This research aims to determine the intent of legislation and the constitution regarding interfaith marriages in Indonesia, so that judges can have a deeper understanding of the existing legal intent rather than relying solely on subjective legal interpretations. Additionally, this study also examines the authority of judges in District Courts who play a role in the determination of interfaith marriages. This research is a qualitative-normative study that utilizes legal documents and literature review, including books, journals, reports, and other reliable sources, which are analyzed using legal logic reasoning. Based on the researcher's findings, legal logic reasoning in interpreting legislation indicates that interfaith marriages are prohibited. This can be seen in the constitutional goals of Indonesia in the fourth paragraph of the 1945 Constitution, the Judiciary Power Law in Article 5 and Article 50. The constitutional goals serve as the foundation for every judge's decision. Such decisions not only aim to achieve lasting peace and justice for the parties involved but also for society at large or the majority of the Muslim community in Indonesia. Therefore, interfaith marriages between Muslim women and non-Muslim men

This article aims to uncover stereotypes against lepers and their descendants by impacting difficulties in finding a potential partner and the risk of being abandoned by a potential partner. This clearly cannot be underestimated and is part of the State and non-state actors’ responsibilities in protecting human rights based on Islamic law. This article used ethnography as a methodology of research when dialogue and observation were used as research techniques. This study’s findings revealed that the descendants of lepers were considered a threat to the survival of their descendants, so they got discriminatory treatment, exclusion, stigmatization, exile, and inequality which in turn could interfere with their dignity. The Dhohiri School had a different view out of the four Schools of Islamic law namely Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali, where this School rejected divorce because of disability in any form. Dhohiri School had shown partiality and respect for the human rights of lepers and their descendants to engage in Betrothal and marriage without any discrimination, exclusion, stigmatization, banishment, or inequality of any kind. The alignment of the Dhohiri School is in line with the State and non-state actors’ efforts to minimize the inhumane and terrible treatments of people with leprosy and their descendants.

The Minangkabaunese still carry out the tradition of Pulang ka Bako marriage (marrying the daughter of father’s female sibling) in Minangkabau community, especially in Lasi area. This marriage is considered the ideal type of marriage in Minangkabau. The data sources were obtained from the result of interview with married couples, traditional leaders, and religious leaders.

Besides fulfilling the elements of hifzun nasl (preserving offspring), hifzul mal (managing assets), and hifzul 'irdh (maintaining honor), Pulang ka Bako also fulfills the elements of tahqiqul sakn wal mawaddah wa rahmah (realizing the sense of peace, love, and compassion) and tanzimul janibul mali (managing family finances). It can be concluded that Pulang ka Bako type of marriage has fulfilled the objectives of Islamic law and is capable of being one of the solutions to family resilience issues.

This article aims to elucidate Islamic criminal law's point of view on the existence of crown witnesses in the truth discovery of criminal cases in Indonesia. In fulfilling the shortage of witness evidence, one of the perpetrators of the crime was carried as a case witness in the case. This study uses normative research methods by reviewing books relevant to the problem (Library Research) by tracing, comparing, and analyzing normative doctrinal law through a qualitative approach regarding crown witnesses. This study found that Islamic criminal law requires fairness to be accepted as a witness. If a crown witness is indeed needed as evidence to reveal a criminal case without being accompanied by other supporting evidence, then a crown witness is permitted. Should there is other evidence, the crown witness will be disqualified because the crown witness does not meet fair requirements. The rule of law in Indonesia based on the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) article 185 paragraph 2 states that the statement of one witness is insufficient to prove a criminal case called the principle of unus testis nullus testis (one witness is not a witness). Therefore, there are no other witnesses apart from the crown witness.
