Abstract

Abstract: Unregulated polygamy defined as polygamy without court approval as stipulated in Law No. 1 of 1974 in conjunction with the Compilation of Islamic Law remains a critical issue in Indonesian family law, creating tension between legal certainty and substantive justice. This study examines the Situbondo Religious Court Decision No. 596/Pdt.G/2023/PA.Sit, which issued a niet ontvankelijke verklaard ruling against a petition for marriage validation (isbat nikah) and divorce in a case of unregistered polygamy (poligami siri). While the decision upholds legal certainty, it simultaneously denies women and children access to civil rights such as maintenance during the waiting period (nafkah iddah), post-divorce compensation (mut’ah), joint property division, and recognition of children’s legal status. Using a normative juridical approach reinforced by case analysis, this article finds that legal protection in cases of unregulated polygamy remains weak and tends to disadvantage vulnerable parties. Accordingly, the article proposes three alternative solutions: strengthening polygamy regulations with stricter sanctions, establishing compensatory mechanisms for second wives and children, and harmonizing religious and state laws. Thus, the study argues that reform of Indonesian family law should not merely focus on preventing unregulated polygamy but must also ensure minimum protection for women and children to achieve a balance between legal certainty and substantive justice. Keyword: Unregistered Polygamy, Isbat Divorce Ruling, Legal Certainty, Substantive Justice   Abstrak : Poligami liar yakni praktik poligami tanpa izin pengadilan sebagaimana diatur dalam Undang-Undang No. 1 Tahun 1974 jo. Kompilasi Hukum Islam menjadi problem serius dalam hukum keluarga Indonesia karena menciptakan ketegangan antara kepastian hukum dan keadilan substantif. Studi ini menelaah Putusan Pengadilan Agama Situbondo No. 596/Pdt.G/2023/PA.Sit yang memutus amar niet ontvankelijke verklaard terhadap permohonan isbat nikah dan cerai gugat dalam kasus poligami siri. Putusan ini memang menegakkan kepastian hukum, tetapi secara bersamaan menutup akses perempuan dan anak terhadap hak-hak keperdataan seperti nafkah iddah, mut’ah, harta bersama, dan perlindungan status anak. Dengan pendekatan yuridis normatif yang diperkuat analisis kasus, studi ini menemukan bahwa perlindungan hukum dalam praktik poligami liar masih minim dan cenderung mengorbankan pihak yang rentan. Untuk itu, tulisan ini menawarkan tiga alternatif solusi: penguatan regulasi poligami dengan sanksi yang lebih tegas, mekanisme kompensasi keperdataan bagi istri kedua dan anak, serta harmonisasi antara hukum agama dan hukum negara. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa reformasi hukum keluarga Indonesia tidak cukup berhenti pada pencegahan poligami liar, melainkan harus menjamin perlindungan minimal bagi perempuan dan anak agar tercapai keseimbangan antara kepastian hukum dan keadilan substantif. Kata Kunci: Poligami Liar, Putusan Isbat Cerai, Kepastian Hukum, Keadilan Substantif.

