The practice of divorce without going through a formal court process, commonly referred to as informal or unregistered divorce, remains prevalent in Indonesian society despite clear regulations outlined in Law Number 1 of 1974 on Marriage. This paper aims to examine the legal dimensions of such practices and explore the social and psychological impacts, particularly on children. Findings indicate that divorces conducted outside the legal framework not only violate national laws but also often result in disadvantages for vulnerable parties, especially women and children. In Islamic teachings, while divorce is permissible, it is considered the most detested lawful act by Allah and should only be pursued after all efforts at reconciliation have failed. National legal provisions echo this perspective by emphasizing mediation and the principle of justice as primary steps in resolving marital disputes. This alignment reflects a harmony between religious norms and state law. Therefore, public awareness of proper legal procedures for divorce needs to be enhanced to protect individual rights and preserve family stability. Strengthening legal education and premarital counseling are effective preventive strategies in this regard.  

This research aims to analyze the representation of mental disabilities and the concept of justice in the film Miracle in Cell No. 7 from a gender studies perspective. The film features a main character with intellectual disabilities who is a victim of an uninclusive and patriarchal legal system. The representation of disability in the film shows a combination of empathy and infantile stereotypes that place people with disabilities as objects of pity without agency. Through Stuart Hall's representation theory approach and Crenshaw's intersectionality framework, this research reveals how class identity, gender, and disability shape the main character's subordinate position. The method used is qualitative with a descriptive-analytical approach, where data is analyzed based on symbols, narratives, and cinematic elements in the film. The results show that the film uses emotional strategies to build closeness with the audience, but risks reproducing structural biases against vulnerable groups. Nonetheless, the film still has potential as a medium for social criticism of legal injustice and representational bias in popular culture. This research recommends the need for a more inclusive and humane cinematic approach in depicting people with disabilities and gender inequality.

This study examines the status of Bitcoin and its underlying blockchain technology from the perspective of Islamic law. The research utilizes a qualitative library-based method, analyzing primary sources of Islamic jurisprudence alongside recent academic studies. It explores key Shariah principles such as mal mutaqawwam, maysir, gharar, and riba, in assessing Bitcoin's permissibility. The findings reveal that while Bitcoin's volatility, speculation, and lack of intrinsic value raise concerns under Islamic finance, the asset does not inherently involve interest (riba). Furthermore, the research distinguishes between the controversial nature of Bitcoin and the positive potential of blockchain technology, which aligns with the objectives of maqasid al-shariah, particularly in promoting transparency, financial inclusion, and ethical conduct. The study concludes that while Bitcoin may remain contentious, blockchain offers significant opportunities for Shariah-compliant financial innovation when supported by appropriate regulation and ethical oversight.

This study aims to analyze the policy of digitizing public services at the sub-district level in the perspective of state administrative law. Digital transformation in the public bureaucracy in the modern era is an important step in creating effective, efficient, and accountable services. However, the implementation of digitalization is often not accompanied by an adequate legal framework, resulting in the potential for administrative irregularities and violations of the principles of good governance. Using a normative research approach, this study examines the compatibility of digitization policies with the principles of state administrative law, such as the principles of legality, legal certainty, proportionality, professionalism, openness, and accountability. The results of this study show that the digitization of public services at the sub-district level requires strengthening technical regulations, increasing the capacity of the apparatus, and integrating digital service systems and standards based on legal principles. This research not only focuses on technological innovation, but is also supported by a strong legal foundation to ensure the protection of public rights and the legitimacy of public services.

The current Indonesian legal system recognizes two paths of judicial review, although this division of authority is constitutionally legal, but in practice it raises serious problems. One of them is the inconsistency of decisions between judicial institutions. For example, there is a Supreme Court decision that cancels Regional Regulations that have previously been studied by the Constitutional Court, causing confusion in the application of the law. This not only weakens the principle of legal certainty, but also raises problems in the effectiveness of the judicial system. This study aims to identify the concept of restructuring the ideal regulatory testing mechanism according to the principle of the state of law and the theory of norm hierarchy and analyze the need for restructuring the regulatory testing mechanism in Indonesia from the perspective of legal certainty, justice, and law enforcement effectiveness. The research method used in this study is normative juridical and uses a legislative approach. The results of the study show.  

