Furthermore. Paragraph . emphasizes that counseling must uphold privacy and confidentiality, and should be conducted by competent medical professionals, health workers, counselors, or trained peer counselors. This regulation, signed by President Joko Widodo, has sparked controversy. Critics fear it may be interpreted as state endorsement of premarital sexual activity among youth . News, 2. The debate has become polarized. Proponents argue that the policy aims to protect adolescent reproductive health and mitigate the risks associated with early sexual Opponents, including the Head of MUI Makassar. Sheikh Anre Gurutta Baharuddin, contend that while the policy may prevent pregnancy, it does not address the root issue of zina . Similarly. Member of the House of RepresentativesAo Commission IX. Netty Prasetiyani Aher, warned that the policy could be misconstrued as a legal endorsement of teenage sexual behavior (EMediaDPRRI, 2. Article 103 Paragraph . letter e has drawn criticism due to its perceived endorsement of adolescent sexual activity. However, the Ministry of Health clarified that the regulation targets adolescents in early marriages, not those engaging in premarital sex. It aims to provide contraceptives to married adolescents categorized as being within the reproductive age group (Pasangan Usia SuburAiPUS). While the wording of the regulation clearly outlines reproductive health services, including contraceptive provision, public backlash has been Critics argue that unlike in Western countriesAiwhere such practices are normalizedAithe same approach cannot be accepted in Indonesia, a country grounded in religious and moral values, particularly those reflected in the first principle of Pancasila: belief in the One and Only God (Rasyid, 2. An Islamic Political Jurisprudence Analysis of Reproductive Health Services under Article 103. of Government Regulation No. 28/2024 ic53 Contraceptives are devices designed to prevent or delay pregnancy by obstructing They also play a role in preventing the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STI. Various contraceptive methods exist, some of which function hormonally, while others serve as physical barriers. Certain types even offer protection against viral, bacterial, and parasitic infections acquired through sexual contact (Lim. Pangaribuan, & Salvirah, 2. From an Islamic perspective, contraceptive use is discussed under the concept of Aoazl . oitus interruptu. According to Sheikh Taqiyuddin an-Nabhani in Nizhamul IjtimaAoiy fil Islam, contraception is permitted for married couples. However, if there is a strong suspicion . halabatuzh-zha. that contraceptives are being used to facilitate unlawful sexual activity . , which is explicitly forbidden in Islam, their use becomes impermissible. In this light, providing contraceptives to unmarried adolescents is considered haram . , as it contradicts the objectives of lawful marriage. In Islamic teachings, sexual relations outside of marriage are regarded as a major sin. As stated in the QurAoan: "Do not approach adultery, for it is truly an indecent deed and an evil way" (QS al-IsraAo: . Contraceptives Contraception refers to measures taken to prevent or inhibit the meeting of a mature egg cell and sperm cell, which generally leads to pregnancy. Pregnancy typically results from the fertilization of an egg by a sperm cell. Therefore, contraceptives are used to prevent pregnancy among sexually active individuals who are fertile and do not wish to conceive. essence, contraception is an effort to avoid pregnancy, either permanently or temporarily. School-Aged Children and Adolescents School-aged children are generally categorized as individuals aged 6 to 18 years, encompassing both primary and secondary education. Children aged 6 to 12 years typically attend primary school, while those aged 13 to 18 attend junior and senior secondary schools. The National Population and Family Planning Board (BKKBN) defines adolescents as individuals in the transitional phase between childhood and adulthood, which involves a series of developments preparing them for adult life. This group includes those aged between 10 and 24 years who are unmarried. Free Social Interaction Among Adolescents Unrestricted or AufreeAy social interaction among adolescents has become an increasingly concerning phenomenon in modern society. It refers to social behavior in which adolescents engage in