Abstract

The palm leaf craft industry in Bona Village has flourished since the 1950s, coinciding with the popularity of Kecak dance performances. This qualitative research explores women’s involvement and gender-based roles in the industry. Observations and interviews with eight informants revealed a stark division of labor: men generally operate the machines, while women dominate the manual weaving techniques. Women’s roles are crucial at every stage. In the pre-production stage, they collect raw materials. During the production process, women are responsible for washing, cutting, dyeing, and shaping the palm leaves into finished products. In the distribution stage, they distribute their products to local collectors and art markets outside the village. Although not the primary source of income for most families, this industry holds significant economic and social value, contributing to the cultural identity of Bona Village. Balinese women in Bona Village not only fulfill reproductive and socio-religious functions but also play key roles in production, possessing economic sovereignty. These findings confirm the existence of a cultural meritocracy in which women serve as social shock absorbers in the face of crises. Theoretically, this research enriches contextual feminist studies on the relationship between Balinese culture, gender relations, and the household economy. Practically, this study provides recommendations for strengthening women's bargaining power in the traditional crafts industry and recognizing their complex role as drivers of the national economy in the postmodern era.

Abstract

This study analyzes marriage practices within the merarik culture (merarik kode’) among Sasak women in Pejanggik Village, Central Lombok, using the Harvard Gender Analysis Framework and Walby’s theory of patriarchy. The study focuses on understanding how early marriage within this cultural tradition influences women’s educational experiences and gender relations in everyday life. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with purposive sampling to select participants who had experienced marriage through the merarik tradition. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving Sasak women who married at a young age as well as local stakeholders. The collected data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, including data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that women who experience merarik kode’ often live within unequal gender relations in which domestic responsibilities are assigned to them despite participation in income-generating activities. Their autonomy and access to resources are restricted, as many decisions require approval from their husbands. In addition, early marriage significantly affects women’s educational trajectories. Many women are forced to drop out of formal schooling, face difficulties in continuing equivalency education, and experience limited access to information and knowledge development. These limitations also influence their capacity in parenting and child education. This study highlights that early marriage within the merarik cultural context contributes to educational inequality and limits women’s opportunities for empowerment and social mobility. Therefore, culturally sensitive educational programs and community-based interventions are needed to increase awareness of women’s education and reduce early marriage practices.

Abstract

This study explores the obligation of biological fathers to provide financial support for children born outside marriage, focusing on the groundbreaking views of classical jurist Ibn Taimiyah and their relevance to the modern law of child rights adopted in Indonesia. Traditional fiqh generally denies all civil rights of illegitimate children, such as maintenance, inheritance, or guardianship, assigning responsibility for their welfare to the mother or the state. Ibn Taimiyah, however, challenges this consensus by proposing a recognition mechanism (istilhaq) that can establish a paternal bond under specific conditions, with which a certain kind of child support can be imposed on the biological father. Using a juridical-normative approach, this research draws on Ibn Taimiyah’s writings and classical fiqh texts as primary sources, while contemporary journals in Islamic family law and Indonesian legislation are secondary. The findings reveal that Ibn Taimiyah’s concept should be considered progressive, aligns with maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, and emphasizing the protection of children’s socio-economic rights, lineage, and welfare. His ideas resonate with modern legal developments in Indonesia, including the Constitutional Court Decision No. 46/PUU-VIII/2010 and MUI Fatwa No. 11/2012. This study argues that integrating Ibn Taimiyah’s insights can contribute to a more equitable and child-centered framework in contemporary Islamic family law.
