Abstract

One of the most significant ways to create a happy family and minimize divorce is premarital education. Indonesia and Malaysia are two countries that have realized it and have regulated it in the regulations of their respective countries. This paper focuses on studying the concept and regulation of premarital education in these two countries. This paper uses a normative juridical approach using library research and comparative law. This study found that premarital education aims to create household happiness to avoid divorce. Indonesia regulates it in the Decree of the Director-General of Islamic Religion by implementing the Office of Religious Affairs or institutions recognized by the Ministry of Religion. Meanwhile, in Malaysia, it differed according to state regulations, such as enactment 11 of 2003 amendment of the Islamic Family Law (Negeri Sembilan) 2003 Part II of Marriage Section 16 concerning Applications for Marriage Truth and carried out by the Malaysian Islamic Progress Office. Premarital education, although both aim to create a family and minimize divorce, in Indonesia, it only provides guidelines, while in Malaysia, it is a mandatory requirement for prospective brides to get married.

Abstract

Hareuta peunulang is a grant of immovable property from parents to their daughters before marriage in Pidie Regency, Aceh Province. Disputes are resolved through customary court, but the settlement that should have been settled at the mukim level was brought to the Mahkamah Shar'iyyah. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the causes of the hareuta peunulang practice disputes and find an effective and efficient model for resolving them through customary courts. Empirical juridical methods were used with data collected data through observation and interviews and analyzed using a qualitative descriptive approach. The results showed that disputes are caused by the lack of deliberation in the hareuta peunulang process. The social plurality of laws makes the dispute resolution model through customary courts ineffective and inefficient. Therefore, the role of the village head (keuchick) and head of mukim (imuem mukim) is needed to educate the community regarding customary justice procedures that should to conducted at the village (gampong) and mukim levels.

Abstract

Islamic banks are the fastest growing Islamic financial institutions in Indonesia. In fact, Islamic Banks already have special regulations, namely Law Number 21 of 2008. This article aimed to analyze how important the Sharia Banking Law is in maintaining the plurality and sacredness of Islamic law in every sharia banking operational activity. The method used in this article is qualitative with a normative approach. This article found that Sharia Banking Law supports the sacredness of Islamic law, namely to realize the benefit. The existence of the Sharia Banking Law indirectly shows its capacity as a legal product that provides a plurality space so that the law can be enjoyed by all humans and all religions based on community beliefs. In addition, the existence of the Sharia Banking Law can also be a reference for other Islamic law products to provide a plurality value space behind the sacredness of Islamic law in Indonesia.

Abstract

Sharī’ah is aimed for the goodness of mankind. By extrapolating the evidence from Qur'an and Sunnah. Islamic sharī’ah is believed to be the rules and objectives for the general interest of society and individuals. This paper focuses on the study of the concept of the nature of human rights in the view of Ibn ‘Āshūr in terms of the maqāṣid al-sharī’ah al-āmmah theory. The study is a kind of library research where the researcher collected the library data by reading books or magazines and other sources to collect data from various literatures. He used a qualitative approach by revealing the meaning of information or empirical data obtained from books, scientific or official research reports and from other literatures. This study, finally, found two results. First, there were found all characteristics of the law, the general purpose, and the meaning of sharī’ah as a whole. Second, it was found the meaning of law combined with four epistemological frameworks, namely: al-fiṭrah (religious instinct), al-samāḥah (tolerance), al-musāwah (egalitarian), and al-ḥurriyah (freedom of action). In the legality of al-maqāṣid law, this research contributes to the human rights of Ibn ‘Āshūr’s ijtihād which becomes the principle of humanity.

Abstract

The system of inheritance distribution in Islamic law, normatively, between men and women is 2:1. Meanwhile, the traditional inheritance system of the Cipicung Girang community, Cidadap District, Bandung City, where the majority of the population is Muslim, has divided men and women equally, namely 1:1. Another uniqueness of the system is that the house they live in belongs to the child who is the last to take care of his parents. The problem is, the customary inheritance system is used by the majority Muslim population. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence public awareness in the distribution of inheritance. This study uses a mix-method with interactive analysis techniques and assisted by Smart PLS software to test the relationship between variables. This study found that inheritance follows the local traditional system because girls take care of their parents, while men are busy working. Another finding is that literacy factors have a greater influence on people's awareness and loyalty compared to religiosity and perceptions of inheritance.