The development of digital technology has brought various innovations to the financial system, one of which is sharia crowdfunding. As a form of technology-based fundraising based on sharia principles, this mechanism aims to avoid elements of usury, gharar, and maysir which are prohibited in Islam. This article discusses the legal aspects and operational mechanisms of sharia crowdfunding from the perspective of Islamic law and regulations in Indonesia. By using a qualitative research method based on literature analysis, sharia crowdfunding has a strong legal basis through the fatwa of the National Sharia Council-Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI) and the regulations of the Financial Services Authority (OJK). In practice, sharia crowdfunding uses various contracts such as mudharabah, musyarakah, and wakalah bil ujrah to ensure fair and transparent transactions. Although it has promising prospects, challenges such as lack of sharia financial literacy, limited specific regulations, and digital security aspects are still major obstacles in its implementation. Therefore, collaboration between regulators, industry players, and the community is needed to encourage a more inclusive and sustainable sharia crowdfunding ecosystem.

This study aims to analyze gender representation and family dynamics in the Indonesian film Dua Garis Biru (2019), focusing on the roles, responsibilities, and social stigma experienced by teenage characters after an extramarital pregnancy. This research uses a qualitative content analysis method of scenes, dialog, and character development in the film. The study is based on gender theory and sociocultural perspectives to explore how male and female roles are shaped, contrasted, or reinforced. The results showed strong inequalities in the division of responsibilities, with female characters disproportionately bearing the emotional and social consequences. The role of the family, influenced by traditional values and social pressures, largely determines the decisions and autonomy of the teenage couple. The film also reveals the stigmatization of women's sexuality and motherhood outside the institution of marriage, but at the same time shows a change in perspective between generations. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of how contemporary Indonesian cinema reflects and challenges prevailing gender norms and family expectations. The implications of this study are important for educators and counselors in addressing gender bias and stigma among teenagers through media literacy.

This study aims to compare two main theories in modern cosmology, namely the Big Bang Theory and the Steady State Theory, using a descriptive cosmographic approach. This study is motivated by the lack of deep understanding as well as the limited Indonesian literature discussing the fundamental differences between the two theories. By employing a qualitative method through literature review, this research examines the characteristics, advantages, and limitations of each theory based on the latest scientific evidence and cosmographic perspectives. The analysis results show that the Big Bang Theory has strong support from observational evidence, such as cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB), galaxy redshift, and the distribution of light elements, which reinforces the narrative of the expansion and evolution of the universe. In contrast, the Steady State Theory is considered less relevant due to the absence of observational evidence for the creation of new matter and its inability to explain structure and the dynamics of the universe that are currently observed.

The digital era has brought about a major transformation in the way organizations manage and utilize data. Data management is a key strategy in supporting decision-making based on accurate, fast, and relevant information. However, the rapid growth of data volume, diversity of sources, and complexity of data integration and security pose challenges in its management. These challenges include issues of data quality, inconsistency, duplication, and limitations in infrastructure and human resource capabilities. In addition, demands for compliance with regulations such as GDPR and the Personal Data Protection Act add to the complexity of ethical and responsible data management. On the other hand, technological developments such as big data analytics, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud computing present great opportunities to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of data management processes. Organizations that are able to adopt a data-driven approach and apply good data governance principles will gain competitive advantage, accelerate innovation, and improve customer satisfaction. This article comprehensively discusses the challenges and opportunities in data management from a data management perspective, and presents a framework for building an adaptive and sustainable data management strategy in the digital era. With a literature analysis and case study approach, this article aims to provide conceptual and practical contributions for organizations that want to optimize the potential of data as a strategic asset.

The main problem in this study lies in the lack of a deep and comprehensive understanding of child development from the perspective of Islamic psychology, especially in the context of education. In fact, understanding the stages of child development is very important to design appropriate educational approaches holistically. This study aims to explain the definition of child development psychology, identify psychological concepts in Islamic teachings that are relevant to child growth, and analyze how the principles of Islamic psychology can be applied in child education. The method used is library research with a descriptive-analytical approach, which examines various literatures from modern psychology and classical Islamic sources. The results show that Islam provides a strong conceptual foundation in understanding child development, which includes a balance between intellectual, emotional, spiritual, and moral aspects. Educational psychology in Islam also emphasizes the importance of the active role of parents, teachers, and the surrounding environment in shaping children's character and personality. Thus, the integration between modern psychological theories and Islamic values can be a strategic foothold in developing a child education system that is not only academic, but also oriented towards the formation of noble morals and character.

This study aims to examine the practice of elopement (kawin lari) and its legal consequences from the perspective of Batak Angkola customary law, as well as its relation to Law Number 1 of 1974 on Marriage. The research was conducted in Sibangkua Village, Angkola Barat District, South Tapanuli Regency. The method used is an empirical legal approach, with data collected through observation and interviews with traditional leaders, religious figures, village officials, and individuals involved in elopement. The findings reveal that elopement frequently occurs in Batak Angkola society, mainly due to high dowry demands, disapproval of arranged partners, or violations of social and religious norms. The resolution process is carried out through customary stages such as mandokon ulang agoan, marsapa adat, and patibal sere. Although the national marriage law does not explicitly regulate elopement, it is recognized within Batak Angkola custom and has a structured resolution mechanism. Nevertheless, socially, elopement is often viewed negatively and may damage the family’s honor.

