Abstract

Women involved in unregistered polygamous marriages experience compounded vulnerability, as they not only bear the social and psychological burdens of polygamy but also lose access to legal protection due to the prohibition of polygamy isbat under Supreme Court Circular Letter (SEMA) No. 3 of 2018. This restriction results in the systematic neglect of their rights as wives and citizens, including difficulties in obtaining civil registration documents, maintenance and inheritance rights, social recognition, and equitable marital relations. This study employs a normative juridical approach with descriptive analysis, utilizing statutory review and a comparative examination of legal scholars’ arguments both supporting and opposing polygamy isbat for unregistered marriages. The findings reveal a clear division among legal experts: one group advocates permitting polygamy isbat to ensure justice and legal protection for women, while the other rejects it on grounds of legal order, adherence to SEMA, and legal certainty. Based on this analysis, the study proposes two alternative solutions: first, fully opening access to polygamy isbat to promote women’s welfare; and second, adopting a selective judicial approach by granting petitions that provide substantive benefit while issuing niet ontvankelijke verklaard decisions for non-substantive cases. This study underscores the urgent need to balance substantive justice for women with the principle of legal certainty within the Indonesian family law system.

Abstract

This study focuses on analyzing the enforcement of criminal law in cases of sexual intercourse with children in Indonesia, with particular attention to the balance between legal certainty and victim-oriented justice. The research aims to examine the extent to which criminal justice practices have accommodated the interests of child victims, to identify the limitations of a retributive approach, and to propose an alternative conceptual framework based on the theory of Dignified Justice.This research employs a normative legal research method using statutory, conceptual, and theoretical approaches, complemented by secondary empirical analysis of Decision of the Kuningan District Court Number 5/PID.SUS/2024/PN.KNG. Data were collected through a literature review of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials, including legislation, court decisions, reputable international journals, and relevant academic literature. Data validity was ensured through source triangulation and theoretical triangulation to maintain consistency, reliability, and analytical accuracy. The findings indicate that sentencing in this case reflects normative firmness and proportionality in accordance with positive law. However, the criminal justice process remains dominated by an offender-oriented approach and has not explicitly incorporated victim recovery mechanisms, such as restitution and psychological rehabilitation. As a result, the justice delivered tends to be merely symbolic from the victim’s perspective. This study also identifies that sexual crimes against children are influenced by a combination of internal offender-related factors and structural external factors. From the perspective of Dignified Justice, this research emphasizes the urgency of reformulating child criminal law to integrate offender punishment, victim recovery, and structural prevention as unified objectives of criminal justice.

Abstract

Fadia Faqir's novel Ismi Salma presents a complex narrative about the experience of Arab women who live in exile and identity disconnection in the midst of cultural clashes between Hart and West. Through the character of Salma, Faqir depicts women's struggles in dealing with trauma, patriarchy, and weistence in a foreign land that does not fully accept ber existence. Although this novel har been widely studied from the perspective of diaspora, identity, and trauma, Blaine Showalter's gynocritical approach has never been applied to analyze it. This study was conducted to examine the representation of Arab women's experiences in Ismi Salma's novel and explore the influence of Fadia Fagir's background as a female writer in the construction of female characters and narratives in it. The method used is descriptive qualitative analysis with a gynocritical approach that includes four main models: biology, language, psychology, and female culture. The results show that Fadia Faqir consciously write from a female perspective, rairing bodily experiences, prychological trauma, social alienation, and resistance to patriarchal culture. The character of Salma comet ar a female witness who represents the voice of Arab diasporic women who are marginalized but still trying to redefine bome, identity, and freedom. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of the gynocritical approach in revealing women's narratives from the perspective of women themselves, as well as enriching the study of feminizm in Arab diasporic literary works.

Abstract

The hijab carries multiple meanings, representing spirituality, societal expectations, and political identity. However, Sayyid Muhammad Alawi al-Maliki regards the hijab as a normative obligation that reflects moral and spiritual values, capable of shaping a women-friendly social order. This study aims to present a new perspective on the obligation of hijab by examining the interpretation of Sayyid Muhammad Alawi al-Maliki, with particular attention to the construction of his arguments grounded in Islamic moral and spiritual values. This study adopts a qualitative approach utilizing a library-based research method, in which data are systematically analyzed through content analysis. The primary source of data is Al-Maliki’s work titled Adabul Islam fi Nizamil Usrah, while secondary sources include books, works of classical and contemporary scholars, and journal articles related to the research theme. Findings indicate that al-Maliki understands hijab not merely as a religious obligation, but as part of a social transformation process that strengthens the status and dignity of women within Islamic society. The hijab serves not to isolate women, but to foster environments in which their contributions may flourish without the encumbrance of sexual objectification or social marginalization. His ideas serve as a critical response to Western views that problematize the hijab, by promoting a historical-theological approach rooted in authentic hadiths. This study offers a fresh perspective by examining the hijab discourse through spiritual and social dimensions, as interpreted in Al-Maliki’s thought.

