Age Of Marriage

The practice of child marriage in Indonesia is a serious problem that must be resolved. This is a problem faced in various countries in the world. The SDG's programs include achieving gender equality and empowering women and girls, with a target to achieve the abolition of child marriage by 2030. The research method used is a social-legal approach. The purpose of this study is to find out the government's efforts in overcoming the problem of gender inequality in the age requirements for marriage in Indonesia and the application for dispensation for marriage during the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. The old Marriage Law stipulates that the age of marriage for men is 19 years and for women 16 years. The government then changed this provision through Law Number 16 of 2019 concerning Marriage, in which the marriage age for men and women is the same, which is 19 years. During the Covid-19 pandemic, applications for marriage dispensation in Indonesia indicated a sharp increase. This means that the application for marriage dispensation is unaffected by the Covid-19 pandemic situation. The existence of exceptions through dispensation efforts makes the requirements for the age of marriage can still be deviated, so that gender equality, which is expected to minimize child marriages above, cannot be realized or cannot be carried out as desired.

Age Of Marriage

The age of marriage is always a polemic in the household. This is based on the view that the age of marriage that is not mature mentally, physically, psychologically, and education is susceptible to unstable attitudes in taking policies or decisions. So that it is feared that they have not been able to respond to problems in the marriage. Indonesia is a country with Muslims as a major population regulating the minimum age of marriage, as well as Muslim countries in the world. The research method used is the juridicalnormative approach. There are someconclusions obtained. First, the Shari'a does not explicitly set a minimum age for marriage, but legal age and understanding are elements that must be fulfilled for prospective brides, and especially for husbands who are positioned as heads of families. Second, every Islamic country, including Indonesia, has different rules regarding the minimum age of marriage, but the purpose of the restriction remains the same, which is to form a partner who is physically and resourcefully ready to build a sakinah household.Keywords: Rules; Age; Marriage

Age Of Marriage

At what age do girls gain the maturity to make sexual choices? This question provokes especially vexed debates in India, where early marriage is a widespread practice. India has served as a focal problem site in NGO campaigns and intergovernmental conferences setting age standards for sexual maturity. Over the last century, the country shifted the legal age of marriage from twelve, among the lowest in the world, to eighteen, at the high end of the global spectrum. Ashwini Tambe illuminates the ideas that shaped such shifts: how the concept of adolescence as a sheltered phase led to delaying both marriage and legal adulthood; how the imperative of population control influenced laws on marriage age; and how imperial moral hierarchies between nations provoked defensive postures within India. Tambe's transnational feminist approach to legal history shows how intergovernmental debates influenced Indian laws and how expert discourses in India changed UN terminology about girls. Ultimately, the well-meaning focus on child marriage became tethered less to the well-being of girls themselves and more to parents' interests, population control targets, and the preservation of national reputation.

Statistics show that the number of female students enrolled in public universities is higher than male students. However, this scenario is very different from the involvement of women in the economic sector because the statistics of women's involvement in the economic sector are low and not as high as the statistics of female student enrollment to university. Therefore, this paper intends to examine the issue of gender equality and women's empowerment according to Islamic law and the situation in Malaysia. This paper will also analyse the factors that lead to the lack of women's involvement in the economic sector in Malaysia. The discussion adopts the qualitative research method by examining the issue according to the perspective of Islamic law as well as the perspective of law and the current situation in Malaysia. This paper finds that there is still no clear mechanism that should be implemented to address the issue of gender equality. Therefore, all parties including the government and employers must be more progressive in formulating a policy system that can address the issue of gender equality and women's empowerment. In the meantime, this study also suggests that the government should follow the recommendations by the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) so that the issue of gender equality can be addressed immediately.