Abstract

Abstract: The case of madliyah alimony between a former husband and wife was decided at the Mojokerto Religious Court through Decision No. 2343/Pdt.G/2015/PA.Mr dated February 22, 2017, which rejected the lawsuit because the wife (the counterclaimant) did not submit evidence. In the appeal, through Decision No. 262/Pdt.G/2017/PTA.Sby of the Surabaya High Religious Court dated June 2, 2017, the wife's lawsuit was granted because the appeal panel applied the principle of negativa non sunt probanda (negative matters do not need to be proven by the plaintiff). The emergence of Supreme Court Regulation (PERMA) No. 3 of 2017 was a response to bias and discrimination in the courts. The principle of gender equality in PERMA serves as a legal basis for judges to take a more substantively fair approach. This PERMA serves to correct unequal judicial practices and provides guidelines so that judges do not simply decide cases mechanically. The findings of this study are that the principle of negativa non sunt probanda is appropriate for application in lawsuits for past alimony because: It better aligns with the reality of the inequality of information and evidence in domestic relations. It protects women's rights from a disproportionate burden of proof. Procedural law reform is needed so that principles like this are not only used in a case-by-case manner, but become common practice in religious courts. It is important to encourage justice based on substantive justice,not just formal justice.Keywords: Principle Negativa Non Sunt Probanda, Proof, Past Livelihood, Court Ruling   Abstrak: Perkara nafkah madliyah antara mantan suami dan istri diputus di Pengadilan Agama Mojokerto melalui Putusan No. 2343/Pdt.G/2015/PA.Mr tertanggal 22 Februari 2017, yang menolak gugatan karena istri (penggugat rekonvensi) tidak mengajukan alat bukti. Dalam banding, melalui Putusan Pengadilan Tinggi Agama Surabaya No. 262/Pdt.G/2017/PTA.Sby tanggal 2 Juni 2017, gugatan istri dikabulkan karena majelis banding menerapkan asas negativa non sunt probanda (hal negatif tidak perlu dibuktikan oleh penggugat). Munculnya Peraturan Mahkamah Agung (PERMA) No. 3 Tahun 2017 sebagai respons terhadap bias dan diskriminasi di pengadilan. Asas kesetaraan gender dalam PERMA menjadi dasar hukum bagi hakim untuk mengambil pendekatan yang lebih adil secara substantif. PERMA ini berfungsi untuk mengoreksi praktik peradilan yang timpang dan memberi pedoman agar hakim tidak sekadar memutus perkara secara mekanistik. Adapun temuan dari penelitian ini Adalah Asas negativa non sunt probanda layak diterapkan dalam gugatan nafkah lampau, karena: Lebih sesuai dengan realitas ketimpangan informasi dan bukti dalam relasi rumah tangga. Melindungi hak-hak perempuan dari beban pembuktian yang tidak proporsional. Dibutuhkan pembaruan hukum acara agar asas-asas seperti ini tidak hanya digunakan secara kasuistik, tetapi menjadi praktik umum dalam peradilan agama. Penting untuk mendorong peradilan yang berkeadilan substantif, bukan hanya formal.Kata Kunci: Asas Negativa Non Sunt Probanda, Pembuktian, Nafkah Lampau, PutusanPengadilan

Abstract

Abstract: This study examines the impact of wives' dual roles as industrial workers on fulfilling family obligations, focusing on women working in shrimp factories in the coastal areas of Besuki District, Situbondo Regency. In the current social and economic context, many women not only fulfill their domestic roles as wives and housewives but also participate in the public sector to support their families' finances. This phenomenon is increasingly evident, especially in lower-middle-class areas, where husbands' incomes are considered insufficient to meet household needs. This study aims to analyze how wives' dual roles affect the fulfillment of their family obligations, including childcare, service to their husbands, and general household management. Furthermore, the study explores how wives divide their time and energy between factory work and domestic obligations, as well as the positive and negative impacts arising from this situation. The approach used in this study is descriptive qualitative, with data collection through observation, interviews, and documentation. Initial results indicate that although many wives are able to fulfill their dual roles well, many also experience physical and mental exhaustion, as well as reduced quality of family interactions. Therefore, there needs to be a shared awareness between husband and wife in sharing roles and responsibilities, as well as support from a work environment that understands the conditions of female workers.Keyword: Dual Roles of Wives, Industrial Workers, Family Obligations, Working Women   Abstrak : Penelitian ini membahas tentang dampak peran ganda istri sebagai buruh industri terhadap pemenuhan kewajiban dalam keluarga, dengan fokus pada perempuan yang bekerja di pabrik udang di wilayah pesisir Kecamatan Besuki, Kabupaten Situbondo. Dalam konteks sosial dan ekonomi saat ini, banyak perempuan yang tidak hanya menjalankan peran domestik sebagai istri dan ibu rumah tangga, tetapi juga mengambil bagian dalam sektor publik guna membantu perekonomian keluarga. Fenomena ini semakin nyata terutama di daerah dengan tingkat ekonomi menengah ke bawah, di mana pendapatan suami dianggap belum mencukupi kebutuhan rumah tangga. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana peran ganda istri memengaruhi pelaksanaan kewajibannya dalam keluarga, baik dari segi pengasuhan anak, pelayanan terhadap suami, hingga pengelolaan rumah tangga secara umum. Selain itu, penelitian juga menggali bagaimana para istri membagi waktu dan tenaga antara pekerjaan di pabrik dan kewajiban domestik, serta dampak positif maupun negatif yang muncul dari kondisi tersebut. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif deskriptif, dengan pengumpulan data melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Hasil awal menunjukkan bahwa meskipun banyak istri mampu menjalankan peran ganda dengan baik, namun tidak sedikit pula yang mengalami kelelahan fisik dan mental, serta berkurangnya kualitas interaksi dalam keluarga. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan kesadaran bersama antara suami dan istri dalam berbagi peran dan tanggung jawab, serta dukungan dari lingkungan kerja yang memahamikondisi pekerja perempuan.Kata Kunci: Peran Ganda Istri, Buruh Industri, Kewajiban Keluarga, Perempuan Pekerja

