Abstract

Cilacap Regency, Central Java, has experienced a significant increase in divorce cases and is ranked the highest in the region. In response to this trend, the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Cilacap launched a marriage certification program to counteract the spike in divorce rates. Using a qualitative research design, this study used primary data from interviews and secondary data from an information review involving KUA officers and certification counselors in Cilacap Regency. Data validation used the triangulation method, and analysis interpreted the information thematically through al-Ghazālī maṣlaḥah theory. This study aims to examine the application of al-Ghazālī maṣlaḥah theory in the implementation of the marriage certification program in Cilacap Regency. The findings of this study highlight the program’s alignment with al-Ghazālī maṣlaḥah theory, categorizing it as maṣlaḥah ḍarūriyyah (primary), which requires an immediate implementation to uphold the objectives of Sharia: safeguarding religion, mind, soul, property, and offspring.

Abstract

This article addresses the contentious issues between Islamic Jurisprudence (fiqh) and cultural practices related to forced marriage. Motivated by the widespread prevalence of forced marriage in society, often perpetuated with religious arguments, the research aims to provide insights into the meaning of the term “ijbar” in fiqh discourse. While fiqh interprets “ijbar” as a custodian’s right to coerce their daughter, the article highlights the specific term “ikrah” for coercion in Islamic law. Utilizing a qualitative method, the study involves document analysis through an in-depth examination of fiqh literature. Data sources include classical and contemporary jurisprudence literature, information on forced marriages in Indonesia, and religious fatwas from the Indonesian Women’s Ulama Congress (KUPI). The article argues that forced marriage contradicts the maqāṣid al-sharī'ah, evidenced by spiritual and religious decline, domestic violence, restricted access to education, adverse reproductive effects, and limited economic resources.

Abstract

The declining interest of young people in farming extends beyond the food sector to include the plantation sector, warranting attention. This study addresses the insufficient exploration of the aspirations of plantation sector farmers’ children to pursue farming. The research focuses on analyzing the perceptions of farmers and their offspring regarding continuing rubber farming and identifying influencing factors in Ujung Tanjung Village, Banyuasin III District, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra. Employing a random sampling survey method, 36 school-age children were interviewed from a population of 175. Findings indicate that the children’s interest in rubber farming is relatively low (average score: 53.25), influenced by factors such as land area, participation in family farming, and agricultural extension. Although a generational transition in agricultural activities is observed in the village, guidance and counseling remain crucial to address farmer children’s perceptions.

Abstract

Islam encourages women to achieve the highest intellectual and spiritual abilities and does not prioritize men over women. The early generation of Islam, known as the Ṣaḥabiyyah (companions of the Prophet), played a significant role in narrating hadith from the first to the next generation. This study explores the role of the Ṣaḥabiyyāt (female companions of the Prophet) in narrating the greatest source of Islam, especially the hadith. The study uses a qualitative method, collecting data and inventorying female narrators from Jawāmi’ul Kālim software. The results show that over 160 female narrators from the time of the the Ṣaḥabat or Tābi’in played an active role in the transmission of hadith to the next generation. The intelligence of the Ṣaḥabiyyat not only became teachers but also of prominent male companions. The study can motivate females to be at the forefront of education and scientific transformation without fear of gender differentiation.

Abstract

Three models of community organizing (CO) are commonly used as paradigms: the conventional Alinsky’s, faith-based community organizing (FBCO), and the women-centered model. However, few studies on CO that focus on integrating these three models as a comprehensive lens of analysis. The women-centered community organizing paradigm lacks religio-spiritual complexity, which hinders the acceptance of women empowerment’s message among religious communities. This study aims to propose a practical community-organizing model by synthesizing three different community-organizing models carried out by religious-based women non-governmental organizations. This study combines a systemic literature review method and a qualitative approach to study women-based CSOs. The finding indicates that integrating three community organizing (CO) models effectively empowers women.

Abstract

The dual roles carried out by Indonesian women as both mothers and workers have increasingly garnered attention amidst dynamic social and economic changes. This article explores the concept of "Kepala Putik" as a perspective accompanied by the stigma faced by Indonesian women in fulfilling these dual roles. The research utilizes a qualitative method with a literature study approach. The primary data sources stem from a comprehensive review of relevant literature, including scholarly articles, books, and reports related to the dual roles of women in Indonesia. This study highlights the increasing participation of women in the workforce in Indonesia, focusing on a literature analysis to understand the social perspectives and challenges faced by women in balancing these dual roles. The uniqueness of this research lies in its emphasis on the specific concept of "Kepala Putik" and how this stigma uniquely affects Indonesian women. The findings of this study reveal the complexity of stereotypes and social norms related to women who choose to work while continuing to fulfil their roles as mothers.

Abstract

The discussions around inheritance law highlight differences in quantity, potentially leading to discrimination claims without fully considering the legal rationale. The study explores how women can assert equality within diverse legal frameworks shaped by cultural contexts. This study using qualitative methods and case studies gather data to understand how women have developed unique legal cultures and sub-cultures. Findings suggest that women can advocate for gender justice within varying legal constitutions as long as they ensure protective measures are in place. Ultimately, for inheritance law to remain relevant and equitable, it must accommodate women’s perspectives and provide a foundation that respects their rights, ensuring that the law serves society fairly and inclusively without marginalizing any group.

Abstract

Women's empowerment efforts always encounter obstacles and challenges. This paper explores the economic empowerment of women in Saudi Arabia within the context of Saudi Vision 2030, a plan aimed at enhancing women's roles in various sectors. Although existing research has addressed women’s empowerment under this vision, a comprehensive evaluation of the government’s initiatives is still lacking. The study evaluates policies designed to economically empower women, guided by a theoretical framework based on key empowerment elements: agency, access to resources, opportunity structure, and achievement, inspired by the perspectives of Evelyn Derera and Amartya Sen. A qualitative, descriptive approach is used, incorporating secondary data analysis from literature reviews and government reports on Vision 2030. Findings reveal that reforms have increased women’s participation in economic and educational sectors, including partial removal of the male guardianship system. However, challenges such as cultural norms, nepotism, and gender discrimination continue to limit women’s access to higher leadership roles. Despite significant progress, more efforts are required to address these persistent barriers and fully empower women in Saudi Arabia.

Abstract

Children with special needs experience disruptions in their physical, mental, and cognitive development and socialization, causing their daily activities to differ from other children. One classification of children with special needs was Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), in which the status and severity of ASD symptoms are related to cognitive abilities. This study aimed to determine the relationship between autism status in children with special needs and their cognitive abilities. This study employs a quantitative design with a cross-sectional method and involves 55 children with special needs in Malang City, East Java Province, Indonesia. The study was conducted on 55 children with special needs in Malang City in East Java Province, Indonesia. The Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ-10) questionnaire was used to measure autism status, and cognitive abilities were measured using the Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC). This study showed that as many as 85.5% of children with special needs have characteristics that lead to autism. Most children lived with siblings (72.8%), and 21.8% had siblings with the same condition. The Spearman-Rho analysis indicated a significant relationship between autism status and cognitive abilities (coefficient: 0.425; p-value=0.001). Our study found that children with special needs tend to have ASD status, so children with ASD need to get cognitive therapy according to their abilities. Therefore, parents and special needs schools must collaborate to enhance the cognitive abilities, quality of life, and overall health of special needs students through therapy focused on child's abilities to help them achieve independence and productivity.
