Injustice generates various manifestations of aggression, harassment, and inhumane behaviors, including abuse and similar actions. The discussion surrounding violence against women and children is of great interest as it is extensively debated among practitioners. Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO. , academics, and the broader community. This discourse has gained momentum in the context of an era that increasingly prioritizes Human Rights (HAM) without adequately considering or differentiating gender issues. Violence perpetrated against women and children constitutes a heinous act that infringes upon their fundamental human rights. Hence, it is justifiable to label acts of violence perpetrated by the United Nations (UN) against women and children as crimes against humanity. 3 Violence cases pose a significant issue in Indonesia, a developing nation, as they tarnish its reputation in terms of human rights breaches, particularly those targeting women and children. 4 Multiple forms of research exist about violence and the safeguarding of women and children. The research conducted Yusria5. Keumala,6 Fahrurrazi,7 Ali8 demonstrates that instances of violence against women and children persist in many places. Despite the issuance of a Declaration in 1993 aimed at eliminating violence against women, incidences of violence against women and children persist and, in fact, show a tendency to increase. 9 As of May 2023.

According to the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (KemenpA), there were 9,645 reported incidences of abuse and criminal acts against children in Indonesia. This event took place between January and May 28, 2023. Primarily, domestic violence, which refers to abuse that takes place within the home setting, accounts for the majority of incidents involving violence against children between the ages of 3 and 6. The majority of violence against children, approximately 80%, is perpetrated by their own family members. About 10% of such violence takes place in school settings, while the remaining cases involve individuals whose identities are unknown. The counseling facility of the Indonesian Child Welfare Foundation receives reports of 30 incidences of violence from victims on a monthly basis. 11 Approximately 60% of individuals are subjected to mild acts of violence, such as verbal abuse or insults, while the other 40% endure physical or sexual violence. Due to the perceived insignificance of these instances of violence, particularly those involving minors, only a limited number of cases are pursued. Consequently, the need to address the alarming prevalence of violence against women and children necessitates the implementation of strategic measures to ensure their safety and well-being. Kasim, et. , state that legal institutions in Indonesia offer protection for women and children. This includes provisions such as Aoiddah maintenance, muAoah maintenance, joint property rights, and child custody rights for women. Additionally, children receive living expenses, guardianship from the family, and care from the mother. Thus, the law has served as a mechanism for societal regulation through legal institutions, acting as the primary component of the legal framework, which is complemented by other societal factors. This ensures equitable protection for women and children. Similarly, the safeguarding of children is achieved by the implementation of legislation pertaining to marriage. As per Firdaus and Kasim, children are granted their entitlements in the form of financial support. 13 specifically for educational expenses and living expenses.

Regarding the right to employment, minors are not granted the liberty to work until they reach the legal age or adulthood. Hence, the presence of violence directed at women and children can be attributed to the dearth or complete absence of legal and religious instruction inside the family, particularly prior to establishing the familial unit. Rules regulating violence have indeed been established in the Indonesian legislation, yet perpetrators of violence show no hesitation in disregarding them. Increasing understanding of the intersection between law and religion is crucial for mitigating domestic violence, particularly targeting women and children. The objective of this study is to identify an optimal strategy for promptly addressing instances of violence against women and children. This study employs an empirical legal methodology that incorporates both legislative and Islamic law perspectives. 16 Data collection involved interviews and reviews of literature. The participants who were interviewed as sources of information included judges, professors, and community leaders residing in Malang City, located in the province of East Java. The literature data reviewed for this research include of laws and regulations, journals, and legal books. Subsequently, all of this data is examined and evaluated through the lens of the Islamic law. The Urgencies of Legal and Religious Education for Families Cases of violence against women and children in Indonesia continue to be a prominent and widely discussed issue, both within the country and on a global 17 Despite the existence of regulatory regulations, the number of incidents continues to rise annually, with the distressing fact that the violence is perpetrated by those in close proximity to the victims. For example, instances of domestic violence occurring within a marital relationship, commonly referred to as domestic violence.

