Abstract

The international community sees child marriage as a traditional practice affecting children’s rights, self-development, and future. Academic literature worldwide records that child marriage harms children’s rights to health, education, and growth. Muslim scholars must engage with Islamic law frameworks to advance children’s rights in Muslim countries. Thus, Islamic law frameworks such as Siyasa al-Shar’iyya have the potential to end child marriage. Therefore, this article discusses classical and contemporary views on child marriage and focuses on Siyasa al-Shar’iyya as a framework to curb child marriage practices. This study uses a qualitative approach by applying the content analysis method to classic and contemporary Islamic legal texts. The study concluded that government could introduce legal reforms based on the framework of Siyasa al-Shar’iyya to curb child marriage. Several studies have shown that child marriage negatively impacts children’s rights and well-being. Accordingly, this could be classified as mafsada, which the authorities should avoid protecting the children’s interests. Siyasa al-Shar’iyya allows the government to prohibit any permissible act, such as child marriage, to protect the public interest. Children’s rights groups can cite such arguments to advocate against child marriage in Muslim countries.

Abstract

Regardless of the social stigma faced, polyamory has become a widely discussed issue and has received much attention in various fields. This study aims to examine the legal aspects regarding the criminalization of polyamory from the perspective of Islamic criminal law and the new penal code in Indonesia. This study is a type of normative juridical research with a conceptual and statutory approach. The research results show that any sexual relation outside of legal marriage is considered adultery in Islam, requiring criminal sanctions for the perpetrators. Polyamory cases involving same-sex couples are also included in the criminal act. In the Indonesian legal context, although the term polyamory is not mentioned explicitly, the new Penal Code has the potential to criminalize polyamorous perpetrators with the latest regulations regarding adultery and cohabitation offenses. This new penal code can also criminalize homosexual behaviour including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and Queer plus(LGBTQ+) people. However, the perpetrator of polyamory can only be convicted if there is a complaint from the aggrieved party (i.e. the legal spouse, children, and parents of the perpetrator), because those articles fall into the category of absolute complaint offenses. Looking at the cultural values of Indonesian society, especially the teachings of Islam as a religion adhered to by the majority of citizens, the criminalization of polyamory should be included in the ordinary complaint offense so that it can be in line with the living norms in society.
