Childfree in a Variety of Perspectives: Philosophical Perspectives, Islamic Family Law and Contemporary Social Life

The childfree phenomenon has become a hot topic in contemporary society. This choice not only reflects the dynamics of modern lifestyles but also raises legal, social, and religious controversies. This research aims to analyze childfree law from various perspectives, namely legal philosophy, Islamic family law, sociology, and anthropology, as well as career and population aspects. A multidisciplinary approach is used to understand this phenomenon in its entirety and comprehensively. From the perspective of Islamic law, child freedom is considered contrary to maqashid al-shariah, especially in safeguarding offspring (hifzh al-nasl), which is one of the purposes of marriage. However, from the perspective of legal philosophy, such decisions can be justified through the principles of personal autonomy and freedom of choice. Meanwhile, sociological and anthropological perspectives view childfree as a reflection of changes in social structure, individualistic values, and the influence of modern economics and lifestyle. In addition, career factors and population density also influence these preferences, which indirectly impact demographics and development. This study shows the importance of a balanced approach between religious norms, individual freedom, and social responsibility in responding to the childfree phenomenon in the modern era.Fenomena childfree telah menjadi topik hangat dalam masyarakat kontemporer. Pilihan tersebut tidak hanya mencerminkan dinamika gaya hidup modern, tetapi juga menimbulkan kontroversi hukum, sosial, dan agama. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hukum childfree dari berbagai perspektif, yaitu filsafat hukum, hukum keluarga Islam, sosiologi, dan antropologi, serta aspek karier dan kependudukan. Pendekatan multidisiplin digunakan untuk memahami fenomena ini secara utuh dan komprehensif. Dari perspektif hukum Islam, childfree dianggap bertentangan dengan maqashid al-shariah, terutama dalam menjaga keturunan (hifzh al-nasl), yang merupakan salah satu tujuan perkawinan. Namun, dari perspektif filsafat hukum, keputusan tersebut dapat dibenarkan melalui prinsip-prinsip otonomi pribadi dan kebebasan memilih. Sementara itu, perspektif sosiologis dan antropologis memandang childfree sebagai refleksi dari perubahan struktur sosial, nilai-nilai individualistis, dan pengaruh ekonomi dan gaya hidup modern. Selain itu, faktor karier dan kepadatan penduduk juga memengaruhi preferensi tersebut, yang secara tidak langsung berdampak pada demografi dan pembangunan. Studi ini menunjukkan pentingnya pendekatan yang seimbang antara norma agama, kebebasan individu, dan tanggung jawab sosial dalam menanggapi fenomena tanpa anak di era modern

Approach Restorative In Loss Recovery Caused by Criminal Acts of Corruption

The restorative approach to the recovery of losses caused by criminal acts of corruption offers alternatives that focus on restoring relationships and losses compared to retributive approaches that only emphasize punishment. This study uses a normative juridical method with the law approach to analyze the basic principles of restorative approaches, recovery mechanisms, benefits, challenges, and implementation in Indonesia. The restorative approach is based on the principle of restoring losses, active participation of all parties, and reintegration of the perpetrators. The results of the discussion show that the restorative approach has the potential to increase justice and improve social relations, although there are still significant challenges. The application of this approach in Indonesia requires stronger legal and community support. This study concluded that the restorative approach can improve the law enforcement system with a greater focus on recovery and reintegration. Suggestions for further development include legal reform and increasing community participation to optimize the recovery of losses due to criminal acts of corruption, so that further legal reform is carried out to support restorative mechanisms and increase community participation

The Binding Authority of DSN-MUI Fatwas in the National Legal System: An Analysis from the Perspective of Islamic Law and Legislative Theory

The National Sharia Council of the Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI) plays a central role in shaping the principles of Islamic economic law in Indonesia through its fatwas. These fatwas serve as primary references in the practices of Islamic financial institutions. However, the legal status of DSN-MUI fatwas within national legislation remains a subject of debate, particularly regarding their binding authority. This article aims to analyze the position of DSN-MUI fatwas from the perspective of Islamic law and legislative theory within the national legal system. This study employs a qualitative method with a normative and literature-based approach, examining various legal regulations and legal theories. The findings indicate that in Islamic law, fatwas are not absolutely binding unless institutionalized by an official authority. In the national context, DSN-MUI fatwas attain functional binding power as they are used as references in regulatory frameworks by Bank Indonesia, the Financial Services Authority (OJK), and Islamic financial institutions. Although these fatwas do not possess formal legal authority within the hierarchy of national legislation, they have become part of the living law that is internalized in national economic legal practices. Therefore, normative reinforcement is needed through explicit recognition in sectoral regulations to prevent legal vacuums. This study recommends the codification of DSN-MUI fatwas into derivative regulations to enhance their juridical legitimacy in supporting a just and legally certain Islamic economic legal system

