Abstract

This study examines the judicial reasoning model in granting marriage dispensation at the Takengon Syar'iyah Court through a critical analysis of Decision Number 185/Pdt.P/2024/MS.Tkn. Using a socio-legal approach with legal pluralism and maqashid al-syariah frameworks, this research reveals that judges employ a three-stage hierarchical reasoning pattern: formal-procedural, social fact verification, and Islamic law substantive justification. The findings indicate that positive law (Law No. 16/2019 and PERMA No. 5/2019) functions as an initial barrier and procedural legitimizer, while Islamic law, particularly the fiqh maxim dar'u al-mafasid muqaddamun 'ala jalb al-mashalih (preventing harm takes precedence over bringing benefit), serves as a substantive problem-solver. Local socio-cultural realities, especially unplanned pregnancy and family honor concerns, act as triggering factors that are subsequently framed as "legal emergencies." This research identifies a critical paradox: the court's comprehensive advice on the risks of child marriage (educational disruption, mental health issues, and potential domestic violence) is ultimately overridden by the immediate need to resolve social crises. The study concludes that this practice represents "reactive legal pluralism" that effectively addresses immediate social conflicts but fails to provide proactive, long-term child protection, thereby reducing the "best interests of the child" principle to mere procedural formality rather than substantive consideration.

Abstract

This study examines of the beterang tradition for girls in strengthening family resilience among the Serawai ethnic community through the perspective of maslahah mursalah. The study used a qualitative approach combining legal-sociological and normative methods. Data were gathered by observing, conducting detailed interviews, and reviewing documents from traditional leaders, religious people, parents, and young women. The findings indicate that the beterang tradition serves as a medium for internalizing religious, moral, and social values, contributing significantly to the psychological and spiritual readiness of young women for family life. It also plays a strategic role in preventing family conflicts, strengthening social relations, and fostering ethical awareness. From the perspective of maslahah mursalah, this tradition fulfills the principles of maqashid al-shari‘ah, particularly in safeguarding religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property, thus remaining relevant as a contextual model of family education based on Islamic values and local wisdom.

Abstract

The regulation of the distribution of marital property in Indonesia has not yet incorporated a child-protection perspective. In fact, divorce has direct consequences for children, particularly in situations where the marital property consists of only a single asset, namely the family home. If such property is divided equally between the husband and the wife, it may result in adverse effects on the best interests of the child. This study aims to analyze the urgency of reformulating the regulation of marital property distribution in a manner oriented toward child protection and the best interests of the child as reflected in Supreme Court Circular Letter (SEMA) Number 1 of 2022. This research employs a normative legal research method. The legal materials used consist of the Marriage Law and the Compilation of Islamic Law. Data collection was carried out through a literature review of library materials. The data were analyzed descriptively and prescriptively. The findings indicate that reformulating the regulation on postponing the distribution of marital property in the form of legislation is essential to address the existing legal vacuum in Indonesia. Although the Supreme Court has issued an internal policy in the form of a SEMA, its effectiveness is weak because it functions merely as an internal directive that is not legally binding on judges. A provision acquires binding force only when it is regulated in statutory legislation. The SEMA has attempted to realize the best interests of the child by providing for the postponement of the distribution of marital property when the property acquired during the marriage consists solely of a house that serves as the family residence. Dividing the house equally between the husband and the wife may generate negative consequences for the child, as the child could lose their place of residence.

Abstract

Cryptocurrency has become a significant innovation in the digital financial system, sparking various perspectives on its compatibility with sharia. This study aims to analyze the legality of cryptocurrency from a sharia perspective, including its transaction mechanisms and investment implications. The primary focus is on examining the elements of gharar (uncertainty) and maysir (gambling), which could potentially render it impermissible under sharia. The research employs a normative analysis approach to explore contemporary scholars' views and their relevance to maqasid sharia, which emphasize the protection of wealth and societal welfare. The findings indicate that, despite cryptocurrency's benefits, such as transaction efficiency and accessibility, its high speculative risks and value uncertainty pose major obstacles to its acceptance under sharia. Therefore, clear and comprehensive regulations are needed to accommodate cryptocurrency use in sharia-compliant financial institutions without violating Islamic principles. This study provides a significant contribution to clarifying the position of cryptocurrency within the Islamic financial system and encourages the development of sharia-based regulations for digital transactions.

