and generating ambiguous empathy and victim blaming. 2) public comments are dominated by victim blaming, body objectification, and perpetrator justification, while empathy toward victims remains a minority. 3) digital discourse reproduces the legitimization of gender-based violence by shifting sympathy from victims to perpetrators. This study concludes that digital media reproduces systemic gender bias: media frame events sensationally, online users engage in victim blaming, and sympathy shifts toward perpetrators, thereby reinforcing the legitimization of gender-based violence. This study contributes to digital gender studies by introducing the concept of sympathy reversal, while also promoting critical gender literacy, platform reform, and victim-centered media framing.

Abstract

The increasing spread of radicalism in rural areas places women as the most affected group; however, they remain excluded from peacebuilding and development processes. This situation reflects a serious irony that may threaten the long-term social sustainability of Indonesia’s future. This study analyzes the Peace Village Program’s response to rural radicalism through women’s empowerment and evaluates its impact on peace declarations and cooperative-based economic institutions. This qualitative case study employed document analysis, participatory observation, and interviews. Data were analyzed thematically using source triangulation and audit trail techniques to ensure validity and adherence to research ethics. The study findings indicate that: (1) the Peace Village Program responds to rural radicalism by empowering women through strengthening tolerance, peace, economic capacity, as well as training and advocacy; (2) the program successfully declares peace villages and empowers women as entrepreneurs; and (3) economic empowerment through the Peace Village Cooperative integrates nine peace indicators, establishes Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes), and distributes loans. The study concludes that the Peace Village Program effectively addresses radicalism and empowers women economically, but high participation does not ensure substantive power due to elite dominance and donor dependency. This study contributes to strengthening an integrative approach to village-based peacebuilding and emphasizes the importance of a power perspective, while highlighting the need to enhance women’s capacity, local institutions, and economic sustainability.

Abstract

Gender-based crimes against women in Katsina State occur at alarming levels and are systemically entrenched amid armed conflict. Extreme poverty, patriarchal norms, and weak legal protection create spaces of impunity for perpetrators, while inadequate institutional responses exacerbate women’s vulnerability and silence survivors. The aim of this study is to examine the structural factors underlying violence, the dominant forms of violence, and the implementation gaps in gender-based violence (GBV) protection policies in Katsina State, Nigeria. This study employs Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) with in-depth interviews conducted with 14 survivors and key informant interviews. The data were thematically analyzed using source triangulation, member checking, and reflexivity to ensure validity. Three key findings: (1) structural factors: poverty, economic inequality, internal displacement, patriarchal norms, with most vulnerable groups; (2) dominant violence: rape, survival-based sexual exploitation, economic neglect by husbands, forced marriage, physical and psychological violence; (3) government adopted Child Rights Act, VAPP Act, GBV centers, but implementation constrained by weak law enforcement, poor coordination, limited rural access, cultural norms sustaining impunity. This study concludes violence against women in Katsina State is driven by poverty, patriarchy, and displacement, dominated by rape, sexual exploitation, and forced marriage, while weak policies and impunity sustain it. This study contributes by strengthening structural feminist and intersectionality perspectives and proposes an ecosystem model that simultaneously addresses economic neglect, cultural norms, and the roles of religious leaders.

Abstract

A major issue in classical fiqh is gender representation, where women are often positioned subordinate to men. Masāil al-Nisā’ constructs female identities and domestic roles through the repetition of socio-religious norms. This study analyzes the construction of gender in Masāil al-Nisā’ using the performativity theory of Judith Butler. It reveals how fiqh legitimizes binary norms, naturalizes masculine authority, and religiously reproduces women’s subordination within domestic and marital hierarchies. Employing a descriptive qualitative-interpretative approach, thematic analysis, and Butler’s gender performativity theory, the research analyzes primary texts and supporting literature to uncover constructions of women’s roles, identities, and subordination in domestic contexts. The study on Masāil al-Nisāʾ finds that women’s access to the public sphere is conditional and necessity-based with unclear moral regulation. Textual prohibitions against imitating the opposite sex reinforce binary gender divisions. Women are positioned as inherently domestic supporters of husbands or fathers with limited public roles. Although balance is emphasized, male authority in final decisions results in concealed gender subordination. This study concludes that Masāil al-Nisāʾ constructs a normative and hierarchical gender framework, conditionally granting women public space while consistently positioning men as the primary authority, thereby producing covert subordination in gender relations based on religious legitimacy. This study enriches Islamic gender studies, critiques the concept of women's nature (kodrat), state ibuism, and promotes critical reading of fiqh texts.

Abstract

Although Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) are formally recognized within the national education system, the Pesantren Law lacks a specific gender-responsive legal framework. Consequently, male domination, policies without measurable indicators, and low gender literacy continue to perpetuate systemic inequality. This study analyzes the structural, cultural, and regulatory barriers to gender mainstreaming in pesantren, including male domination, normative policies, low gender literacy, the absence of a gender-responsive legal framework in the Pesantren Law, and weak monitoring mechanisms. This study employed a qualitative approach using a systematic literature review (SLR) method based on data from Publish or Perish, ERIC, and Google Scholar databases from 2013–2023. Thematic analysis was conducted using NVivo, while the PRISMA framework ensured validity and reliability. This study identified three findings: (1) gender mainstreaming in pesantren is hindered by male domination, normative policies, low literacy, and no gender framework in the Pesantren Law; (2) the Law lacks indicators and monitoring, so male domination in leadership and curriculum persists; (3) male leadership and conservative interpretations impede equality, demanding curriculum reform, inclusive policies, and women’s empowerment. This study concludes that gender mainstreaming in pesantren remains stagnant due to male domination, policies lacking measurable indicators, and weak regulatory frameworks, thereby making structural reform an urgent necessity. This study contributes to expanding the theory of power relations in education while offering substantive and accountable gender policy reforms in pesantren.

Abstract

Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) have a strong literacy tradition, yet female leaders’ roles in sustaining it are often overlooked. Recognizing their visionary, participatory leadership is essential to understanding how they foster student motivation, literacy practices, and integration of cultural, institutional, and pedagogical dimensions. This study aims to analyze the leadership role of Nyai (wife of the Kiai) in sustaining and developing the literacy culture of santri in pesantren through leadership transformation, the strengthening of literacy institutions, and the establishment of a santri literacy ecosystem. A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The data were analyzed thematically using triangulation of sources, methods, and time to ensure credibility, capture participants’ subjective experiences, and connect the findings with theories of women’s leadership. The study finds three key points. First, the Nyai's leadership transformed into competence-based institutional authority via mandatory reading programs and restructuring. Second, literacy reinforcement combined regulations with non-formal policies, expanding academic spaces and santri participation. Third, literacy success relied on synergy among visionary leadership, santri motivation, spiritual climate, institutional support, and trust in santri to manage literacy. The study concludes that Nyai's leadership transforms from domestic companion to competence-based institutional authority, synergizing visionary leadership, student motivation, and trust to make literacy an institutionalized and regenerated intellectual heritage. This study contributes to enriching transformational leadership and institutional work models, offering a practical literacy empowerment model for Islamic schools.