Abstract

This paper examines the dominance of gender relations in the theory of Qira’ah Mubadalah, introduced by Faqihuddin Abdul Kodir as a hermeneutical method for interpreting religious texts based on the principle of reciprocity. In essence, Qira’ah Mubadalah is a universal approach, derived from Qur’anic verses that emphasize justice, equality, and partnership in social relations. However, in its practical application, the theory has been primarily focused on gender issues, particularly the relationship between men and women in both domestic and public spheres. This orientation is inseparable from the patriarchal culture and gendered nature of the Arabic language, as well as from Faqihuddin’s feminist perspective as its initiator. Employing a literature study, this research explores the ideas, principles, and application of Qira’ah Mubadalah and situates it within the framework of contemporary Qur’anic hermeneutics and feminist exegesis. The study finds that while Qira’ah Mubadalah significantly contributes to promoting more gender-just interpretations, its dominance in gender-related discourse makes it appear partial. Therefore, Qira’ah Mubadalah should be extended to a broader range of social relations in order to fully embody the Qur’an’s universal spirit.

Abstract

Gender dysphoria, as a condition of discomfort resulting from a mismatch between gender identity and biological sex, is analyzed as a complex biopsychosocial problem. Gender identity disorder is a psychological condition that is distinct from sexual orientation, but there is also a relationship. Although society generally interprets this disorder as only being experienced by   transgender people,  the fact is that people who are not transgender can also suffer from this disorder. This study uses a qualitative-analytical method through literature review and thematic analysis of the collected textual data. The result is a prohibition against physical changes made by individuals with gender dysphoria or otherwise, based on efforts to preserve the authenticity of creation (fitrah) and prevent harm. Exceptions are only made for intersex conditions that require biological clarification. As an alternative, the recommended treatment is through a psychological-spiritual approach. Given that gender dysphoria is closely related to psychological disorders resulting from such discomfort, psychotherapy such as cognitive behavioral therapy, individual, family, and group therapy is considered more in line with human nature. This approach aims to help individuals manage dysphoria, strengthen self-acceptance, and align their psychological condition with the nature of creation, rather than making physical changes that are prohibited.

Abstract

This study analyzes the harmonization of the implementation of restorative justice in Indonesia through a comparative normative empirical approach involving five countries, namely New Zealand, Australia, Canada, South Africa, and Indonesia. The type of research used is normative-empirical legal research with legislative, conceptual, comparative law, and sociological legal approaches. Normative analysis of restorative justice regulations is combined with empirical data to assess legal consistency, institutional capacity, and integration of socio-cultural values in practice. Data collection was carried out through document studies of laws and regulations, institutional policies, and scientific literature, as well as in-depth interviews with law enforcement officials, restorative justice facilitators, and community leaders. The validity of the data is maintained through triangulation of sources and methods. Data analysis was carried out qualitatively using content analysis, comparative analysis between countries, and the Miles and Huberman interactive analysis model which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results show that New Zealand has the highest level of effectiveness through a comprehensively integrated legislative framework, while Indonesia still faces sectoral regulatory fragmentation with limited implementation beyond children's cases. Comparisons show Indonesia scores lowest in system integration and institutional support, despite having strong potential in community-based mediation practices and customary values. The main challenges include weak legal harmonization and limitations in monitoring and evaluation systems. This study contributes to the development of a contextual and sustainable model of restorative justice implementation in a pluralistic legal system.

Abstract

Garut Regency faces serious problems related to the high rate of sexual violence against adolescents which indicates the need for comprehensive reproductive health treatment. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of cross-sector collaboration in improving adolescent reproductive health through the synergy of the Garut Branch of the Indonesian Women's Coalition with the Garut Regency Family Planning Population Control Office. The research method uses a qualitative approach with a triangulation method which is assisted in analyzing using Nvivo software. This research identifies five dimensions of collaboration, namely cooperation, flexibility, responsibility, compromise, and communication. The results of the study show that collaboration is effective through the implementation of educational programs in the form of socialization, victim assistance, and sexual violence prevention campaigns. However, there are still obstacles such as social stigma in society, limited resources, and less interactive methods of delivering material. This study recommends the need for a more adolescent-friendly approach with the strengthening of interactive discussions and continuous evaluation to maximize the long-term impact on improving adolescent health in Garut Regency.

Abstract

This research analyzes the dynamics of gender harmony and household integrity in migrant worker families in Ponorogo through a qualitative case study approach. The feminization of international migration creates complex gender role restructuring that involves negotiation between Javanese cultural values, Islamic religiosity norms, and the practical demands of transnational life. The findings reveal heterogeneity in family adaptive responses, where the redistribution of domestic roles ranges from progressive transformation to the perpetuation of patriarchy, influenced by individual gender literacy, social stigma, and the quality of digital communication. Although women*'s** economic contributions increase their bargaining power, conservative gender ideology perpetuates the double burden and relational inequality. Family resilience is determined by the convergence of extended family support, remittance management strategies, legal literacy, and religiosity as a coping mechanism. The research identifies gaps in legal protection, risks of family disintegration due to boundary ambiguity, and the transformation of younger generation aspirations. The theoretical implications enrich the transnational family sociology discourse with local cultural perspectives, while practical recommendations include developing a holistic protection framework that integrates gender-sensitive pre-departure counseling, the strengthening of community networks, and sustainable empowerment programs.