Transcendental Communication in Suluk Worship and Its Implementation to The Social Life of Worshippers in Dayah Darul Ulum Abu Lueng Ie Aceh Besar

This study examines the implementation of transcendental communication in the Suluk congregation at Dayah Darul Ulum Abu Lueng Ie, Aceh Besar. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, with the main subjects being the leaders and teachers of the dayah who guide the congregation in the Suluk process. Analysis was conducted to understand the spiritual experience of the congregation and its impact on their social lives. The results of the study indicate that transcendental communication in Suluk includes stages such as taharah (physical and spiritual cleansing) and tausiyah (spiritual guidance). Personal guidance from a cleric or mursyid plays an important role in helping the congregation reach a higher spiritual level. This process is carried out through the practice of dhikr and tafakur, which strengthens the vertical relationship with God and forms a positive social attitude. The impact of transcendental communication is not only limited to increasing individual spirituality, but is also seen in strengthening character, social responsibility, social awareness, and the active involvement of the congregation in social and charitable activities. Solidarity within the community also increases as a result of this process. However, several challenges are still encountered, such as limited spiritual understanding of the congregation, lack of continuity of practice, limited involvement of the mursyid, and negative influence of the media. Therefore, a more in-depth educational approach, structured guidance, and wise media management are needed to optimise the impact of transcendental communication in the social life of the congregation.Penelitian ini mengkaji tentang pelaksanaan komunikasi transendental pada jamaah suluk di Dayah Darul Ulum Abu Lueng Ie, Aceh Besar. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif, data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi, dengan subjek utama adalah para pemimpin dan guru dayah yang membimbing jamaah dalam proses suluk. Analisis dilakukan untuk memahami pengalaman spiritual jamaah dan dampaknya terhadap kehidupan sosial mereka. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa komunikasi transendental dalam suluk meliputi tahapan-tahapan seperti taharah (pembersihan fisik dan spiritual) dan tausiyah (bimbingan spiritual). Bimbingan pribadi dari seorang ulama atau mursyid memegang peranan penting dalam membantu jamaah mencapai tingkat spiritual yang lebih tinggi. Proses ini dilakukan melalui praktik dzikir dan tafakur, yang memperkuat hubungan vertikal dengan Tuhan dan membentuk sikap sosial yang positif. Dampak komunikasi transendental tidak hanya terbatas pada peningkatan spiritualitas individu, tetapi juga terlihat pada penguatan karakter, tanggung jawab sosial, kepedulian sosial, dan keterlibatan aktif jamaah dalam kegiatan sosial dan amal. Solidaritas dalam masyarakat pun meningkat sebagai hasil dari proses ini. Namun, beberapa tantangan masih ditemui, seperti pemahaman spiritual jemaat yang terbatas, kurangnya kontinuitas praktik, keterlibatan mursyid yang terbatas, dan pengaruh negatif media. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan pendekatan pendidikan yang lebih mendalam, bimbingan yang terstruktur, dan manajemen media yang bijaksana untuk mengoptimalkan dampak komunikasi transendental dalam kehidupan sosial jemaat

Legal Liability of Health Care Facilities for Leakage of Patient Electronic Medical Records

Electronic medical record (EMR) data breaches have become an increasingly significant issue in healthcare, as the use of digital technology for patient data management rises. EMRs provide healthcare professionals with faster and more efficient access to patient information. However, this convenience also introduces the risk of data breaches, which could harm patients. This article aims to explore the legal responsibilities of healthcare facilities in managing EMR data breaches and the consequences resulting from such breaches. The research employs a qualitative approach and literature review, analyzing various legal regulations, legislation, and case studies of data breaches. The findings indicate that while legal protections exist, there are still significant challenges in implementing effective data security systems in healthcare facilities. Therefore, enhancing oversight, security systems, and legal awareness among stakeholders is essential to prevent data breaches that could cause significant harm to multiple parties

Protection of Press Freedom through Strengthening Law Number 40 of 1999 in The Context of the Enforcement of Law Number 1 of 2023