Number 23 of 2004 on the Elimination of Domestic Violence. 18 According to this law, violence refers to any action directed towards a person, particularly women, that causes physical, sexual, or psychological harm or suffering. It also includes neglecting household responsibilities and making threats, using coercion, or unlawfully restricting someone's freedom within the household. Marriage is a clear and established union between a man and a woman, intended to create a harmonious and enduring family life, both physically and spiritually, under the guidance of Allah the Almighty. 19 The purpose of marriage is for both partners to understand and embrace their shared commitment, ensuring that their household is a safe and nurturing environment. It is crucial to recognize that the purpose of marriage does not involve causing harm to one another or engaging in domestic violence, also known as KDRT. Domestic violence is a widespread issue that can occur in any household, regardless of cultural, religious, ethnic, or age differences between the perpetrator and victim. 20 It is important to note that KDRT is not solely caused by one factor, but rather stems from the complex dynamics within a family relationship. 21 This specificity contributes to the concealment of violence perpetrated by husbands, making it challenging for law enforcement to detect such incidents. Within households, it is predominantly husbands who engage in violence against their wives and children. This is a result of the prevailing cultural norms in the Indonesian society, where husbands are considered the authoritative figurehead of the family, granting them unrestricted power within the household. Consequently, men are able to act with impunity towards women. Furthermore, women and children are expected to submit and obey the head of the family. Presently, the dynamic between husbands, wives, and children in Indonesia remains hierarchical, with husbands assuming control over all aspects of family life, while women are confined to domestic responsibilities. This cultural framework renders women and children susceptible to becoming victims of violence, as they lack agency. Pasal 1 ayat 1 AuUndang-Undang Nomor 23 Tahun 2004 Tentang Penghapusan KDRTAy .

DOI: 10. 22373/sjhk. Domestic violence is the unjust use of power by a husband against his wife, which is a violation of human rights. 23 According to Article 30 and Article 31 of the Human Rights Law, everyone has the right to feel secure and protected from fear, and they should be free from torture, punishment, cruel and inhumane treatments, and any actions that degrade their dignity and status. It is important to note that not only wives, but also children's rights are violated in such cases. The National Commission on Violence Against Women reported the following statistics on sexual violence against women and girls: in 2014, there were 4,475 cases. in 2015, there were 6,499 cases. in 2016, there were 5,785 and in 2017, there were 2,979 cases of sexual violence within domestic or personal relationships, as well as 2,670 cases in the public or community sphere. In 2019, there were a staggering 406,178 cases of violence against women. The 2019 report also highlighted new findings regarding violence against women, including marital rape, incest, dating violence (KDP), cybercrime, and sexual violence against women with disabilities. It is worth noting that while some of these cases may be older, the types of violence are becoming increasingly The domestic violence is explicitly prohibited due to its detrimental impact on the sakinah, or harmony, that is the essence of a marriage. 25 Various forms of violence against women and children can be categorized as follows: . Physical violence, such as being struck with a hand or spoon, being forcefully restrained, choked, or subjected to hair-pulling or head-banging against a wall. Psychological violence, including threats, verbal abuse, disregard for the victim's opinions, social isolation, and demeaning remarks that undermine the status of women. Economic violence, which involves placing the entire burden of household expenses on women . articularly those who work formall. or failing to provide financial support, thereby neglecting the needs of the As societal norms evolve and public awareness of human rights increases, there are additional actions that can be classified as domestic violence perpetrated by husbands against their wives. Firstly, the husband imposes a limitation on the wife's freedom of expression, namely by forbidding her from wearing a specific dress that she desires. Furthermore, inhibiting the wife's ability to realize her own capabilities, such as a husband who prohibits his wife from engaging in Eni Purwaningsih.

