Challenging the Secular State: The Islamization of Law in Modern Indonesia

The author argues that attempts to formally implement shari’a in Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim state, have always been marked by tensions between the political aspirations of proponents and opponents of shari’a and by resistance from the national gover…

Gendering the Islamic Judiciary: Female Judges in the Religious Courts of Indonesia
Compared to other Muslim countries, Indonesia has been the forefront, if not the frontrunner, in welcoming women to occupy a position as judges at the Islamic court. Despite few Indonesian women were already sitting at Islamic courtrooms and hearing cases on family law issues as early as in 1960s, it was only in 1989 that Indonesia fully accommodated female judges at the religious courts. From this onwards, female judges were recruited more than …

Dynamic Legal Pluralism in Indonesia: Contested Legal Orders in Contemporary Aceh
This paper examines the contest between the clams to jurisdiction of shari'a courts and other tribunals in the framework of dynamic legal pluralism in Aceh, Indonesia. During Aceh's sultanates, Islamic law and adat co-existed and at times were hardly distinguished. The Dutch colonial presence contributed to sharper demarcations between shari'a and adat, the Dutch policies tending to support adat institutions and adat leaders. In post-independence…

Discourses on Democracy Within Debates on State-Islam Relations in Indonesia
This study discusses the discourse on democracy within the context of the larger debate on Islam-state relations in Indonesia and correlates the religious approach with theories of democracy. It begins with a brief description of types of democracy formulated by political scientists in order to help us classify the Islamic groups efforts in the process of democratization in Indonesia. This is followed by an exploration of these groups views of de…
‘Sharia from below’ in Aceh (1930s–1960s): Islamic identity and the right to self‐determination with comparative reference to the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (Milf)
Introduction Discussions of shari a and politics have often proposed that the former is manipulated by the latter. It has been argued that Muslim rulers have employed shari a as a symbol to acquire political legitimacy from their Muslim citizens and political influence with other Muslim countries (Schumann, 1999). In addition, it has been argued that the codification of shari a by Muslim regimes is intended in the interests of legal unification i…