Abstract

Abstract: Marriage is a fundamental aspect of Islamic teachings aimed at forming a family that embodies Sakinah (tranquility), mawaddah (love), and rahmah (compassion). One of the key requirements to achieve this goal is the physical and psychological maturity of both prospective spouses. However, in Indonesia, particularly in Jember Regency, the rate of early marriage remains high, as evidenced by the increasing number of marriage dispensation requests submitted to the Religious Courts, including in Wuluhan District. A major contributing factor is the lack of maturity and mental readiness among young couples, which often leads to household conflicts and divorce. This study explores the role and strategies of the Modin (a village religious officer) in preventing marriage dispensation cases in Wuluhan District, Jember Regency, through the lens of maqashid al-usrah (family objectives) in Islamic jurisprudence as conceptualized by Jamaluddin Athiyah. Although modin is no longer formally included in the village governmental structure, their presence is still highly recognized by the community, especially in religious and social affairs, including marriage. In practice, modin actively engages in public education, counseling, mediation, and collaboration with village officials and community leaders to discourage early marriage. This study emphasizes that modin plays a strategic role in reducing early marriage rates by disseminating awareness about the negative consequences of underage marriage and the importance of maturity in building a household. The maqashid al-usrah framework highlights the importance of marriage in preserving lineage, ensuring financial stability, fostering religious values, and achieving overall family well-being. Therefore, optimizing the role of modin is highly relevant as a concrete effort to realize quality families and prevent the adverse impacts of child marriage. Keywords: Early Marriage, Marriage Dispensation, Modin, Maqashid al-Usrah, Wuluhan District, Jamaluddin Athiyah.   Abstrak: Pernikahan merupakan bagian penting dalam ajaran Islam yang bertujuan membentuk keluarga yang sakinah, mawaddah, wa rahmah. Salah satu syarat tercapainya tujuan tersebut adalah kedewasaan calon suami dan istri, baik secara fisik maupun psikis. Namun, di Indonesia, khususnya di Kabupaten Jember, angka pernikahan dini masih tinggi, terbukti dari banyaknya pengajuan dispensasi kawin ke Pengadilan Agama, termasuk di Kecamatan Wuluhan. Salah satu faktor pendorongnya adalah kurangnya kedewasaan dan kesiapan mental para pelaku nikah dini, yang kemudian berujung pada konflik rumah tangga dan perceraian. Penelitian ini mengkaji peran dan strategi Modin dalam mencegah terjadinya dispensasi kawin di Kecamatan Wuluhan, Kabupaten Jember, dengan pendekatan maqashid alusrah dalam maqashid syariah menurut Jamaluddin Athiyah. Modin, meskipun secara struktural tidak tercantum dalam organisasi pemerintahan desa, tetap diakui masyarakat sebagai tokoh penting dalam urusan keagamaan dan sosial, termasuk pernikahan. Dalam praktiknya, modin berperan aktif memberikan pembinaan, sosialisasi, mediasi, hingga melibatkan tokoh masyarakat demi mencegah pernikahan dini. Penelitian ini menekankan bahwa modin memiliki peran strategis dalam upaya menurunkan angka pernikahan dini dengan cara mensosialisasikan risiko-risiko negatif pernikahan usia muda dan pentingnya kedewasaan dalam pernikahan. Pendekatan maqashid al-usrah menegaskan pentingnya pernikahan sebagai sarana menjaga keturunan, nasab, keuangan keluarga, dan nilai-nilai keberagamaan. Maka dari itu, optimalisasi peran modin sangat relevan sebagai upaya nyata mewujudkan keluarga yang berkualitas dan terhindar dari berbagai dampak negatif pernikahan dini.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the legal validity of family cards (KK) for couples with unregistered marriages and to assess whether the inclusion of the note “unregistered marriage” on the family card fulfills the principle of legal protection for women. This issue arises from the implementation of Minister of Home Affairs Regulation (Permendagri) No. 108 of 2019, which allows couples with unregistered marriages to obtain a family card by signing a Statement of Absolute Responsibility (SPTJM). Although this regulation provides an administrative solution, it also creates legal uncertainty regarding marital status and women’s protection. The research uses a normative legal research method with statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The data sources consist of primary and secondary legal materials collected through library research, analyzed qualitatively through several stages—identifying legal facts, examining applicable norms, and drawing conclusions based on the principle of legal protection. The results show that the family card for couples with unregistered marriages only provides administrative recognition, granting access to public services such as education and healthcare but not altering the legal status of the marriage, as it lacks formal registration required under Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage. In terms of legal protection, the inclusion of “unregistered marriage” offers advantages by providing administrative acknowledgment of women’s and children’s status; however, it still poses legal uncertainty in proving rights to inheritance, joint property, and protection from domestic violence. Therefore, although administratively beneficial, this policy has not yet fully ensured comprehensive legal protection for women.

