This chapter describes what might be the last battleground over “traditional” marriage—same-sex marriage, and the social and legal revolution that brought us from an era in which it was never contemplated to one in which, depending on the state, it is either expressly authorized or expressly prohibited. Same-sex marriage has posed—and continues to pose—a challenge to traditional definitions of marriage and family. But, more importantly, the issue implies broader changes in family law—the increasing role of constitutional analysis; limits on the right of government to regulate the family; and the clash between the traditional family form and a new and wider menu of intimate and household arrangements, and all this against the background of the rise of a stronger form of individualism.

Abstract: Measuring the Justice of Islamic Inheritance Law by Drawing upon the Text and Context of al-Nushûsh. Accusations against the Islamic inheritance distribution system are surfacing again. Several groups are finding fault with the 2:1 distribution for Islamic inheritors. They suggest this distribution method be converted into 1:1, like it is in the Western system of inheritance and like it is to some extent in Adat inheritance law. This study points out that theoretically Islamic inheritance law looks very clear, comprehensive and fair, from whatever angle you look at it. This takes into account, in a balanced way, the distributions that use the 2:1 approach for joint male and female heirs. The key to understanding this is inheritance has to be treated entirely as a sub-system of the family law system, and even has to be understood as an integral part of the whole Islamic legal system, which is sound and comprehensive.Keywords: justice, inheritance law, textual, al-nushûshAbstrak: Menakar Keadilan Hukum Waris Islam Melalui Pendekatan Teks dan Konteks al-Nushûsh. Gugatan mengenai sistem pembagian kewarisan Islam kembali muncul ke permukaan. Beberapa kalangan mempermasalahkan perimbangan waris Islam 2:1. Mereka menawarkan metode perimbangan ini menjadi 1:1, sebagaimana pada sistem hukum kewarisan Barat dan sebagian hukum kewarisan Adat.  Studi ini menunjukkan bahwa dari sisi mana pun hukum kewarisan Islam secara teoretik tampak sangat jelas, lengkap, dan adil. Termasuk dalam konteks perimbangan pembagiannya yang menggunakan pendekatan 2:1 untuk ahli waris laki-laki dan ahli waris perempuan. Kunci untuk memahaminya harus menempatkan posisi kewarisan sebagai sub sistem dari sistem hukum keluarga secara keseluruhan bahkan harus dipahami sebagai bagian integral dari keseluruhan sistem hukum Islam yang bersifat utuh dan menyeluruh.Kata Kunci: keadilan, hukum kewarisan, tekstual, al-nushûshDOI: 10.15408/ajis.v12i1.965

This article deals with the issue of the scope of protecting marriage and the family in the Polish criminal law system. The family is subject to Chapter 16 of the Polish Criminal Code, which is entitled “Crimes against family and guardianship”. The chapter’s title indicates that family and care are the legal generic good protected by the provisions it contains. However, the legislator’s actions are restrained so as not to interfere too much in the functioning of a family, on the one hand, while, on the other, providing protection for its members. The problem also involves the emotional bond between the perpetrator and the victim, which in many cases leads to non-disclosure of the fact of committing a crime. Criminal law is, in many cases, intended to strengthen civil and family law regulations.
