KDRT dan Hukum Keluarga: Peran Hukum Keluarga Islam dalam Menghindari KDRT

Abstract

This paper departs from the many cases of domestic violence. The role of Islamic family law is very important in avoiding this domestic violence. Rules that play an important role in avoiding domestic violence include the marriage covenant, the rights and obligations of a husband and wife, and the age of marriage. Indonesia and several other Muslim countries have made reforms to this rule. Despite the renewal, however, domestic violence persists. This is because substance of the rules made tends to subordinate dan discrimination to women. Violence seems to be legitimized by its own rules. To prevent further domestic violence, the rules need to be revised.
