Implementation of Maqasid Syari'ah in the Concept of Reforming the Indonesian Marriage Law Based on Gender Equality: Study of the Counter Legal Draft Compilation of Islamic Law
In 2004 the CLD-KHI Team offered several new ideas in the field of Islamic family law, such as marriage, inheritance (waris), and waqf. The new idea is based on six main principles; pluralism, nationality, human rights, democracy, maslahah and gender equality. However, the existence of this ideas has actually caused various criticisms, appreciations and controversies. For this reason, CLD-KHI as the idea of reforming family law, especially in the field of marriage, really needs to be studied academically with a comprehensive method as an unfinished problem. The main issues examined in this study are the ideas of reforming the marriage law based on gender equality that have been formulated by the CLD KHI team, as well as how to implement maqasid syari'ah in legal reform. The methodology used in this research is a qualitative method, with a normative-empirical-sociological approach. The results of this research show every substance of the idea considers aspect of locality, nasionality, and global ethics. The maqasid approach used in most of the legal provisions is moderate (wasati). In discussion of wali niqah and inheritance, it is adjusted to the context of Indonesian society.
