Interfaith marriage is a complex issue in Indonesia’s religious and multicultural society. In Islamic law, marriage between a Muslim—especially a Muslim woman—and a non-Muslim is strictly prohibited, as outlined in QS. Al-Baqarah verse 221 and Articles 40 and 44 of the Compilation of Islamic Law. However, Law No. 1 of 1974 does not explicitly prohibit it, as long as it is conducted according to each religion’s legal provisions. Salatiga, known as the city with the highest tolerance index in Indonesia, serves as a unique case study for this phenomenon. This research applies a qualitative case study method. The analysis is based on maqashid al-shari‘ah to examine Islamic normative dimensions and Hans Kelsen’s legal certainty theory to evaluate the national legal framework. The findings show that interfaith marriages in Salatiga are carried out through various means such as marrying abroad, temporary religious conversion, or court applications. These practices reveal the lack of legal certainty in Indonesia’s marriage law, and the ongoing tension between religious norms and individual freedoms. This article highlights the need for regulatory reform to uphold both public welfare (maslahah) and legal certainty. Keywords: interfaith marriage, Islamic law, maqashid al-shari‘ah, legal certainty, Salatiga.

This study aims to determine how to resolve nusyūz according to the Qur'an and its prevention using the sadd al-żarī'ah method. The type of research used is library research. The results of this study indicate that nusyūz can occur in both wives and husbands. The process of resolving nusyūz if done by a husband is contained in Q.S. An-Nisā' [4]: 128, namely the wife is advised to talk to her husband, be close to her husband, hold discussions and make peace with him. However, if nusyūz is done by the wife, then there are several steps that must be taken by the husband as stated in Q.S. An-Nisā' [4]: 34. First, the husband gives advice. Second, the husband separates his sleep from his wife. Third, beats the wife in a gentle and painless way. Fourth, uses a mediator from each family. The way to prevent nusyūz from happening is to love each other, respect and honor each other, maintain communication between husband and wife, understand each other between husband and wife, control the family economy, take care of biological needs, and carry out each of their rights and obligations.

This article critically examines the implementation of Islamic family law in the Kuwaiti judicial system, highlighting the impact of sectarian contestation on substantive justice in judicial practice. Kuwait adheres to a dualistic family law system that separates jurisdiction between the Sunni and Shia communities, each with its own courts and different fiqh references. Codification through the Qanun al-Ahwal al-Syakhsiyyah of 1984 became the legal basis that accommodates various schools of thought, particularly Maliki, Hanbali, Shafi'i, and Ja'fari. This study uses a normative juridical approach with jurisprudential analysis of family court decisions related to divorce and ḥaḍānah (child custody) cases. Analysis of judicial practice shows that differences in doctrinal interpretation and legal procedures between schools of thought have a direct impact on variations in court decisions and unequal treatment of litigants, especially women. In divorce cases, women face different burdens of proof and legal consequences depending on their madhhab affiliation, while in child custody cases, differences in the age limit for ḥaḍānah between the Sunni and Shia madhhabs result in inconsistent rulings in cases with comparable factual circumstances. These findings indicate that Kuwait's family law system normatively accommodates fiqh plurality, but in practice gives rise to the phenomenon of “divided justice,” where legal outcomes are determined more by madhhab affiliation than by universal principles of substantive justice. Amidst the process of family law reform and Kuwait's commitment to international instruments such as CEDAW, this study recommends strengthening standards for the protection of rights and equality across schools of thought in order to realize a more just and harmonious system of family law pluralism. Keywords: Islamic Family Law, Kuwait, Divorce, Child Custody

Underage marriage remains a prevalent phenomenon in many Muslim-majority countries, despite the ratification of international conventions on child protection. This practice is often legitimized by religious and cultural factors, gender inequality, and weak law enforcement. This article aims to conduct a comparative study of legal regulations concerning the minimum age of marriage in eight contemporary Muslim countries: Indonesia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Malaysia, Algeria, Turkey, and Iran. The study employs a normative-qualitative approach through the analysis of legal documents and public policies in each country. The findings reveal significant differences in legal approaches, ranging from conservative frameworks to more progressive reforms in family law. The article highlights the importance of harmonizing national legal systems with Islamic principles of child protection in order to reduce the practice of child marriage and to safeguard the fundamental rights of girls in the contemporary Muslim world. Keywords: child marriage, family law, minimum marriage age, Muslim countries, comparative study.

The Likka Soro’ marriage practice, which takes place among the Mandar indigenous community in West Sulawesi, is a form of customary marriage conducted without official state registration, yet it remains socially and religiously recognized. However, the existence of children born from such unions raises serious legal issues, particularly concerning lineage status, inheritance rights, and legal identity. This study aims to analyze the legal implications for children born from Likka Soro’ marriages and to examine the practice through the lens of maqashid syariah, particularly the principles of hifz al-nasl (protection of lineage) and hifz al-nafs (protection of life). The research employs a descriptive qualitative method, using a normative-theological approach and field study. The findings indicate that although Likka Soro’ is culturally accepted, the absence of formal registration results in a lack of legal protection for the children involved. From the perspective of maqashid syariah, such a practice contradicts the core objectives of Islamic law if it causes harm to children. Therefore, marriage registration should be promoted as a means of protecting children's rights within the framework of social justice, national law, and maqashid syariah. Keywords: Likka Soro’, Child Status, maqashid syariah.

