Nikahal-khitbah or popularly known as nikah gantung became a choice of a handful of teenagers especially among university students in Malaysia due to financial constraints and educational reason. Such type of wedding practice raises a number of questions related to juristic issues. This is because the practice of Nikahal-khitbah involves establishing some limitation of rights that violate the purpose or intent of marriage. Among others, the spouses agree to defer some of their rights such as declining the right of nafaqah and the right of sexual intercourse which are against the original purpose (muqtada aqd) of marriage contract. This paper aims to study the opinions of jurists (FuqahÉ’) regarding such limitation or agreement in marriage contract and their validity according to the Islamic Family Law in Malaysia. This paper relies on analytical study in discussing the opinions of the Fuqaha’ and understanding the legal texts of the law related to the matter. This study found that marriage practice through nikah al-khitbah is valid according to the majority views of FuqahÉ’. Islamic family laws in Malaysia do not deny the validity of such marriage practices although there are some legal effects on the limitation of marriage rights.           Keywords: Agreement in marriage contract, nikah al-khitbah, permission by the wali, Islamic Family Law in Malaysia. Abstrak Nikah al-khitbah atau lebih dikenali dengan nikah gantung menjadi pilihan segelintir remaja terutamanya di kalangan pelajar universiti di Malaysia atas faktor kekangan kewangan serta pelajaran. Amalan pernikahan ini menimbulkan beberapa pertanyaan berkaitan hukum fiqh. Ini adalah kerana di dalam amalan pernikahan secara nikah al-khitbah melibatkan penetapan beberapa syarat tertentu yang menyalahi maksud serta tujuan pernikahan. Antaranya, pasangan suami isteri bersetuju untuk melepaskan hak mereka terhadap pasangan mereka, iaitu hak mendapat nafaqah dan hak melakukan hubungan kelamin, yang mana ianya bercanggah dengan matlamat asal atau muqtada akad nikah. Objektif kertas kerja ini adalah untuk mengkaji pandangan para Fuqaha’ terhadap pensyaratan atau perjanjian sebegitu di dalam akad nikah dan keterikatannya menurut Undang-Undang Keluarga Islam di Malaysia. Kertas kerja ini menggunakan kaedah analis di dalam membincangkan pandangan Fuqaha’ dan di dalam memahami peruntukan undang-undang berkaitan dengan perkara tersebut. Kajian ini mendapati bahawa amalan perkahwinan secara nikah al-khitbah adalah sah menurut pandangan majoriti FuqahÉ’. Undang-Undang Keluarga Islam di Malaysia tidak menafikan kesahan amalan pernikahan tersebut walaupun terdapat beberapa kesan undang-undang terhadap syarat yang ditetapkan.            Kata Kunci: Pensyaratan di dalam akad nikah, nikah al-khitbah, izin wali, Undang-Undang Keluarga Islam di Malaysia.

By Abdullahi A. An-Na'im, ed. London: Zed Books, 2002As the quintessential identity battleground, family law in Muslim countries and communities is one of the hottest political and developmental topics. Those situated within these contexts constantly find themselves struggling for progressive or (more often than not) against regressive reform, while for those with the outsider's gaze, 'understanding' Muslim communities is currently a major preoccupation.

Historically, efforts to reform Family Law in parts of the Islamic world began to be realized in the late 19th century AD. The reality of Islamic legal reforms carried out in Islamic countries in North Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia gave rise to unprecedented changes in the last century. These changes occur both in the justice system and in the system applied. Changes to family law were first carried out by Turkey, then followed by Lebanon in 1919, Jordan in 1951, and Syria in 1953. Muslim countries in the world, in their context with the renewal of family law, are divided into three categories. First, an Islamic state that does not carry out any renewal and still enforces family law as stipulated in the books of fiqh. Secondly, an Islamic state that has completely abandoned Islamic family law and adopted European civil law. Third, countries that are trying to enforce Islamic family law but after making reforms here and there. This paper tries to discuss one of the reforms carried out by one Muslim country, namely Turkey, which is related to the reformation (reform) of family law that starts from the history of reform, legislation, renewal, and legal material. The author chose Turkey because it is the first Muslim country to make changes to family law.

This article discusses intensively the discourse between those who support and against feminism within Indonesian Muslims. The two groups are represented by almanhaj.or.id and islami.co. The author compares three fundamental aspect of feminis legal theory: the position of men and women in Islamic family law; assumptions and relationship towards men and women; and accommodation of womaen’s experiences in law. From the three fundamental aspects, the author conclude that almanhaj.or.id is a Muslims’ website which understand women as object of law which are different with men and promote conservatism and anti-feminism, while islami.co represents Muslims’ website which understand women as subject of law which are equal with men and promote moderatism and feminism in understanding of Islamic Family Law. Artikel ini mendiskusikan secara intensif diskursus antara kelompok yang mendukung dan menetang feminisme di kalangan Muslim Indonesia. Dua kelompok tersebut direpresentasikan melalui situs almanhaj.or.id dan islami.co. Penulis membandingkan tiga aspek fundamental dalam Teori Hukum Feminis, yaitu: kedudukan laki-laki dan perempuan dalam hukum keluarga Islam; asumsi dan relasi antara laki-laki dan perempuan; dan akomodasi hukum terhadap pengalaman permpuan. Dari ketiga aspek itu, penulis menyimpulkan bahwa almanhaj.or.id merupakan sebuah website Muslim yang memahami perempuan sebagai objek hukum yang berbeda dengan laki-laki dan mempromosikan konservativisme dan anti-feminisme, sementara itu islami.co merepresentasikan website Muslim yang memahami perempuan sebagai subjek hukum yang setara dengan laki-laki dan mempromosikan moderatisme dan feminisme dalam memahami hukum keluarga Islam.