Indonesian Muslims have not maximally applied maturity of marriage age as an important aspect in obtaining marital success. Apart from the concept of maturity of diverse marriage age, divorces and many marital problems based on the immaturity of a married couple still rife in Indonesia. The government has even issued regulations related to the age of marriage through Law number 1 of 1974 that was revised by Law number 16 of 2019, which stipulates that marriage is limited to a minimum age of 19 years for the two brides. This article aims to find the concept of quality-oriented marriage age to complement the quantity-oriented idea as applied by the Indonesian government and as understood differently by Muslims based on the opinions of the scholars (‘ulamā). This article abstracts the concept of the ideal age of marriage from the instructions of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH as the primary reference of Islamic teachings by discussing the hadīth using the ma‘ānī al-ḥadīṡ analysis with three interpretation techniques namely textual, intertextual, and contextual interpretation to obtain comprehensive meaning. The results of the examination show that the hadīth requires the criteria for the maturity of the marriage age in the form of religious, physical, financial, and social maturity. These qualitative criteria fulfill the element of maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah and are interconnected so that they should be actualized as a new basis in the formulation of policies related to the maturity of marriage age in Muslim societies.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) began in 2016 with great hopes that they will promote social development, economic development, and environmentally sustainable development with the motto, “Leave No One Behind” (UN 2016). In particular, SDGs’ goal 5, “Achieve Gender Equality and Empower All Women and Girls” (UN 2016). However, persistently high gender gap was found in many countries around the world whether they are developed or developing. The 2016 Global Gender Gap Index (GGGI), which examines gender inequality across four key areas of health, education, economy and politics, showed that the gender gap widened in many countries, and the gap in “economic participation and opportunity” showed the largest gender gap compared to health, education and political participation (World Economic Forum 2016). Interestingly, the GGGI do not match the global ranking of countries based on their GDP size, GDP per capita, or even the level of poverty. Thus, in order to deal with the underlying causes of deep-rooted and persistent gender inequality we must develop more culturally nuanced and contextualized approaches in the SDGs to tackle gender inequality (Song & Kim 2013). Gender inequality is simply not acceptable in the world where half of the world’s citizens are not provided with the same rights as the other half. It is also economically less productive to rely on only half of the world’s labor force to help eradicate poverty. Education, employment, and full empowerment of women and girls must be a priority for the SDGs.

The most detrimental thing is the use of domain names on internet networks that often use company name, brand and services without permission from the brand owner. The position of the brand is very important in the world of advertising and marketing. That happens because consumers in choosing a product related to the reputation of a brand, based on a sense of trust in the experience in using products with that brand. Aside from being a differentiator of a product with other products, a brand is also a valuable and commercial asset that has moral rights and economic rights. This study aims to analyse the preventive and repressive legal protection of trademark rights holders in e-commerce transactions. This research was conducted using the normative legal research method. The results of this study indicate that the preventive legal protection of trademark rights holders in e-commerce transactions is to register the trademark. The emphasis on preventive protection in this research is related to guarantees of the exercise of rights for brand rights holders in e-commerce transactions. That the presence of the government by drafting the Electronic Commerce Act and conducting socialization related to the legal protection of the parties in e-commerce is expected to be able to provide legal certainty of legal protection. Repressive legal protection in resolving trademark disputes is expected to create a guarantee for the enforcement of the rights of registered trademark rights holders in e-commerce transactions. Settlement of trademark disputes in e-commerce transactions can be done in 2 (two) ways, namely litigation and non-litigation.

Gender refers to the complex social construction of men’s and women’s identities. Sex and gender are different. The biological or physical construction is sex, which is created by nature. Gender is  purely a social construct. Gender Equality is a concept that is yet to be materialized. Around the world different individuals and groups of people are marginalized and discriminated on the basis of various factors, but discrimination against women is universal. Due to this, women are not able to use their full potential or assert their rights to live healthy life, and it has a deep impact in economic development. Gender equality is not only matter of human right but also basic of economic development. Gender inequality is a severe obstacle to socio-economic development, human capital development and income generation. Gender inequality is harmful to long term development and growth. Unequal gender will never alone be sufficient for poverty reduction and economic development. Gender discrimination not only affects females but males as well. The discriminatory practices do not only affect individuals but national economy and world economy as a whole. Due to stereotypical division of work most men are over loaded with economic duties, while women are being limited to household works only. Fifty per cent of the world population is over-loaded with economic duties, while fifty per cent of the brain is underutilized. The economic value of the household work which is done by females is not calculated and reflected in a country’s economy. This devalues the effort and work done by females and also is loss for the national economy. Education and development goes together, for a better balance of gender, educational equality is must. Education is key factor to promote human capital, which ensures economic growth. Formal education, trainings, study programs improves the capacity of individuals to live a decent life, which is the basic of development. Gender will never alone be sufficient for development. Gender equality is not only matter of human right but also basis of economic development.

