Interpretation of The Phrase “Coercion” in The Compilation of Islamic Law as Reasons for Cancellation of Marriage

Marriage is a common thing in society with ubudiyyah elements in it. However, legal issues often accompany the sanctity of the marriage bond itself, such as the cancellation of a marriage due to an element of coercion from a third party. Article 71 Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) states that one of the reasons for being able to apply for a marriage cancellation is because of coercion when the marriage took place. The purpose of this study is to analyze the meaning of the phrase "coercion" as a reason for annulment of marriage and its accompanying legal implications. This type of research is classified as normative-empirical legal research using a statutory approach and a conceptual approach plus a sociological approach as a tool. This research refers to a variety of primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials compiled and traced through literature studies and interviews with judges of the Religious Courts.

As a form of legal consequence, annulment of a marriage by force is different from divorce, where the marriage bond that occurred before the breakup of the marriage is considered never to have occurred.

The Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Divorce Rates among Indonesian Muslim Societies

This study aims to look at the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on divorce rates in Indonesia. Few months after the outbreak, the media reported the increasing rate of divorce. Some authorities and researchers have taken this information for granted; therefore, their responses can be misleading. This socio-legal study confronts the media reports with the statistical data on divorce case numbers received by the Religious (Islamic) Courts and the Religious Courts judges’ explanation about the issue. This study finds out that the one-year period (2020) of the COVID-19 pandemic has not influenced the rates of divorce cases submitted to the court. Social mobility restrictions and the inadequate use of the E-Court facility to enhance courts’ performance are among the causes of the crowding of divorce applicants. This implies that the current COVID-19 pandemic has little impact on divorce dynamics despite its significant influence on households’ economic instability and the increasing of domestic violence cases. With a more careful response to the media report, the authorities will be able to address the real issues faced by many households and the judiciary.