Abstract

The dispute between Islamic law and positive law is continuously ongoing regarding the practice of illegal divorce. This practice is valid in Islamic law as long as the conditions and pillars are fulfilled. However, in Islamic law, it is considered a violation of marriage norms. The urgency of this study lies in the discourse of ithbāt ṭalāq to bridge the rise of illegal divorce in society. Through a literature review with a juridical approach to finding a legal basis for a case in concreto, this article shows that ithbāt ṭalāq functions as an instrument that can solve disputes between Islamic law and positive law. Through this instrument, husbands who force divorce out of court can be considered criminal actors who must be given sanctions in the form of ta'zīr (fine).

Abstract

The practice of Islamic inheritance law in Muslim communities in Indonesia experiences many obstacles. One of the reasons is that there is still a tradition of distribution of assets when parents are still alive and the prevailing kinship system. It was found in transferring property to the coastal santri community in Pekalongan City. This paper reveals the method of dividing the prospective inheritance of the coastal santri community and the mechanism for resolving disputes in the event of a dispute. This article uses a qualitative socio-legal studies approach and is descriptive and analytic. This article finds two things. First, the model for distributing the assets of the coastal santri community in Pekalongan City is carried out using grants orally and deliberation for consensus. Prospective inheritance is divided by the grant system equally, without distinguishing between men and women. The dispute resolution mechanism is carried out in negotiation and mediation.

Abstract

This study seeks to reveal that sirri marriages, which are usually secret, in the Banjar community are carried out openly and are carried out by walimah 'ursy (wedding ceremonies). In contrast to other studies, most of them only discuss the law of unregistered marriage and its legality in Indonesia. This study tends to pay more attention to aspects of habits and shifts in the meaning of the sirri marriage. The method used in this study is empirical with an ethnographic-phenomenological approach to the celebration of sirri marriages in the Banjar community, South Kalimantan. The results of this study prove that the legality of sirri marriages is illegal in Indonesia State because it is not recorded at the Office of Religious Affairs. However, aspects of the habit of unregistered marriages and holding wedding celebrations in the Banjar community,  make sirri marriages "as if" they have legal rights in society based on social norms.

Abstract

Islamic Law and Indonesian Criminal Law place compensation as an essential part of criminal liability. The fundamental difference is that compensation is primary in Islamic law, while positive law is an alternative. This paper examines and compares the application of the theory of diat and compensation in the crime of culpable homicide. The writing is framed with a normative-empirical approach, with data sources from books and court decisions. The results of the study show three things: First, diat and peace are different conceptions. Diat refers to property given in exchange for a slain soul, while peace is given as a compensation fee and as an effort to forgive. Second, the amount of compensation in the diat is regulated in detail with a certain nominal. At the same time, positive law is an agreement considering the perpetrator's ability. Third, compensation in the diat is an inspiration for developing legal theories such as restitutive justice, which emphasizes the importance of forgiveness and reconciliation between two parties. Research suggestions so that the diat theory can be developed into modern law so that it can be an inspiration for lawmakers so that in its application, the diat theory can be a reason for the abolition of crimes, not limited to leniency.

Abstract

Aceh Qanun No. 6 of 2014 concerning the Jinayat Law can potentially eliminate justice for women and children. Through a literature study using a descriptive-analytical method, this article aims to interpret the substance of the Qanun Jinayat. The results show that the Qanun Jinayat has not taken sides with women and children. The first evidence, the preliminary evidence requirement for rape victims in the Qanun Jinayat, provides an opportunity to harm women. Victims may be unable to show evidence due to their psychological pressure. The second piece of evidence, the existence of legal dualism, between Article 81 and Article 82 of the Child Protection Law and Article 47 of the Qanun Jinayat, provides opportunities for violence to children. Qanun Jinayat provides lighter sentences to perpetrators. This article finds that the Qanun Jinayat was formulated and ratified with minimal involvement of many parties and absorption of community aspirations. The article recommends that the formulation of the Qanun Jinayat should be revised with consideration of the public benefit by involving modernist academics with a comprehensive religious education background.