This study examines the integration of the restorative approach within Islamic family law in Indonesia as an effort to strengthen the protection of the rights of wives and children after divorce. This research employs a qualitative normative method with a descriptive-analytical approach by examining the principles of classical Islamic law, Islamic family law in Indonesia, and the restorative concept as an alternative approach to resolving family conflicts. The findings indicate that restorative values are aligned with the principles of justice, balance, and public welfare (maṣlaḥah) in classical Islamic law and have been partially accommodated in the practice of Islamic family law in Indonesia through the role of the Religious Courts and the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), although significant implementation challenges remain. This study implies the importance of strengthening collaboration among judges, Islamic scholars, and family counselors, as well as optimizing mediation based on Sharia values, to achieve divorce resolution processes that are more just, harmonious, and oriented toward the best interests of the child. Keywords: Restorative Approach, Protection of Wives’ and Children’s Rights, Post-Divorce, Islamic Family Law

This study examines the application of the concept of maslahah mursalah in determining lineage and determining marriage guardians for children born out of wedlock by officials at the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA). This focus is emphasized from the outset to observe how considerations of maslahah are used in Islamic legal practice when cases arise that are not explicitly explained in the texts. The study uses a qualitative, descriptive-empirical approach through observation, interviews, and documentation, and is strengthened by a review of Islamic legal regulations and literature, Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage, and the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI). The results show that KUA officials prioritize a careful, dialogical, and maslahah-oriented approach in determining lineage status and determining marriage guardians. These considerations are directed at balancing Islamic legal norms with the practical needs of the community, so that decisions are made in line with positive regulations as well as the values of maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah. The use of maslahah mursalah serves as a basis for ensuring that decisions are beneficial and avoid harm, without the need for lengthy theoretical explanations. This finding shows that the concept of maslahah mursalah remains relevant and applicable in contemporary Islamic legal practice, especially in the KUA environment which deals directly with the social dynamics of society. Keywords: Maslahah Mursalah, KUA, Marriage Guardian, Children Out of Wedlock

This study investigates the application of traditional cultural values embedded in the walasuji symbol within the wedding ceremonies of the Bugis ethnic group, particularly in the Parepare City area. Originally referring to a diamond-shaped protective fence, walasuji has evolved in meaning to become a fruit basket presented as part of the ritual. This tradition is replete with symbols that express noble principles such as loyalty, harmony, responsibility, respect for customary norms, and dedication in establishing a family. However, the philosophical essence of walasuji is increasingly overlooked and viewed merely as a routine procedure in wedding events. This research employs a qualitative sociological approach, utilizing techniques of direct observation, in-depth interviews, and documentary data collection. The findings reveal that the implementation of walasuji values not only strengthens the bond between spouses but also plays a crucial role in preserving local wisdom and Bugis cultural identity. Therefore, it is essential to enhance understanding of the walasuji symbol so that future generations can inherit the noble principles contained within it. Keywords: Walasuji, Traditional Values, Marriage

The high divorce rate in Indonesia, particularly due to emotional conflicts and economic pressures, highlights the urgency of examining key factors of family resilience. One of these is hirfah (profession), which plays a strategic role within the concept of kafaah in shaping the ideal family. This study aims to analyze the role of hirfah as an indicator of kafaah in modern social contexts and its relevance for building families characterized by sakinah, mawaddah, and rahmah according to Islamic Family Law. The method employed is library research with descriptive-analytical analysis of classical and contemporary fiqh literature, complemented by relevant academic studies. The findings reveal that a lawful, proper, and stable profession is not only crucial for economic stability but also serves as a symbol of responsibility, social dignity, and psychological readiness for marriage. Thus, hirfah as part of kafaah plays a significant role in fostering a resilient and harmonious family and remains relevant as a reference in premarital counseling and contemporary Islamic family policies.

The childfree phenomenon has become an important issue in the study of Islamic family law in Indonesia because it creates tension between the interpretation of maqashid al-shariah, particularly the principle of hifz al-nasl, and the individual's freedom to choose not to have children. This study aims to analyze the position of Islamic family law on childfree, identify the legal and social challenges faced by childfree families, and formulate a modern Islamic legal approach that is responsive to this phenomenon. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a normative approach through literature study and content analysis. The results show that modern Islamic law provides space for childfree individuals on the condition that there are sharia reasons such as health conditions, family interests, and socio-economic factors that affect quality of life. In addition, laws and human rights support reproductive freedom as long as it is in accordance with religious norms and does not harm others. In conclusion, contemporary Islamic family law can adapt to modern social realities without neglecting religious principles and social responsibilities. This adaptation opens up space for respect for individual freedom in choosing a lifestyle, including childfree, as long as the decision is made with careful consideration and takes into account the broader interests of the community.
