Abstract

Ideally, Islamic law and positive law in Indonesia prohibit the practice of polyandry as it contradicts the principles of Sharia and Law Number 1 of 1974 on Marriage. However, in reality, cases of polyandry are still found in society, including in Langsa, Aceh, due to low legal awareness and the influence of local culture. This study aims to analyze criminal sanctions against perpetrators of polyandry from the perspective of Islamic law and positive law, as well as to assess the effectiveness of their application. This article is classified as field research with a qualitative approach. The methodology employed is normative legal studies. The research findings show that sanctions for polyandry in Islamic law aim to preserve lineage and family honor, while positive law focuses on protecting the monogamous marriage system. However, the implementation of sanctions is often hindered by social and cultural challenges, as well as weaknesses in law enforcement at the local level. This study provides recommendations to strengthen the synergy between Islamic law and positive law to more effectively prevent the practice of polyandry.