Abstract

This study examines the application of the reverse burden of proof in a civil case through the Decision of the Banten High Court Number 109/Pdt/2022/PT BTN. The case is noteworthy because the reverse burden of proof is generally applied in special criminal cases such as corruption or money laundering. In this case, however, the judges applied it in a tort case concerning the determination of a biological father, despite the general principle of civil evidence that “whoever asserts a claim must prove it.” This research uses a normative juridical method with conceptual, statutory, comparative, and case approaches. The analysis is based on primary and secondary legal materials to examine the normative framework and the value of substantive justice in the application of the reverse burden of proof. The results show that the judges in the Banten High Court decision adopted a more progressive approach in assessing evidence of a biological father–child relationship. From the perspective of positive law, the judges did not rigidly apply the burden of proof principle under Article 163 HIR or Article 1865 of the Indonesian Civil Code. Instead, they considered the evidentiary difficulties faced by the plaintiff and allowed the possibility of shifting the burden of proof to the defendant, consistent with the spirit of Constitutional Court Decision Number 46/PUU-VIII/2010. From the perspective of Islamic law, this reasoning is consistent with the principle of protecting lineage (ḥifẓ al-nasl) within the framework of maqāṣid al-sharīʿah. Scientific evidence such as DNA testing may be analogized to the concepts of qiyāfah and qarīnah in Islamic jurisprudence for establishing lineage. Thus, the reverse burden of proof in this case is better understood as a situational shifting of the burden of proof aimed at achieving substantive justice and protecting the rights of the child.