Abstract

This study examines the authority of the Aceh Government in the mineral and coal mining sector from the perspective of two main legal instruments: the Mineral and Coal Mining Law (UU Minerba) and the Aceh Governance Law (UUPA). The method used is normative juridical research with a legislative, conceptual, and comparative approach. First, the authority of the Aceh Government in the mineral and coal mining sector has been normatively recognized through Article 173A of the Minerba Law, which emphasizes that the provisions of the law apply to Aceh Province as long as they are not specifically regulated in laws governing regional specialties. This provision positions the UUPA as a lex specialis that should be the primary reference in mining management in Aceh, so that this authority cannot simply be transferred to the Central Government. Second, although the UUPA is normatively recognized as a special regulation, the implementation of the UUPA in practice has the potential to override the authority of the Aceh Government. There is a legal tension between the UU Minerba as a national regulation and the UUPA as a special law that has not been explicitly resolved. This condition creates legal uncertainty that is detrimental to Aceh, because the Central Government tends to interpret mining authority in a centralistic manner. Third, the management of mineral and coal mining in Aceh should be built on two main foundations: the Helsinki MoU of August 15, 2005, and the principles of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI). The Helsinki MoU serves as the political and legal basis for Aceh to manage its natural resources independently and with dignity. Therefore, mining management in Aceh should ideally adhere to the spirit of asymmetric decentralization mandated in the Helsinki MoU, while upholding the sovereignty of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. This article recommends that mining authority be clarified in the Basic UUPA Law, that the Mining Law be directed toward strengthening Aceh's autonomy, and that the Aceh Government consistently adhere to the spirit of the Helsinki MoU as the basis for equitable natural resource management.

Abstract

Child marriage dispensation remains a crucial issue in Indonesian Islamic family law because it places judges between the legal restriction of minimum marriage age and the social realities faced by families. This article examines urgent reasons and the best interests of the child in marriage dispensation determinations at the Indramayu Religious Court. The study aims to identify the typology of urgent reasons constructed in judicial considerations and to assess the consistency of those considerations with Supreme Court Regulation Number 5 of 2019. This research uses a normative-empirical legal method with statutory, case, and content analysis approaches. The primary data consist of marriage dispensation determinations from the Indramayu Religious Court, supported by relevant regulations, literature, previous studies, and statistical data on dispensation cases. The findings show that urgent reasons are constructed through several patterns: pregnancy, intimate relationships between prospective spouses, fear of zinā and social shame, family approval, and economic readiness of the prospective husband. The study also finds that the implementation of Supreme Court Regulation Number 5 of 2019 is relatively consistent at the formal-procedural level, but still requires substantive strengthening, particularly regarding meaningful child participation, freedom from coercion, education, health, and alternatives to marriage. This article contributes to Islamic family law studies by emphasizing that urgent reasons must be controlled by the principle of the best interests of the child.

Abstract

The tradition of engagement in Acehnese society is not only understood as a process leading to marriage but also carries social and customary legal consequences for the parties involved. A common practice in some Acehnese communities is the giving of gold during the engagement period, which is then associated with the obligation to return or compensate if the engagement is canceled. This study aims to analyze the practice of returning gold in the cancellation of engagements from the perspective of 'urf in Islamic law. The research uses a qualitative approach with a juridical-sociological method. Data were obtained through literature studies and analysis of the social practices of the Acehnese community related to engagement traditions. The results show that the practice of returning gold is seen as a form of strengthening commitment and protecting the dignity of the family. However, in practice, the application of different sanctions between men and women creates social inequality and has the potential to conflict with the principle of justice in Islamic law. From the perspective of ‘urf, this tradition can be accepted as long as it does not cause harm and does not contradict the principles of sharia. However, if the return of gold is made a burden that weighs heavily on one party, then the practice is closer to the category of ‘urf fasid. Therefore, a reconstruction of customary understanding that is more oriented towards public benefit, justice, and sharia values is required.

