Traditional marriage in Pulau Buaya Village is not just the union of two individuals, but also a bond between two large families that involves social, cultural, and economic aspects. The traditional marriage customs in this village have significant stages that reflect the values of collectivism and respect for ancestors. However, the majority of the community also adheres to Islam, which has its own legal rules regarding marriage. The interaction between customary law and Islamic law in marriage practices often results in adaptations or acculturation that do not always proceed smoothly. Some traditional customs sometimes conflict with the principles of Islamic law, creating challenges in balancing the preservation of traditions with adherence to religious teachings. This study uses a juridical-empirical method with a qualitative approach. Primary data is obtained through interviews and direct observation of traditional leaders, religious leaders, and couples who have undergone traditional marriages. Secondary data is gathered from literature studies on customary law and Islamic law. The findings show that the customary marriage law in Pulau Buaya Village has been adjusted to Islamic principles, but practices still exist that contradict Islamic law. The implications of this study are the need for an integrative approach in formulating marriage policies that respect cultural diversity while remaining in accordance with Islamic and national legal principles.

In the increasingly developing digital era, cyber law regulation has become a crucial element in maintaining security and order in cyberspace. Indonesia, as a country with rapid technological growth, faces major challenges in responding to global threats in the cyber sector. This study aims to analyze the readiness of cyber law regulation in Indonesia by comparing it to the regulations implemented in the European Union and the United States. A qualitative approach is used with descriptive and normative analysis methods to examine the applicable cyber law policies. The results of the study show that Indonesia still has many limitations in cyber law enforcement, especially in terms of data protection, cybercrime, and coordination mechanisms between related institutions. On the other hand, the European Union already has a comprehensive General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), while the United States applies a sectoral approach with different regulations in each field. This study suggests the need for regulatory reform that is more adaptive and responsive to global threats, as well as increased international cooperation in cyber law enforcement. Thus, Indonesia can be better prepared to face increasingly complex cyber challenges.

This article examines various aspects related to khamar, including its linguistic meaning, definitions, impacts, and the Islamic legal perspective on it. In Arabic, khamar means something that conceals or covers, referring to intoxicating beverages that impair rational thinking. Scholars provide various definitions of khamar, encompassing intoxicants derived from fermented grapes and other substances. From an Islamic perspective, khamar is considered to have more harmful effects than benefits, affecting social, economic, and health aspects. Although the trade of khamar may provide worldly profits, it is deemed contrary to Islamic teachings due to its potential to promote immorality and corrupt morals. The impact of khamar consumption on minors is particularly damaging, affecting their physical and mental health as well as causing broader social repercussions. Islamic legal sanctions against the consumption of khamar emphasize strict prohibition to prevent its use, although specific worldly punishments are not elaborated upon. This study highlights that despite the financial advantages it might offer, the negative consequences of khamar far outweigh its benefits and should therefore be avoided for the well-being of society.

Cooperation between Indonesia and Japan in the automotive industry, particularly through the development of the Toyota Kijang, is an example of strategic collaboration that has successfully supported economic and technological growth. This research aims to analyze the dynamics of this bilateral cooperation, focusing on achievements and challenges in technology transfer, strengthening local industries, and the resulting socio-economic impacts. The research method uses a qualitative literature study that refers to theories of global political economy, mercantilism, international cooperation, and international business. The results show that Toyota Kijang has successfully become a symbol of innovation and economic integration between the two countries. However, dependence on Japanese technology, barriers to technology transfer, and unequal distribution of benefits are the main challenges. To overcome this, it is recommended that technology transfer policies be strengthened, collaboration between the education and industry sectors be made, international cooperation partners be diversified, and investment in green technology research increase. These steps are expected to improve the competitiveness of Indonesia's automotive industry and encourage more sustainable cooperation in the future.

This paper examines the influence of Qatar’s Islamic identity on its policies during the 2022 FIFA World Cup, with a focus on LGBTQ rights. Using a constructivist approach, the study explores how Qatar’s adherence to Islamic principles, particularly Sharia law, shaped its regulations and responses to international pressures.

It also explores the broader implications of Qatar’s policies, reflecting its challenge of balancing traditional Islamic values while hosting a global event. Ultimately, this research sheds light on the complexities of cultural diplomacy and the difficulties nations like Qatar face in navigating conflicting global and local norms.

Metabolic syndrome, encompassing hypertension, elevated blood glucose levels, high cholesterol, and increased waist circumference, is a significant risk factor for frailty in older adults. The FRAIL questionnaire is a screening tool that assesses five components of frailty, enabling early detection for appropriate intervention. This community service program was conducted using the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) method with 93 elderly participants. Health education and screening for metabolic syndrome and frailty were performed using the FRAIL questionnaire. Among the participants, 22.58% were categorized as "Non-Frail," 50.54% as "Pre-Frail," and 26.88% as "Frail." These findings indicate a high prevalence of frailty risk among the elderly population. The FRAIL questionnaire proved effective for early detection of frailty, facilitating preventive interventions such as physical activity, nutritional monitoring, comorbidity management, and psychosocial support. These measures have the potential to sustain long-term health in older adults. The application of the FRAIL questionnaire for the elderly provides significant benefits for managing frailty risk, with a sustainable approach that promotes the well-being of older adults.

In bankruptcy proceedings, the presence of third parties whose assets are made part of the bankruptcy estate often leads to legal conflicts. The bankruptcy estate is a collection of assets managed by the curator to pay off the debtor's obligations to creditors. Problems arise when third-party assets, which should not be included in the bankruptcy estate, are included without a clear legal basis. This research aims to analyze the legal remedies that can be taken by third parties to protect their rights and interests. By reviewing the provisions in the Bankruptcy Law, as well as the prevailing practice, this study demonstrates the importance of verification of assets by the curator prior to inclusion in the bankruptcy estate. Legal procedures such as opposition (verzet) can be taken by third parties to challenge the curator's decision in the commercial court. The findings of this study highlight the need for a better understanding of third party rights and the legal mechanisms in place to prevent abuse of curator authority. It is hoped that this study will provide guidance to third parties in taking appropriate legal steps and strengthening legal protection in the bankruptcy process.

In the era of globalization that is full of challenges, the ability to think critically is becoming increasingly relevant. This research aims to examine how the integration of the trilogy of soul aspects (rasa, cipta, and karsa) in the learning process can foster critical thinking character in the younger generation. Through literature review and case studies, this research will identify learning strategies that are effective in stimulating students' critical thinking skills, as well as analyze their influence on overall character development.
