Based on this reality, this study aims to understand the phenomenon of child marriage in Jember, explore its underlying causes, and analyze the perspectives of religious leaders on Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) regarding child marriage. This research employs a field research method with a descriptive-explorative approach, focusing on uncovering the phenomenon and proposing solutions to child marriage through the lens of religious leaders’ interpretations of <em>fiqh</em> texts. The findings reveal that child marriage in Jember significantly impacts those involved. Religious leaders in the region respond to this issue by emphasizing the importance of physical and emotional readiness as prerequisites for marriage. In specific cases justified by existing regulations, they recommend that the Religious Court grant marriage dispensations. Their views align with contemporary maqashid sharia, particularly in efforts to safeguard the integrity and sustainability of family institutions.</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Sri Lumatus Sa’adah, Mahmudah, Uswatul Khasanah Copyright (c) 2025 ALFIQH Islamic Law Review Journal https://ejournal.tamanlitera.id/index.php/ilrj/article/view/189 Mon, 13 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0700 LEGAL AND ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVES ON FEMICIDE https://ejournal.tamanlitera.id/index.php/ilrj/article/view/197 <p>Femicide, as an extreme form of gender-based violence, has significantly increased in the last five years, as recorded by Komnas Perempuan. This research analyses legal regulations related to femicide in Indonesia and explores the Islamic perspective on the issue. The study uses a library research method with a juridical-normative and historical approach. The findings reveal that the Qur'an explicitly condemns the killing of women, particularly in the context of Jahiliya, as seen in QS. An-Nahl verses 58-59. In Islamic criminal law, femicide is classified as <em>jarimah qishasiyyah</em>, carrying severe legal consequences. However, Indonesia's legal system does not yet have a specific, firm response to femicide. Therefore, more comprehensive regulations are needed to provide stronger legal protection for women and ensure justice for femicide victims. Currently, the settlement of these cases relies on the Criminal Code, Human Rights Law, Domestic Violence Law, and the Sexual Violence Crime Law (TPKS).</p> Khusnul Khotimah, Muhammad Burhanul Umam, Ali Mutakin, Ahmad Hasbi Asshidiqi Copyright (c) 2025 ALFIQH Islamic Law Review Journal https://ejournal.tamanlitera.id/index.php/ilrj/article/view/197 Wed, 26 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0700