Furthermore, it is not unusual to observe in society instances where husbands restrict their wives from engaging with individuals that the wife disapproves of, to the extent that the husband may even instruct the wife to discontinue relationship with her acquaintances. Furthermore, the husband engages in infidelity by inviting other women into their marriage life. Furthermore, there are instances of financial exploitation perpetrated by the husband, such as recklessly spending funds that are intended for the essential requirements of his family members or neglecting his responsibility to provide for his household. There are several factors that underlie violence against women and children, these factors include. Women's economic independence. Typically, women's reliance on males can contribute to violence, although this is not universally true since women's autonomy can also result in violence inflicted upon them by men. Women labor. Women who engage in employment outside of their homes may be at an increased risk of experiencing violence, particularly due to male . Male infidelity and remarriage with other women can lead to violence against women. Another factor that might contribute to violence against women is . interference from third parties. Family members, particularly mothers-in-law, might interfere and contribute to men's tendency to conduct violence against women. A lack of comprehension of religious beliefs can also be a factor leading to violence against women. Erroneous interpretation of religious doctrines can lead to domestic violence against women. Male behaviors, when men engage in repeated acts of violence against women, it normalizes such behavior. Furthermore, there are underlying factors contributing to domestic violence, particularly against women and children, which stem from a lack of education regarding law and religion as a solid basis for appropriate actions and Despite the existence of laws addressing this issue, it appears that they have not effectively deterred perpetrators from engaging in violent behavior. Isroqunnajah, the Syuriah Nahdlatul Ulama Malang, believes that it is essential to provide children with both legal and religious education from a young Failing to do so will have negative consequences for parents, as the behavior and character of children are shaped by their upbringing. Consequently, if children are not properly taught these values during their formative years, they may mistreat their own children or women when they become adults. According to Khoirul Anam, a lecturer at the Faculty of Sharia UIN Malang, religious and legal education is important for promoting legal awareness in the society. This is because religious and legal education not only focuses on cognitive aspects, but also emphasizes the philosophy of education itself, which Fathul Djannah. Kekerasan Terhadap Istri, p.

DOI: 10. 22373/sjhk. plays a crucial role in shaping individuals' understanding of religion and law in their daily lives. 29 Therefore, the role of parents in imparting legal and religious education to their children is highly significant. Ensuring the Safety and Well-Being of Women and Children According to the Islamic Law Allah SWT has created humanity on Earth with two distinct genders, namely women and men. The Qur'an contains several verses that elucidate the shared origin and purpose of women and men in life. Allah SWT created humans to serve as caliphs on Earth, and this responsibility is not exclusive to men. women also have a significant role to play. Therefore, both genders bear the weighty responsibility of safeguarding the Earth from harm. Men and women are the genders given by Allah SWT to the inhabitants of this earth. The existence of differences in male and female sexes has consequences in terms of differences in sex and its function. Men have reproductive organs such as penis, sperm sac and sperm. While women have differences in the vagina, ovaries, egg cells, uterus and prolactin hormone. Different genitals in men and women make both have very different reproductive In men, they experience wet dreams and women experience menstruation and pregnancy, then give birth, then postpartum and after that Wet dreams are experienced by men within 5 minutes, but for women they experience them every month . and after marriage they experience 2 years and 9 months . regnancy, childbirth and breastfeedin. Therefore, the differences that occur are only related to the type and function of sex. Furthermore, men and women in the public and domestic spheres have the same rights and obligations. If women have obligations in household matters and child care, then men also have the same role. Differences in biological experiences in women should be considered for existing regulations. Emphasizing attention to women who are experiencing biological experiences is important as an effort to realize true justice. True justice is a form of justice given to men or women according to their respective needs, which do not have to be the same. True justice can be realized by paying attention to two things, namely whether the biological experience felt by women is not painful? And in the assumption of goodness, can women be assured of not experiencing five social experiences . tigmatization, marginalization, subordination, violence and double burde. This has actually been stated in existing laws and regulations. Interview with Khoirul Anam, the lecturer at Universitas Islam Negeri Malang. April 16. Junaivan Alamona.