Advocates for ending child marriage in Indonesia face an uphill battle. The practice of child marriage is rooted in broader structural problems such as poverty and gender inequality which are intertwined with people's views on marriage, sexuality and morality according to religion and tradition. In this regard, the practice of child marriage must be understood in various fields such as religious norms on marriage, morality around premarital sex, people's views on gender and the role of children and parenting, which are not all pro-women. The views on child marriage, how child marriage is practiced, the rules and enforcement are different and often contradictory between actors and institutions, however it is girls who suffer the most as a result of the practice of child marriage. This study discusses the government efforts that have been made in protecting women and underage marriages and sees to what extent these actions can eradicate and protect. Abstrak Advokasi untuk mengakhiri pernikahan anak di Indonesia menghadapi perjuangan berat. Praktik perkawinan anak berakar pada masalah struktural yang lebih luas seperti kemiskinan dan ketimpangan gender yang saling terkait dengan pandangan masyarakat tentang perkawinan, seksualitas, dan moralitas menurut agama dan tradisi. Berkaitan dengan hal tersebut, praktik perkawinan anak harus dipahami dalam berbagai bidang seperti norma agama tentang perkawinan, moralitas seputar seks pranikah, pandangan masyarakat tentang gender serta peran anak dan pola asuh yang tidak semuanya berpihak pada perempuan. Pandangan tentang perkawinan anak, bagaimana perkawinan anak dipraktekkan, peraturan dan penegakannya berbeda-beda dan seringkali kontradiktif antara aktor dan lembaga, namun anak perempuanlah yang paling menderita akibat praktek perkawinan anak. Penelitian ini membahas upaya pemerintah yang telah dilakukan dalam melakukan perlindungan terhadap perempuan dan pernikahan di bawah umur dan melihat sejauh mana tindakan ini dapat meberantas dan melindungi.

Abstrak Metode pembelajaran tahsin Al-Quran merupakan sebuah proses belajar seseorang agar bisa membaca Al-Quran dengan baik dan benar. Dengan adanya metode tahsin Al-Quran ini maka akan selalu  lahir generasi-generasi yang mampu membaca Al-Quran dengan tartil, dan dampaknya secara langsung akan menunjang dan membantu fokus pemerintah di dalam mencapai tujuan pendidikan itu sendiri. Salah satu metode supaya pembelajaran tahsin Al-Quran itu berjalan menarik adalah dengan menggunakan pendekatan Naghom maqomat (Seni Irama baca Al-Quran). Salah satu maqomat yang menarik itu adalah irama bayati. Dari tanah Arab ke seluruh penjuru dunia, nagham telah menjadi teman setia bagi tajwid Al-Qur’an, kemudian umat Islam bisa membaca Al-Qur’an dengan versi murattal dan versi mujawwad. Walaupun muncul perbedaan pendapat tentang boleh atau tidaknya nagham dalam membaca al-Qur’an, akan tetapi perbedaan pendapat -yang sudah tua- tersebut bermuara pada sikap kehati-hatian dari ulama madzhab Maliki akan tercemarnya kemurnian Al-Qur’an. Tujuan daripada penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui pengembangan metode tahsin dengan pendekatan maqamat bayati. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian kualitatif dengan cara eksperimen. Ringkasan dari penelitian ini adalah menjabarkan tentang sebuah  metode tahsin baru yang mudah, menarik dan menyenangkan serta mudah dipelajari. Kesimpulannya adalah menghasilkan sebuah metode baru yang dapat meningkatkan daya minat orang untuk belajar tahsin Al-Quran. Abstract The method of learning tahsin Al-Quran is a learning process for someone to be able to read the Koran properly and correctly. With the existence of this method of tahsin Al-Quran, generations will always be born who are able to read the Al-Quran with tartil, and its impact will directly support and help the focus of the government in achieving its own educational goals. One method to make the learning of the Al-Quran tahsin run interesting is to use the Naghom maqomat approach (the art of reading the Al-Quran). One of the interesting maqomats is the baby rhythm. From the land of Arabia to all corners of the world, nagham has become a loyal friend to the recitation of the Al-Qur'an, then Muslims can read the Al-Qur'an in the murattal version and the mujawwad version. Even though there are differences of opinion about whether or not nagham is allowed to read the Qur'an, the difference of opinion - which is old - leads to the caution of the Maliki school of thought that the purity of the Al-Qur'an is tainted. The purpose of this research is to determine the development of the tahsin method with the maqamat bayati approach. The method used is a qualitative research method by means of experiments. The summary of this study describes a new tahsin method that is easy, interesting and fun and easy to learn. The conclusion is to produce a new method that can increase people's interest in learning tahsin Al-Quran.