Abstract

Artikel ini mengeksplorasi secara kritis tentang transformasi kebijakan izin poligami oleh hakim pengadilan Indonesia dengan fokus pada perlindungan perempuan melalui prinsip maqāṣid syarī‘ah. Studi ini berangkat dari tiga persoalan utama, yaitu terkait argumentasi ulama kontemporer tentang izin poligami oleh pengadilan, relevansi dengan perlindungan perempuan, dan dinamika penguatan regulasi izin poligami dalam perspektif maqāṣidī, dan implikasinya terhadap perlindungan perempuan. Artikel ini menggunakan dua pendekatan, yaitu pendekatan konseptual dan pendekatan perundang-undangan, dengan jenis yuridisnormatif. Data diperoleh dari bahan hukum primer, sekunder dan tersier, dianalisis secara deskriptif-preskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pandangan ulama kontemporer menegaskan pentingnya legitimasi izin pengadilan sebagai syarat administratif, dijadikan sebagai instrumen kontrol ketat poligami. Syarat ini menghadirkan kepastian hukum dalam perlindungan perempuan dalam rumah tangga. Kebijakan izin poligami oleh pengadilan di Indonesia sejalan dengan tujuan maqāṣid syarī‘ah, berbasis pemeliharaan ajaran agama  Islam (ḥifẓ al-dīn), harta benda bagi pasangan poligami (ḥifẓ al-māl), keturunan pasangan poligami (ḥifẓ nasl), serta kehormatan perempuan (ḥifẓ ‘irḍ). Poligami tetap diakui sebagaisyarat yang bersifat qaḍā’ī dalam upaya pembatasan (taqyīd) untuk memberikan kepastian dan keadilan hukum, dan kemaslahatan. Jadi kebijakan izin poligami selain sebagai syarat formal-administratif, juga sebagai mekanisme substantif untuk memastikan perlindungan perempuan—berupa, namun tidak terbatas pada nafkah dalam perkawinan, nafkah pasca cerai, harta bersama, warisan dan hak asuh anak, dan lainnya.

Abstract

The change in the regulation of the crime of adultery from Article 284 of the old Criminal Code to Article 411 of the new Criminal Code raises questions about the basis for the renewal and effectiveness of the regulation of sanctions in the perspective of Islamic criminal law. This study aims to determine the regulation of the elements and sanctions of the crime of adultery in Article 284 of the old Criminal Code and Article 411 of the new Criminal Code, to analyze the views of Islamic Criminal Law on the regulation of sanctions of adultery in article 284 of the old Criminal Code and article 411 of the new Criminal Code, and to determine the effectiveness of the regulation of sanctions of adultery in the Criminal Code reviewed from the perspective of Islamic Criminal Law. This study uses normative juridical methods with legislative, conceptual, and legal reform approaches that are analyzed qualitatively normatively through literature studies. The results of the study show that Article 411 of the new Criminal Code expands the regulation of adultery compared to Article 284 of the old Criminal Code. From the perspective of Islamic criminal law, the arrangement is not fully in line with Islamic penal principles. In terms of effectiveness, Article 284 of the old Criminal Code is considered to be weak, while the new Article 411 of the Criminal Code shows a broader arrangement even though its application is still limited. The novelty of this study lies in the comparative analysis of the regulation of adultery in the old Criminal Code and the new Criminal Code which is associated with effectiveness based on court decisions in 2021–2025 and analyzed through the maqaṣid al-shari'ah approach. This research contributes to the development of criminal law studies through the analysis of the update of the regulation of the crime of adultery in the new Criminal Code. In addition, this study contributes to examining the conformity of the regulation of zina with the values of Islamic criminal law, this study also contributes to assessing the effectiveness of the regulation of the sanction of adultery, not only formally, but also in its application to the protection of morals, heredity, and honor.

Abstract

This study analyzes regulatory gaps and the effectiveness of legal protection for Indonesian Migrant Workers who possess Mandarin language skills and are vulnerable to illegal labor practices. Although Law Number 18 of 2017 establishes a protection framework for the pre-placement, placement, and post-placement stages, its implementation has not fully addressed vulnerabilities arising from informal recruitment, document forgery, and weak oversight of unregistered agencies. Using a normative legal method and a qualitative approach, this research evaluates regulations, employment contracts, BP2MI reports, and studies related to PMI placement in Mandarin-speaking countries. The findings indicate that while Mandarin proficiency can enhance employment opportunities, it also creates loopholes for exploitation, particularly through non-procedural channels that are difficult for consular services and diplomatic protection to reach. Limitations in inter-agency coordination further exacerbate these risks. This study recommends the need for bilateral regulatory harmonization, strengthened oversight based on language competence, enhanced transnational legal aid, and the application of John Rawls principles of justice to reinforce substantial protection for Indonesian Migrant Workers.