These rights encompass inheritance from their parents, access to education, and the entitlement to receive emotional, physical, and spiritual support, as well as clothing and housing from their husbands when they have a In the event of divorce, women have the right to receive financial supports, known as sustenance, as well as other provisions such as iddah, pastau, and mut'ah, and even reasonable clothing from their former husbands. 31 These legal provisions aim to protect women by ensuring the fulfillment of their rights. Protection for women and children is not only governed by laws and regulations, but it is also regulated in the Islamic law. According to Islamic teachings, children hold a unique position as they are considered a trust from Allah to parents, society, nation, and state. They are seen as heirs to the teachings of Islam, which are believed to bring prosperity to the world as rahmatan lil In Surah an-Nisa verse 9. Allah SWT emphasizes the importance of parents ensuring the well-being of their future generations. AoLet the guardians be as concerned for the orphans as they would if they were to die and leave their own helpless children behind. So let them be mindful of Allah and speak equitablyAo. This verse highlights the need for parents to raise mentally and spiritually resilient individuals who can effectively tackle life's challenges. Parents serve as role models for their children and should demonstrate exemplary behavior in all aspects of life. It is crucial to instill spiritual values from an early age and reinforce them through consistent practices. According to Wahbah al-Zuhaili, children's rights encompass five essential aspects: . ersonal identity-lineag. radha` . are and maintenanc. rovision of sustenanc. Hadhanah, which includes care, maintenance, and protection, is one of the ways to safeguard children, in addition to ensuring their identity, breastfeeding, guardianship, and provision of sustenance. This form of child protection is tailored to the child's developmental stage. Furthermore. Wahbah al-Zuhaili emphasizes that the implementation of walayah occurs after the hadhanah phase. Currently, families who have resilience are needed to filter all forms of negative influences that can endanger the future of children. Various problems among the younger generation occur because of the weak defense of the family. Abidin Nurdin, "Mut'ah and Iddah: Post-divorce Payment Practices in Aceh," in John R.

Children become victims of broken homes, divorce of both parents, lack of religious education, lack of parental attention and others. Even until now the vulnerability of women and children as objects of violence seems to have not been Various aspects such as legal, economic, and social aspects of the society do not support the resolution of this problem, and they still position women and children at the lowest level. Therefore, case management efforts to realize this protection of women and children is one of the systematic and strategic steps to achieve this goal of building protection arrangements for the welfare of women and children. In the study of Islamic law, it does not specifically discuss child protection, but the discussion of fiqh focuses on the care of children, which is known as the term "hadhanah" which means caring for and educating someone who is not yet mumayyiz or who has lost their intelligence because they cannot fulfill their needs. 35 Because there are several principles of nature in child protection, among them first, a child cannot possibly fight alone. The role of children as assets and also the successors of the future of the nation and religion, it is very necessary to protect their souls and dreams. However, children cannot protect themselves and their rights individually, so that families, communities and the state have the right to maintain the quantity and quality of Indonesian children.

Third. Cross-Sectoral, because child protection is a struggle that requires cooperation and attention from across sectors in all elements of Islamic jurisprudence scholars agree that the law of caring for and educating children is obligatory because if children who are still young are not mumayyiz, are not cared for and educated properly, it will have bad consequences for them. It can even lead to the loss of their lives. Therefore, they must be well cared for and educated. There are several areas in child protection that still require improvement in terms of cultural understanding and provision of appropriate It is important to recognize that each child has unique needs, and sometimes families and communities fail to meet these needs adequately.

Furthermore, children play a significant role in shaping the social and political landscape of a nation, and they serve as a reflection of the nation's overall condition. 37 If a nation has a high number of malnourished children, it indicates a failure in fulfilling its duty as a Conversely, if a country has a population of intelligent, well-educated, and healthy children, it is considered successful in achieving fundamental humanitarian goals. The duty to safeguard applies universally and at all times, irrespective of the parents' socioeconomic status or vital status. In Islamic jurisprudence, if parents are unable to fulfill their parental duties, the responsibility automatically transfers to their guardians. The principle of child protection, as a means of fulfilling both tangible and intangible rights, holds paramount significance. The intangible aspect of child protection, known as hadhanah, places absolute accountability on parents or guardians for the children under their care. This sense of responsibility encompasses the fulfillment of the duty to safeguard, nurture, and provide emotional support to children holistically. The Consequences and Remedies for the Absence of Legal and Religious Education for Families Education is a deliberate and conscious endeavor to enhance one's development in all areas of life. It is an integral part of everyone's life and aims to bring about behavioral changes in individuals and groups, ultimately helping them attain maturity through teaching and training. 39 The primary source of education is the family environment, which includes character education influenced by religion and societal laws. The prevalence of violence against women and children is on the rise, driven by the advancements of the modern era and the widespread access to This is a pressing issue that needs to be addressed. It is crucial for parents and immediate family members to instill a comprehensive understanding of religion and law in young children, as this will significantly impact their future 40 By providing legal and character education aligned with their religious beliefs from an early age, children can develop critical thinking skills in their physical, intellectual, and social growth, which is particularly rapid during Hasbi Umar And Bahrul MaAoani.

