The State of Indonesia’s Marriage Law: 50 Years of Statutory and Judicial Reforms
Because of its entanglement with religious norms, Muslim family law reform is a sensitive issue. In Indonesia, the validity, rights, and responsibilities pertaining to Muslim marriage and divorce are regulated by the 1974 Marriage Law and the 1991 Compilation of Islamic Law. The 1974 Marriage Law is both general and pluralistic in character, since it introduced general reforms applying to all religions, while leaving other matters to the legal re…
Who Are the Breadwinners
Polygamy is a highly controversial topic and the object of serious political contestation in Indonesia. Although all major Muslim organizations consider polygamy is allowed under Islamic Law, the practice is not without stigma. In 1974 when Indonesia adopted its current Marriage Law, the Indonesian parliament decided to tie polygamy to strict conditions. This law however failed to prevent the practice of unregistered polygamous marriages. Women i…
The second wife: Ambivalences towards state regulation of polygamy in Indonesia
This paper explores how legal and value pluralism creates or constrains space for second wives to express ambivalences towards negative aspects of their unregistered polygamous marriages. It analyses two types of ambivalence toward dominant Muslim family law norms: first, ambivalence toward dominant norms pertaining to the second wives’ status and roles within a polygamous marriage; and, second, ambivalence toward state regulation of Muslim marri…
Between Revenues and Public Service Delivery: SOE s and PSA s in Indonesia
This article examines the development of policies regarding the state-owned enterprises (SOE s) and public service agencies (PSA s) in Indonesia. In 2004, the government of Indonesia introduced PSA s-government agencies that were given large autonomy to manage their financial affairs. The rationale behind this autonomy is consistent with the New Public Management ideal: the creation of more market-oriented government institutions with the objecti…
The Status of Children Born Out of Wedlock and Adopted Children in Indonesia: Interactions Between Islamic, Adat , and Human Rights Norms
This article examines the cases of children born out of wedlock and adopted children with the aim of depicting the mechanisms through which the concepts of biological fatherhood, derived from the human-rights framework, and adoption, derived from the customary law framework, have been adopted into Indonesian Islamic family law. We argue that the introduction of external concepts into family law pertaining to Muslims requires an adaptation process…
Khul‘ over the longue durée: The decline of traditional fiqh-based divorce mechanisms in Indonesian legal practice
In this essay, I describe the historical development of three traditional fiqh -based divorce mechanisms in Indonesia that commonly result in a khul‘ divorce: regular khul‘ ( khuluk ), conditional divorce ( taklik talak ), and marital discord ( syiqaq ). In the practice of present-day Islamic courts these traditional fiqh -based divorce mechanisms have lost almost all of their former prominence. Through a historical analysis of legal practices of…
Democracy, Human Rights, and Islamic Family Law in Post-Soeharto Indonesia
This article examines the developments in Indonesian family law in the aftermath of the political transition that occurred in 1998. Its focus is on the position of the Islamic courts and the role of the women’s movement as a driver of reform. Combining literature on gender, Islam, and the state in Indonesia with new material such as divorce rates, cases of the Constitutional Court, and law reform initiatives, the authors argue that the family law…
The return of the native in Indonesian law: Indigenous communities in Indonesian legislation
Although the UN-proclaimed 'Decade for Indigenous Peoples' officially ended in 2004, the continuing array of activities in support of special 'indigenous rights' shows that this movement has lost little of its impetus. In spite of criticism of the underpinnings and of the consequences of attributing special rights to 'indigenous communities' (Kuper 2003), support for them has remained strong - among NGOs, international organizations, governments,…