Abstract

This study aims to examine public perceptions of the regulation on the Statement of Absolute Responsibility (SPTJM), analyze the factors influencing its use, and review the regulation from the perspective of maslahah mursalah. The SPTJM, issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs, serves as an administrative solution for couples without an official marriage certificate. However, it is often used by young couples to fulfill administrative requirements without registering their marriage at the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA). This research employs an empirical juridical approach, combining sociological and statutory approaches. Data were collected through interviews and document analysis, then analyzed descriptively to illustrate the social phenomena and legal implications surrounding the use of SPTJM. The findings reveal that public and institutional perceptions of SPTJM vary. The Civil Registry Office (Dispenduk) views it as an administrative solution to overcome document limitations, while the KUA considers it a factor that decreases public awareness of the legal requirement to register marriages formally. The use of SPTJM is prevalent in issuing birth certificates for children from unregistered marriages, driven by the ease of procedure, high cost of marriage legalization (isbat nikah), and local cultural beliefs that unregistered (siri) marriages are religiously valid. From the perspective of maslahah mursalah, SPTJM provides short-term administrative benefits categorized as hajiyyat (secondary benefits); however, it fails to fulfill the higher objective of Islamic law, particularly in safeguarding lineage (hifdz al-nasl).

Abstract

This study aims to: (1) analyze the perspectives of Islamic family law and Indonesian positive law regarding the “marriage is scary” phenomenon, which refers to fear or hesitation toward marriage due to economic, social, social media influences, and personal or environmental experiences; and (2) examine normative solutions to address this phenomenon in the future. This research employs a normative legal method with statutory, historical, conceptual, and case approaches. The data were analyzed qualitatively through normative analysis based on library research, including the examination of legislation, Islamic family law literature, legal doctrines, and relevant legal theories. From the perspective of Islamic family law, marriage is viewed as a means to achieve tranquility (sakinah), love (mawaddah), and compassion (rahmah), grounded in faith, responsibility, and noble character. Islam encourages—and in certain circumstances obliges—marriage for individuals who are physically and mentally prepared and fear falling into sinful conduct. Meanwhile, Indonesian positive law is considered not yet fully responsive to the “marriage is scary” phenomenon, as there remain gender role imbalances and multiple interpretations within Law Number 1 of 1974 on Marriage. Normative solutions include: (1) at the dharuriyyah (primary necessity) level strengthening premarital education, economic readiness, communication skills, and information literacy; (2) at the hajiyyah (secondary necessity) level enhancing social support and scholarly engagement; and (3) at the tahsiniyyah (tertiary necessity) level cultivating gratitude, forgiveness, and personal self-improvement.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe whether homosexual orientation (gay) can be categorized as a ground for divorce, either as part of continuous disputes and quarrels or as a disease that is difficult to cure. In addition, this study aims to analyze the judge’s legal considerations in the Decision of the Religious Court of Payakumbuh Number 293/Pdt.G/2020/PA.Pyk based on positive law and Islamic law. This research is motivated by the lack of clear legal regulation regarding whether homosexuality can directly serve as a ground for divorce. The Marriage Law and the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) do not explicitly mention homosexuality as a reason for divorce, leading to debate over whether such behavior can be classified under continuous disputes and conflicts or as a form of incurable illness. The research method used is library research with statutory, conceptual, case, and comparative approaches. Data collection techniques include literature review, document study, and archival research relevant to the case analyzed. The results of the study indicate that in judicial practice, homosexuality is not explicitly stated as a ground for divorce; however, it may serve as the basis for a divorce claim if it results in marital disharmony, failure to fulfill marital (sexual) obligations, and prolonged disputes as stipulated in Article 116 of the Compilation of Islamic Law. In the decision analyzed, the judge granted the divorce petition because the husband did not appear in court and therefore could not refute the plaintiff’s claims. As a result, the evidentiary process was conducted solely by the wife, who proved that continuous disputes had occurred and that there was no hope of reconciliation. From the perspective of Islamic law, homosexuality is considered a prohibited act and may constitute a strong ground for divorce if it undermines the objectives of marriage.
