Abstract

Women defendants in Indonesia frequently experience double victimization, functioning simultaneously as offenders and as victims of domestic violence, sexual exploitation, and economic pressure rooted in asymmetrical gender power relations. This study examines how living law, interpreted through constitutional values and feminist legal reasoning, can be operationalized to enable gender-responsive sentencing for women defendants in Indonesia. Using a normative-juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and doctrinal-analytical approaches, the study analyzes legal materials through grammatical, teleological, and systematic interpretation. The findings reveal three main points. First, Article 2 extends the principle of legality into a material dimension through a constitutional filter that ensures gender responsiveness and rejects discriminatory customary legal practices. Second, Article 54 provides space for gender-responsive sentencing by allowing consideration of women’s victimization and structural conditions. Third, the study develops a Gender-Responsive Living Law Model that integrates living law and feminist legal reasoning into a structured, measurable, and accountable judicial process. The study concludes that Articles 2 and 54 of the National Criminal Code provide a normative framework for gender-responsive sentencing through a constitutional filter against discriminatory practices. However, its effectiveness depends on the application of a structured and integrative model to ensure that judicial discretion remains measurable and accountable. This study contributes to gender and socio-legal studies by integrating living law and feminist legal reasoning into an operational framework for criminal adjudication in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines the interpretation of QS. An-Nisā’ [4]:34, particularly the concept of qiwāmah, and its implications for gender relations in Muslim societies. It seeks to address the tension between classical hierarchical interpretations and contemporary reformist interpretations oriented toward gender justice. Using a qualitative approach, this study integrates comparative exegetical analysis, Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd’s critical hermeneutics, and Jasser Auda’s framework of maqāṣid al-sharīʿah. The analysis focuses on Tafsīr Ibn Kathir and Tafsīr al-Manār as representations of classical and reformist exegetical paradigms. The findings reveal a significant transformation in the interpretation of qiwāmah, from male authority and hierarchical leadership toward ethical responsibility and relational accountability. Similar shifts are also found in the reinterpretation of nushūz and ḍaraba, reflecting a stronger emphasis on justice, human dignity, and the prevention of harm. The hermeneutical analysis shows that both interpretations are shaped by their respective socio-historical contexts, while the maqāṣid-based evaluation indicates that neither paradigm fully satisfies the demands of contemporary gender justice. Based on these findings, this study reconstructs qiwāmah as an ethical-relational responsibility grounded in justice, human dignity, mutual accountability, and non-violence. The originality of this study lies in integrating comparative exegetical analysis, critical hermeneutics, and maqāṣid-based evaluation into a unified framework for reinterpreting qiwāmah and advancing gender justice in contemporary Islamic thought.

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.
