Abstract

Ideally, electronic mediation serves as an innovation to accelerate dispute resolution in Religious Courts, reduce litigation costs, and expand access to justice. In reality, however, its implementation still faces various challenges, including technical barriers, legal uncertainties, and socio-cultural resistance. In Aceh, limited infrastructure and reluctance to accept non–face-to-face mediation become major obstacles. In contrast, Religious Courts in Medan show higher levels of acceptance, although technical limitations and human resource constraints remain significant issues.This study aims to compare the implementation of electronic mediation in the Religious Courts of Aceh and Medan from the perspective of Islamic law, based on the Supreme Court Regulation (PERMA) No. 3 of 2022. The research applies a library-based qualitative method by analyzing legal frameworks, scholarly works, and previous studies. The findings indicate that electronic mediation aligns with the Islamic principle of ishlah (reconciliation), provided it upholds syura (consultation), justice, and public benefit. Strengthening technical regulations, mediator capacity, and digital literacy are essential for its optimization.
