TRADISI OTO’-OTO’; INTEGRASI SOSIAL MASYARAKAT URBAN MADURA DI SURABAYA

Tradisi oto’-oto’ merupakan tradisi khas etnis Madura yang berjalan secara turun menurun, semakin lama semakin banyak pengikutnya dan semakin luas jangkauan wilayahnya hingga di kota Surabaya. Tradisi ini dilaksanakan oleh masyarakat yang berhimpun dalam kelompok organisasi informal. Prinsip dasar oto’-oto’ adalah setiap anggota menyerahkan sejumlah uang kepada yang lungguh (penyelenggara). Jumlah uang yang diserahkan tidak ditentukan besarannya dan uang yang telah diserahkan adalah “simpanan” dan baru bisa dinikmati ketika kelak dia lungguh.  Penelitian difokuskan pada tiga hal, yaitu; Bagaimana pemahaman masyarakat urban Madura terhadap tradisi oto’-oto’; Bagaimana Sistem penyelenggaraannya di tengah-tengah masyarakat urban kota Surabaya yang sangat kompleks; dan bagaimana integrasi sosial masyarakat urban asal Madura melalui tradisi oto’-oto’ tersebut. Melalui tradisi ini masyarakat etnis Madura di Surabaya dapat mengekspresikan eksistensi dirinya dalam masyarakat majemuk. Mereka dapat membangun solidaritas sosial, mengembangkan kerjasama bisnis, serta mampu menjalin integrasi sosial antar etnis Madura maupun dengan etnis lainnya yang ada di kota Surabaya

Resistance Strategies of Madurese Moslem Women against Domestic Violence in Rural Society

Although regarded as weak, helpless and vulnerable for violence, some rural Madurese women are no longer silent and passive in coping with domestic violence they experience. This study aims to identify the survivors’ experiences and choices they made as resistance strategies to reduce or end the violence. The focus was on whether the choices fit with sharia teaching.  The study uses empirical legal research and anthropological theory of law and fiqh approach to analyze data. It finds that women who try to take a dispute resolution process show their active attitude and courage to voice injustice, discomfort or disagreement in their domestic life. Some of their strategies fit with shariah teaching while others do not so.  However anthropologically, their choice to stop the violence is for the sake of maintaining their marital relation. In the legal sub-culture, they have well considered potential profits and losses as well as the needs or interests they want to get.&nbsp

In Search of Ummah Welfare Model: The Revitalisation of Sharia Economic Law in Indonesia

Sharia economic law in Indonesia has been revitalised through legal unification and codification to improve national economic development. In this context, the Sharia economy has become a guideline in every transaction. Therefore, people must understand the Islamic economic concept to create maslahah (goodness) in every aspect of life. Sharia economic law is not a new system, as it has been implemented since the era of the Prophet. However, there is a need for adjustment in the implementation of the Sharia economic law from time to time to enable it responding the current development. This study employs qualitative inquiry, using library research to analyse Sharia economic law's history and legal development. Legal documents used include state laws and regulations, the regulations of the Bank of Indonesia, the fatwa of DSN-MUI, and others. This paper argues that the revitalisation of the Sharia economic law in Indonesia is in line with the efforts made by the predominantly Muslim population to conserve and develop the system. This includes non-legalised and legalised implementation of the Sharia economic system, such as Sharia banking. Furthermore, the system does not contradict the value of Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution’s pillars of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. Sharia economic law, prioritising moral and religious principles, has proven to create maslahah and become a solution to the economic crisis. This was shown by the survival of Sharia banks during the 1998 economic crisis, maintaining the Sharia-standardised contract to create justice in society