Therefore, learning and education, both in terms of character and environment, play a significant role in shaping their development at this crucial Religion is one of the most important factors in the family, the existence of beliefs and family guidelines is a strong foundation in establishing marriage, the current phenomenon that often occurs is early marriage in various regions in Indonesia, especially rural communities. Early marriage is a phenomenon that is closely related to the socio-cultural and religious values that apply in the society. In the Indonesian context, marriage tends to be viewed as a social obligation rather than as an expression of individual free will. In general, it can be assumed that in a society with a traditional relationship pattern, marriage is considered a "social necessity" that is part of the tradition and is considered sacred. On the other hand, in a rational modern society, marriage is considered more of a social contract, so that marriage is often seen as a choice. This traditional view of marriage as a social obligation seems to have a significant role in the phenomenon of early marriage that occurs in Indonesia. 41 The lack of education on the meaning of marriage and building a family becomes a very fatal interpretation when only partially understood. The result is a lot of divorce, violence against women where there is a lack of religious education in the family environment. Differences in roles between women and men can be caused by biological or gender differences. The theory of "nurture" or environmental education sees these differences as the result of cultural and societal constructions that provide the view that men are superior to women. The lack of women's biological structure causes them to be placed in a marginal position in the society. Women are often considered to have lower physical strength, are weaker, and more emotional, so they are considered only suitable for soft work such as household chores, caring for children, and so on. Social relationships are also often based on the size of men, so women are considered to have no right to carry out such relationships. a result of these differences, women are often left behind in their roles and contributions to family life, society, nation, and state. Social construction places women and men at different social values. This gender construction has existed and formed for centuries, forming a culture that is passed down from one generation to the next. Social learning theory explains that our behavior is greatly influenced by interactions with others. This theory argues that sexual behavior, for example, can be learned without having to experience it directly, but through observing other people and other events. For example, if we see someone being punished for having premarital sex, we are likely to avoid doing the same behavior because of the influence of that In the context of sexual assault in general, this theory highlights Faridatul Jannah and Umi Sumbula.

Religious education is also not enough when we are faced with many problems in the family, so there is a need for legal awareness. Legal awareness refers to the awareness of individuals or groups of people regarding the rules or laws that apply. It is important for a family to have a high level of legal awareness, because it aims to achieve order, peace, tranquility, and justice in relationships between people. Without an adequate level of legal awareness, this goal will be difficult to achieve. The impact of a lack of legal awareness is that it causes discomfort and insecurity in family and community life. Therefore, it is important for us to develop an attitude of legal awareness. Isroqunnajah also mentioned that legal awareness does not just come, but needs to be formed, the proverb says that a child is like a Javanese person who is not far from his parents so. Javanese Buddhism says that if a person dies, the child is like a pole, so how is his child, that how his parents are and because of that, if parents want their children to be good, they must be able to be good first and teach goodness to their children. Legal awareness education should commence at an early stage, particularly within the family setting. Each member of the family should undergo training to comprehend their rights and obligations towards the family, as well as to respect the rights of other family members. By instilling legal awareness within the family, individuals will become more adept at applying it in broader contexts, including the community and even the state. Soerjono Soekanto outlines several specific guidelines for legal awareness, referred to as indicators. The first indicator is legal knowledge, which entails understanding that certain behaviors are governed by written or unwritten These behaviors encompass actions that are either prohibited or permitted by law. The second indicator is legal understanding, which involves having knowledge and comprehension of specific rules. For instance, individuals comprehend the nature and significance of Law Number 1 of 1974 regarding Marriage. The third indicator is legal attitude, which pertains to a person's inclination to evaluate the law. This encompasses an individual's perspectives or opinions on the law. The fourth indicator is legal behavior, where individuals or society as a whole adhere to applicable regulations. This encompasses tangible actions taken by individuals or groups to comply with existing laws. Religious and legal education within the family setting exert a substantial influence, necessitating our proactive preparation in terms of mental and material readiness before embarking on starting a family.
