Qira’at Diversity in Islamic Family Law Verses: Implications for Indonesian Marriage Law

Mustopa Mustopa

Abstract

This study addresses the principal issue of Qira'at diversity in the Qur’anic verses pertaining to family law and its impact on legal interpretation, alongside its relevance to Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage in Indonesia. The research aims to conduct a thorough analysis of Qira'at variations within family law verses, explore their influence on legal interpretations, and identify key themes that demonstrate this diversity. This study uses a normative juridical method with a descriptive-analytical approach, while the data analyzed is literature related to various Qira'at in the verses of the Qur’an regarding Islamic family law. The research results show that there are eight main themes in the Al-Qur'an related to Islamic family law which show significant variations in Qira'at. Namely: dowry and temporary marriage (mut'ah),muhallil, family interaction, waiting period (iddah), khulu' (divorce initiated by the wife), divorce (talaq), ethics after divorce, and reconciliation (ruju'). Based on the research conducted, it can be concluded that the diversity of Qira’atverses from the Qur’an relating to family law has a significant influence on its interpretation and application, especially in the context of the Marriage Law in Indonesia. The practical implication of this research is to provide readers with in-depth insight into how the diversity of Qira'at influences the interpretation of family law in the Indonesian context, as well as its relevance to the practice of marriage law that applies in the Religious Courts. This research is expected to provide significant theoretical and practical contributions in the field of Islamic family law studies and Al-Qur'an studies in general.
