While some communities may justify female genital mutilation as a religious practice, there is no religious justification for this, and neither is Islam, the dominant religion in Indonesia. The United Nations has defined female genital mutilation as a harmful practice that can cause physical and psychological harm to women and girls. Moreover, it is also closely linked with violations of the right to freedom of religion or belief. This qualitative research uses a normative approach by analyzing Indonesian laws related to female genital mutilation and its compatibility with international human rights legal obligations. This research describes Indonesia's role in preventing, addressing, and protecting women and girls who have undergone female genital mutilation. The results show that Indonesian laws on female genital mutilation do not comply with international human rights laws, which prohibit all types of female genital mutilation practices. This research suggests that the Indonesian government should take all measures to eliminate the practice of female genital mutilation through legal action, creating binding and gender-perspective regulations and policies. Eliminating female genital mutilation will contribute to achieving gender equality and women's empowerment in Indonesia, as the country's commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals.","PeriodicalId":112685,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Issues on Interfaith Law and Society","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114695288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The implementation of the death penalty is considered inconsistent with the principles of human rights which are principles of international law where countries cannot refuse because of common alignments, namely the right to life. The punishment of m ati raises pros and cons in Indonesian society, some agree with this punishment because the death penalty intends to protect the public interest and not a few oppose it, they argue that the death penalty is contrary to human rights principles. This fact encourages the author to examine the implementation of the death penalty based on human rights and Islamic law, this is because the majority of Indonesians are adherents of the Islamic religion and also because the implementation of the death penalty is still carried out in Indonesia in certain crime cases. To examine this conflict, the author uses a normative juridical method with the conclusion that the death penalty is contrary to human rights because it eliminates the right to life for a person, but the implementation of the death penalty can be justified if the implementation of the death penalty is carried out in order to protect human rights and is also imposed on convicts who commit crimes beyond the limits stipulated in the legislation.","PeriodicalId":112685,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Issues on Interfaith Law and Society","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121084716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although basically the marriage is expected to run smoothly but in unexpected situations and conditions, the marriage can also end in divorce. One of the problems that must be resolved after the married couple divorces is the problem related to the division of common property. Indonesia is a country where most of its citizens convert to Islam so knowledge related to how to regulate common property in marriage according to Islamic Law is important to discuss. This study aims to examine property in marriage with the perspective of Islamic Law. This type of research is normative juridical research with a statutory approach. The results showed that joint property according to Islamic law is that there is property obtained either singly or with the husband and wife during the marriage bond. According to the Compilation of Islamic Law, the division of common property in the event of a divorce, be it a dead divorce or a living divorce, the spouse is entitled to obtain half of the amount of common property as long as it is not otherwise specified in the marriage agreement.","PeriodicalId":112685,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Issues on Interfaith Law and Society","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132889397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is stated in the first amendment to the United States Constitution which reads, \"Congress does not make laws regarding the formation of a religion or prohibit freedom of religion; or restrict freedom of speech, or freedom of the press, or the right to peaceful assembly, and the right to petition for demanded compensation and lodged a complaint with the government.\" Based on the constitutions of the two countries, it is clear that freedom of religion and the right to embrace religion are protected by the state and everyone is obliged to respect the beliefs held.

The right to religion (to embrace and practice worship) guaranteed by the Constitution and other laws is not a right that can be exercised at will. This means that there are certain signs or conditions so that the exercise of that right does not interfere with the rights of other people, the security and order of the community, the state and the nation; in other words, there are restrictions that must be considered by residents. This limitation is in Article 28J paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution in conjunction with Article 73 of the Human Rights Law. Article 28J paragraph (2) stipulates that in exercising their rights and freedoms, everyone is obliged to comply with the restrictions determined by law with the sole purpose of guaranteeing recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and to fulfill fair demands in accordance with moral considerations, religious values, security, and public order in a democratic society.","PeriodicalId":112685,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Issues on Interfaith Law and Society","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121400785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
