2024-01-06T07:59:24+07:00

This study investigates the significance of feminism in promoting gender reform in the context of progressive Islam, using library research with a holistic literature analysis. Through careful review and comprehensive synthesis of related literature, the study aims to understand the evolution of the concept of feminism in progressive Islam as well as its impact on gender reform efforts. The results confirm that gender equality in progressive Islam can strengthen the feminist movement by providing a solid foundation for inclusive social change. The positive impact of the feminist movement in this context is evident through the changes that have taken place, especially in the empowerment of women and the increase in public awareness of gender issues. However, challenges, including resistance from conservative groups and solid social norms, suggest that gender reform is a long journey that requires sustained commitment and solid cooperation from various parties. In addition, the importance of the role of youth, inclusive education, supportive legal and policy changes, and active community participation are critical factors in achieving greater gender equality in a diverse Muslim community.

2024-01-07T21:31:29+07:00

This article aims to examine the patriarchal culture in the Marriage Law No.1 of 1974 and how gender relations and law strengthen gender equality in the context of marriage and family in Indonesia. This regulation is considered gender biased because of legal norms that are influenced by the patriarchal system. The Marriage Law states that a husband is obliged to protect his wife. Meanwhile, the wife is positioned as a companion and complement. This patriarchal concept has led women to stereotypes, subordination, marginalization, and domestic violence. The research method is a literature review to listen to women’s voices and examine articles (regulations) considered gender biased from a gender perspective, namely indicators of justice (access, control, participation, and benefits) and gender injustice (subordination, discrimination, stereotypes, double/multiple burdens, and marginalization). The research results show that the patriarchal culture is implied in Law no. 1 of 1974 (Article 7 Paragraph (1) implies Subordination, Article 3 paragraph (2) implies Discrimination, Article 4 paragraph (2) letters a, b, and c implies Discrimination, Article 31 paragraph (3) implies Subordination and Double/multiple burdens, Article 34 paragraph (1) implies marginalization and subordination, and Article 34 paragraph (2) implies subordinate and double/multiple burdens). Furthermore, Articles 2, 34, and 41 are considered to contain subordination (degrading women), which state that all men can automatically become heads of families who, in terms of work, are able to support their families. Meanwhile, the gender approach believes that the head of the family is a man or woman who has the power and ability to provide for their family. The conclusion is that reformulation of the Marriage Law is needed to increase the importance of a culture of gender equality in a long-lasting and happy marriage. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the new norms from a gender justice perspective to improve the lives of Indonesian people.