romantic or sexual activities without the bounds of marriage or serious commitment. A notable consequence of such behavior is its association with nightlife and entertainment, which often includes drug use. These risky behaviors can lead to the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STI. , including HIV/AIDS, and may negatively impact various aspects of an adolescentAos life. This social trend among youth warrants serious attention due to its implications for their moral and behavioral development. As the future of a nation lies in the hands of its youth, their quality and direction will significantly influence the countryAos progress or decline (Government of Kulon Progo Regency, 2. 54 ic Al Ushuliy: Jurnal Mahasiswa Syariah dan Hukum, 4 . , 2025, 51-60 Public Policy Theory: Article 103 Paragraph . Letter e of Government Regulation No. In an official statement quoted by InfoPublik on August 7, 2024. Ministry of Health spokesperson Mohammad Syahril stated that reproductive health education should include contraceptive use. He emphasized that contraceptives are intended for adolescents who are already married and wish to delay pregnancy until they are financially or medically ready. further warned the public against misinterpreting the regulation. The forthcoming Ministerial Regulation will include detailed provisions derived from this government regulation (Birokrasi, 2. Vice President K. MaAoruf Amin also clarified that this policy applies only to adolescents who are legally married. He acknowledged that the wording of the regulation is open to multiple interpretations due to its lack of explicit age and marital status restrictions, potentially leading to public misunderstanding. The Vice President also stressed that regulations should align with Islamic principles and must not alter what is considered lawful . into unlawful . , or vice versa (Wapresri, 2. Justice Theory and Protection of the Rights of School-Aged Children and Adolescents Reproductive health rights for adolescents encompass several crucial aspects aimed at ensuring their well-being, safety, and comprehensive protection. These rights extend beyond physical health to include mental and social well-being. Among the fundamental rights is the right to live with a standard of health that protects them from premature death, sexually transmitted infections (STI. , and health complications arising from early pregnancies. Since adolescent bodies are still developing, early pregnancies can result in severe medical Therefore, ensuring access to accurate information and healthcare services is vital to protect adolescents from preventable health risks (Viryadi & Yunita, 2. Theory of Maslahah (Public Interes. : Article 103 Paragraph . Letter e of PP No. 28/2024 Imam Al-Ghazali emphasized that maslahah . ublic interes. must align with the objectives of sharAoah, even if it contradicts personal desires. This is because what people perceive as beneficial may often be driven by personal interests rather than divine guidance. For example, during the pre-Islamic era (JAhiliyya. , women were denied inheritance rights, which society then regarded as a form of maslahah. However, such practices were contrary to sharAoah and thus invalid. According to Al-Ghazali, the true measure of maslahah lies in its accordance with divine intent and not with human desires. Any act or policy must therefore serve the objectives of sharAoah to be considered a legitimate public good. Fiqh Siyasah (Islamic Political Jurisprudenc. According to Zainuddin Ali, the term fiqh (Islamic jurisprudenc. linguistically means understanding or knowledge. Historically, it referred to religious knowledge encompassing faith, ethics, and practical worship . bAda. , aligned with the concept of Islamic law (SharAoah IslAmiyya. The term siyasah originates from the word sAsa, which refers to governance, political wisdom, and regulation. Thus, siyasah involves political policy and regulation aimed at managing societal affairs to achieve certain objectives.

This legislative power is complemented by executive . l-sulah al-tanfdhiyya. and judicial . l-sulah al-qasAAoiyya. authorities in an Islamic governance framework. According to Muhammad Iqbal . , fiqh siyasah enables the Islamic government to establish laws that regulate public affairs, provided these laws are consistent with the QurAoan and Sunnah and serve the overarching goal of public welfare.