The phenomenon of paid nikah muhallil reflects a serious deviation in public understanding of Islamic teachings on marriage. This practice is carried out to circumvent the prohibition of reconciliation after a triple divorce by engineering a temporary marriage through financial compensation. This study aims to examine paid nikah muhallil from the perspective of the Prophet’s hadiths and the urgency of proper Islamic legal socialization. A qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical and takhrij hadith approach was employed, involving library research of primary and secondary sources. The findings show that the hadiths addressing the prohibition of nikah muhallil are authentic (shahih) and well-known (masyhur), supported by various hadith compilations and scholarly opinions. This practice is explicitly forbidden as it contradicts the objectives of Sharia (maqashid syariah) and undermines the moral and spiritual values of marriage. The implication of this study underscores the importance of structured hadith education and socialization to prevent society from engaging in legal manipulation that harms family integrity and Islamic values.  

This article explores the relevance of the contemporary church through the lens of systematic theology by examining the concepts of visibility (the church’s tangible presence) and invisibility (its spiritual and unseen essence). The topic is crucial as many churches today face a tension between their social engagement and their spiritual identity. The central issue addressed in this research is how the church can maintain its theological integrity while remaining visibly active and impactful in an ever-changing society. This study employs a qualitative method using a literature review approach, analyzing theological texts, academic articles, and biblical references to investigate ecclesiological perspectives on integrating visibility and invisibility. The data is analyzed descriptively and reflectively to identify theological patterns and practical implications for the life of the church today. The findings reveal that a relevant church is one that successfully integrates both visible and invisible dimensions. Visibility is essential for contextual engagement with the world, while invisibility sustains spiritual depth and fidelity to Christ. This integration results in a church that is actively present in society, while also rooted in holiness, love, and prophetic mission. The study recommends that churches engage in theological reflection to reassess their identity and ministry to remain relevant without losing their spiritual direction.

As countries located in the Asian region, Malaysia and Indonesia each have their own investment appeal. Over time, many investors have shown a stronger preference for investing in Malaysia rather than Indonesia. This phenomenon is influenced by various factors, making it a compelling subject of study. This research aims to examine the distinguishing factors in the investment appeal of Malaysia and Indonesia, particularly from the perspective of the positive legal systems in both countries. The objective of this study is to understand the legal regulations governing investment in Indonesia and Malaysia and to determine which regulatory framework is more attractive to investors. The research employs a normative juridical method using a comparative law approach. Data were collected from primary legal materials such as legislation and secondary sources such as books, journals, and previous studies through a literature review. The data were then analyzed descriptively and comparatively. The research findings indicate that Malaysia's investment regulatory framework is more attractive to investors compared to that of Indonesia. This is primarily due to the greater stability of Malaysia’s investment regulations and their relatively infrequent sudden changes. Furthermore, Malaysia’s legal system, which is based on common law, offers greater flexibility to foreign investors. The ease and stability of regulations in Malaysia make it a more preferred investment destination. These findings offer valuable input for the Indonesian government to improve its investment regulatory framework.

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Public Internet Program in Tanjungpinang City in supporting digital inclusion. Based on the 2018-2023 Strategic Plan document from the target of 100 points, only 34 public wifi points were realized. The evaluation was carried out using the theory of William N Dunn (2003), using six indicators, namely, effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and accuracy. This research uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation of 12 informants. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of the program has been running but not optimal. This can be seen in the effectiveness indicator where the placement of access points is less strategic, because it is located in upper-class housing which generally already has its own internet access, then the network quality is less stable with the bandwidth provided of 20 Mbps through a scramble system where the ideal standard according to the IT perspective is 2 Mbps per user outside watching YouTube. In the efficiency indicator, from 2013-2023 the realization did not reach the target set at the beginning, then the lack of maintenance resulted in 8 internet points not working. The adequacy indicator has not been said to be optimal in meeting needs through value, opportunity, and method adjustment as evidenced by the fact that there is no national standard as a reference in program implementation and unclear location data collection. In the equity indicator, there is a mismatch in infrastructure facilities, small areas have not been reached, and there is 1 location point that is locked. The responsiveness indicator is good, but there is still low participation from the community. Finally, the accuracy indicator is directed towards the community, but the implementation is not in accordance with the needs, and has not reached the initial target.
