Abstract

Sentencing women defendants in Indonesia risks overlooking experiences of violence, unequal power relations, and caregiving responsibilities. The recognition of customary law also requires scrutiny to prevent the reinforcement of gender discrimination in criminal judgments. This study aims to formulate a normative-prescriptive framework for gender-responsive sentencing of women defendants by systematically interpreting Articles 2 and 54 of Indonesia’s National Criminal Code. The study employs a normative juridical method, drawing on statutory, conceptual, and doctrinal-analytical approaches. Legal materials are analyzed qualitatively through grammatical, teleological, and systematic interpretation to develop an accountable gender-responsive sentencing model. The findings reveal three main points. First, Article 2 conditionally recognizes living law, subjecting customary norms to constitutional and non-discrimination principles. Second, feminist legal reasoning applied to Article 54 allows consideration of socioeconomic circumstances, the consequences of punishment, victim forgiveness, community legal values, and relevant experiences of victimization, unequal power relations, and caregiving responsibilities. Third, the study develops a four-component model comprising the identification of customary legal norms, assessment of gender-related circumstances, formulation of integrated legal reasoning in sentencing, and accountability safeguards. Gender-responsive sentencing requires constitutional scrutiny of customary norms and a proportionate consideration of defendants’ circumstances, supported by transparent legal reasoning, without compromising the principles of legality, criminal responsibility, or victims’ rights. In practical terms, the proposed model could inform the development of judicial checklists and judicial training to assess customary norms, consider gender-related circumstances, and strengthen accountability in sentencing decisions, although further empirical validation remains necessary.

Abstract

Interpretations of qiwāmah in Qur’an 4:34 remain divided between classical and reformist readings, both retaining male leadership hierarchies that raise concerns about gender justice, women’s dignity, and violence in family relations. This study compares qiwāmah, nushūz, and ḍaraba in Tafsīr Ibn Kathīr and Tafsīr al-Manār, examines their sociohistorical and epistemological foundations through Abu Zayd’s critical hermeneutics, evaluates their ethical implications using Auda’s systems-based maqāṣid approach, and reconstructs qiwāmah to support gender justice. Using qualitative library research, it integrates comparative exegesis, critical hermeneutics, and maqāṣid-based evaluation of justice, human dignity, and harm prevention. Four findings emerge. First, classical exegesis emphasizes hierarchical authority, whereas reformist exegesis stresses functional responsibility, a more relational understanding of nushūz, and restrictions on physical acts associated with ḍaraba. Second, these differences reflect distinct sociohistorical contexts and epistemological assumptions. Third, neither interpretation fully satisfies maqāṣid principles of justice, dignity, and harm prevention. Fourth, integrated analysis yields an ethical-relational model of qiwāmah grounded in ethical competence, mutual accountability, and nonviolence. The study concludes that shifting from hierarchy toward responsibility does not eliminate normative male leadership; gender justice therefore requires reconstructing family authority around ethical competence, shared responsibility, and nonviolence. The study offers practical implications for developing Qur’anic interpretation modules, training religious counselors, and strengthening family counseling through consultation and nonviolent conflict resolution, subject to empirical validation before institutional adoption. .

Abstract

The increasing participation of women in the labour market has not been accompanied by an adequate understanding of the factors shaping their working hours. In Islamic educational institutions, women’s working hours are determined by the interaction of economic incentives, gender relations, institutional demands, and moral-religious values. This study examines the determinants of working hours and their relationship with the household well-being of female educators through the perspectives of Household Economics, Gender Studies, and Moral Economy. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was employed, integrating multiple linear regression, mediation analysis, and thematic analysis of survey data collected from 100 female educators and purposively selected in-depth interview participants. The quantitative findings indicate that working hours are significantly influenced by economic, institutional, and sociocultural factors, with administrative workload emerging as the strongest determinant. Flexible work arrangements and domestic support increase women’s working hours, whereas gender norms constrain them. Working hours also mediate the relationships between several determinants and household well-being. The qualitative findings reveal that women’s labour allocation extends beyond economic rationality, as it is continuously negotiated through institutional expectations, domestic responsibilities, gender relations, moral values, and religious commitments. This study contributes to Gender Studies by demonstrating that women’s labour allocation is a gendered and socially embedded process. It also extends the Household Economics perspective by integrating Moral Economy and proposes the concept of faith-embedded labour supply to explain women’s labor-supply behavior within faith-based educational institutions.

Abstract

Women’s employment in Indonesia continues to be characterized by persistent inequalities influenced by disability, household responsibilities, socioeconomic resources, and spatial location. This study investigates women’s economic empowerment through inclusive employment by analyzing the associations between disability status, household characteristics, and socioeconomic factors and women’s employment status in Indonesia. Drawing on data from the 2021 Indonesian National Labor Force Survey (Sakernas), which includes 207,276 working-age women, the research adopts an intersectional perspective and uses multinomial logistic regression to examine these relationships. The results indicate that women with disabilities are less likely to obtain salaried employment and are more frequently found in self-employment and unpaid family work, suggesting limited access to formal and protected employment. Household headship and high household workload are associated with greater vulnerability to less secure employment, underscoring the ongoing impact of unpaid domestic responsibilities. Conversely, higher levels of education and digital technology enhance women’s access to formal, secure employment, whereas rural residence is associated with a greater likelihood of informal, agricultural-based work. The study concludes that women’s employment status is shaped by the intersection of disability status, household characteristics, socioeconomic resources, digital technology use, and place of residence. These findings contribute to the intersectionality perspective by demonstrating that employment status reflects access to decent work. The study further supports the development of gender-responsive and disability-inclusive labor policies by emphasizing the importance of improved accessibility, digital literacy, social protection, and expanded employment opportunities in rural areas.

Abstract

Studies on Islam Nusantara have predominantly focused on its historical development, religious institutions, and religious authorities, while limited attention has been given to Muslim women’s everyday religious practices in sustaining local Islamic traditions. This study examines how Muslim women’s everyday religious practices reproduce, transmit, and adapt local Islamic traditions, contributing to the continuity of Islam Nusantara in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative approach, the study uses qualitative document analysis of 18 scholarly publications selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through systematic documentation and analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s Reflexive Thematic Analysis, with the lived religion perspective serving as the primary analytical framework. The findings demonstrate that Muslim women sustain Islam Nusantara through the preservation of local Islamic rituals and traditions, community-based religious education and da‘wah, and everyday spirituality. These practices enable women to reproduce, transmit, and adapt local Islamic traditions within familial, communal, and cultural contexts. Overall, the findings indicate that the continuity of Islam Nusantara is sustained not only through formal religious institutions but also through Muslim women’s everyday religious practices embedded in family, community, and local cultural life. Theoretically, the study extends the application of lived religion within Islamic Nusantara scholarship and enriches the understanding of gendered agency by demonstrating how Muslim women actively sustain local Islamic traditions through everyday religious practices.