Results and Discussion The Background Behind the Formulation of Article 103 Paragraph . Letter e of Government Regulation No. 28 of 2024 The Phenomenon of Premarital Relations Among Adolescents In contemporary society, the phenomenon of casual sexual behavior among adolescents has become increasingly alarming. This is characterized by sexual activity conducted without marital commitment or binding agreements (Devy, 2. Premarital sex refers to consensual sexual activity between individuals who are not legally married. A survey among high school students found that 41. 2% had engaged in sexual activity, 33. 1% were sexually active, and 43. 1% admitted to not using condoms during intercourse. In Indonesia, further research revealed that 5. 1% of adolescents admitted to having engaged in sexual activity, with curiosity being the most common reason . %). This behavior places them at high risk for sexually transmitted infections (STI. , including HIV/AIDS, primarily due to a lack of proper knowledge about sexual health and prevention strategies (Hacantya Yudanagara, 2. The Rise in Teenage Abortions 56 ic Al Ushuliy: Jurnal Mahasiswa Syariah dan Hukum, 4 . , 2025, 51-60 Data from the Guttmacher Institute . indicated that 3. 7% of women aged 15Ae49 experienced unwanted pregnancies resulting in abortion, equivalent to 37 abortions per 1,000 A 2022 study by Nurhafni found that 95% of 405 unplanned pregnancies occurred among adolescents aged 15Ae25. A case study in Bandung revealed that 20% of adolescents reported having engaged in premarital sex. Alarmingly, of the 2. 5 million estimated abortion cases in Indonesia, 1. 5 million involved teenagers. These statistics highlight the severity of the issue, especially among school-aged youth. The Escalation of Marriage Dispensations Data from the West Java Religious Court noted 8,312 applications for marriage dispensation in 2020, 6,794 in 2021, and a rise to 8,607 by the third quarter of 2022. According to Abdul Hadi Wijaya. Deputy Chair of the Regional Parliament Commission X, stakeholders must act to curb early marriage. West Java Provincial Government reported 5,523 underage marriages in 2022. The majority were prompted by unplanned pregnancies. Iin Indasari of the DP3AKB stated that 5,523 out of 5,777 dispensation requests were granted by the courts, reinforcing the correlation between premarital sexual activity and early marriage. Fiqh Siyasah Perspective on the Provision of Contraceptives to School-Age Children and Adolescents Family planning, or tahdd al-nasl, refers to the regulation of birth in alignment with Islamic principles. According to the fiqh maxim: Ai E U ooA,A a A "Al-al f al-ashyAAo al-ibAuah uattA yadulla al-dall AoalA al-taurm" "The default ruling on things is permissibility unless there is evidence that forbids it. Islam generally allows family planning, especially when grounded in health, economic, or social concerns (Zuhdi, 1. However. Islamic law strongly forbids permanent sterilization or abortion unless there is a dire necessity. The permissibility of using contraceptives is contingent on marital status and intention. For married couples, contraceptives are allowed to prevent pregnancy under certain circumstances. In contrast, their use by unmarried adolescents is considered haram . as it may facilitate zina . , a grave sin in Islam: AuAnd those who do not invoke with Allah another deity or kill the soul which Allah has forbidden except by right and do not commit unlawful sexual intercourse. Ay (QS Al-Furqan: . Conclusion Based on the findings of this research, the following conclusions can be drawn: The Background Behind the Enactment of Article 103 Paragraph . Letter e of Government Regulation No. 28 of 2024 is driven by several contributing factors. First, the widespread phenomenon of premarital sexual activity among adolescents, many of whom engage in such behavior while still attending school and before entering legal marriage. Second, the alarming rate of abortion among teenage girls aged 15Ae19, who experience unwanted pregnancies resulting from such relations. data suggests that of the 2. 5 million abortion cases in Indonesia, approximately 1. 5 million are committed by adolescents. Third. An Islamic Political Jurisprudence Analysis of Reproductive Health Services under Article 103. of Government Regulation No. 28/2024 ic57 the rise in marriage dispensations is also linked to the increasing number of teenagers seeking to marry due to premarital pregnancy, with most of these marriages being initiated as a result of unplanned conception. The Government of Indonesia, through various regulatory initiatives, has acknowledged the urgent need to safeguard adolescent sexual and reproductive health, particularly for those at risk of exposure to sexually transmitted infections (STI. , including HIV/AIDS. The use of contraceptives is viewed as a means to mitigate these risks for adolescents already engaging in sexual activity. Thus, the state justifies the provision of contraceptives for school-aged children and adolescents as part of its broader reproductive health protection strategy. From the Perspective of Fiqh Siyasah (Islamic Political Jurisprudenc. , the permissibility of contraceptive use depends upon the marital status of the adolescent. Contraceptive use to manage fertility is considered mubah . for legally married couples, especially in circumstances involving health concerns or economic limitations. However, for unmarried individuals, such usage is deemed haram . , as it could be exploited to facilitate or justify illicit sexual relations . , which is categorically prohibited in Islamic law. Therefore, in Islamic jurisprudence, the use of contraceptives outside the bounds of marriage does not align with the ethical objectives . aqAid al-sharAoa. of preserving lineage and morality. Additionally, the National Population and Family Planning Board (BKKBN) of Indonesia stipulates that contraceptives are to be provided only to legally married couples or individuals diagnosed with HIV/AIDS, in accordance with medical recommendations. This approach aims to strike a balance between public health concerns and religious values in regulating adolescent reproductive behavior. References