Press freedom for journalists has become increasingly restricted following the enactment of the National Criminal Code, Law No. 1 of 2023, by the government, raising concerns about the potential criminalization of journalists performing their duties. Several articles in the National Criminal Code (New Criminal Code) have been noted by the Press Council, one of which pertains to the broadcasting or dissemination of false news or information. The term \u27any person\u27 in the relevant article can apply to anyone, including journalists. Meanwhile, responsible and proper press freedom has already been accommodated through a specific law, namely Law No. 40 of 1999. The problem addressed in this study is how press freedom, based on Law No. 40 of 1999, relates to press offenses as regulated by Law No. 1 of 2023. The method used in this study is normative juridical, supported by empirical juridical analysis. The research findings indicate that even before the National Criminal Code was enacted, several journalists, including in the case of Asrul, were criminalized for allegedly spreading false news under the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE Law). There is concern that the National Criminal Code could also be used by law enforcement to target journalists engaged in their journalistic profession. Therefore, revisions to certain articles in the National Criminal Code are necessary to provide exemptions for the journalistic profession, which is protected by the press law, and to establish a specific mechanism to be prioritized in the event of a press dispute.Press freedom for journalists has become increasingly restricted following the enactment of the National Criminal Code, Law No. 1 of 2023, by the government, raising concerns about the potential criminalization of journalists performing their duties.

The Family Business And Inheritance Dispute : A Review Of Legal Solution In Kinship Corporations

Family businesses play a significant role in the economy, especially in developing countries. However, the sustainability of these businesses is often disrupted by inheritance disputes that arise when the founder dies without a clear succession system. Such disputes not only affect business continuity, but also lead to disintegration in the kinship structure. This research aims to examine the legal solutions available in dealing with inheritance disputes in kinship-based family businesses (kinship corporation), as well as to offer relevant legal approaches to ensure the sustainability of family businesses. The research method used is normative juridical with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The data analysis technique is carried out qualitatively with prescriptive-analytical, to assess the effectiveness of legal norms in resolving internal conflicts of family businesses. The novelty of this research lies in the interdisciplinary approach that combines the perspectives of inheritance law, corporate law, and legal sociology to form a holistic dispute resolution framework in family corporations. The results show that the absence of a binding legal structure and formal succession mechanism is the main root of conflict. It is necessary to strengthen internal regulations (internal by-laws), family agreements, and create a more comprehensive legal framework to accommodate the problem of inheritance disputes in family businesses. The recommendation of this research is the establishment of a family governance framework in positive law that regulates succession and ownership portion, as well as strengthening the role of notaries in designing family agreements based on inheritance and corporate law

SINKRONISASI HUKUM UNTUK ALIH FUNGSI LAHAN DALAM PENGEMBANGAN WISATA ALAM

Land use conversion in the context of tourism development particularly nature-based tourism constitutes a strategic issue encompassing legal, environmental, and socio-economic dimensions. This study aims to analyze the extent to which Indonesia’s legal and regulatory frameworks have accommodated the governance of land-use conversion within the framework of sustainable tourism development. The research employs a normative juridical approach by examining statutory regulations relating to spatial planning and land-use conversion. This study is particularly relevant given the increasing strategic importance of environmental policies, including those in Kuningan Regency. One such regulation is Law Number 26 of 2007 concerning Spatial Planning. The findings indicate that, normatively, there is a degree of legal synchronization across various regulations that ensures conformity in spatial utilization with the Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW) and the Detailed Spatial Plan (RDTR), while also incorporating sustainability and environmental protection considerations. Nonetheless, practical challenges persist, including overlapping authorities, weak enforcement mechanisms, and limited public participation. Therefore, there is a pressing need to strengthen both legal structures and the legal culture of society to realize legal certainty and effective protection in land-use conversion for equitable and sustainable tourism development.Alih fungsi lahan dalam pembangunan kepariwisataan, khususnya wisata alam, merupakan isu strategis yang mengandung dimensi hukum, lingkungan, dan sosial-ekonomi.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara normatif telah terdapat sinkronisasi antar regulasi yang menjamin kesesuaian pemanfaatan ruang dengan Rencana Tata Ruang Wilayah (RTRW) dan Rencana Detail Tata Ruang (RDTR), serta memperhatikan aspek keberlanjutan dan perlindungan lingkungan. Meskipun demikian, problematika implementatif masih dijumpai dalam bentuk tumpang tindih kewenangan, lemahnya pengawasan, dan rendahnya partisipasi masyarakat. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan penguatan struktur hukum dan budaya hukum masyarakat, guna mewujudkan kepastian hukum dan efektivitas perlindungan dalam alih fungsi lahan untuk kepentingan pembangunan pariwisata yang berkeadilan dan berkelanjutan
