The distinction in the normative character of legal traditions will give an effect of the state different attitude to those traditions. In the case of Islamic law and adat law in Indonesia, we see that although having different basic character in terms of its foundation of legal creation, Islamic law can relatively be closer to the character of the state law, which is uniform and nationally effective. It is clear here that the nationalization of Islamic law built on the basis of its adherents, and not on the tribe, clan, language, or other local denominations, becomes an effective tool for its rapprochement with the state law, which is also nationalized on the basis of citizenship. Thus, although it is not possible to equalize Islamic law and state law due to the sacredness of the religious law, the scope in the efficacy of both laws can be an effective means of legal rapprochement. This is however not the case with adat law. The character of adat law as a local and heterogeneous legal tradition is intrinsically not in line with the philosophy of national law, which is anti-localism and homogeneous. It is just impossible to bring adat law to become an effective law for all Indonesian citizens. As a result, the rapprochement is difficult between adat law and state law.

This paper will discuss the side of the interlegality and interlaw among customary law, religious law and state law in tribal societies in Indonesia, which is focused on the marriage of Sasak people. As an Indonesian local community, the Sasak community has their own local laws in undergoing interactions and social contracts between each other, especially in matters of marriage. Along with the embrace of Islam by the Sasak community, the Islamic law also contributes in decorate every process of the marriage. In addition to the existence of customary law and Islamic law that adorn the marriage of the Sasak community, there is also a modern legal tradition, namely state law. As part of the Indonesian society, the Sasak people cannot escape the great influx of modern legal tradition or national law positivism, which is directly echoed by the state. Departing from this illustration, the discussion in this paper includes: the interlegality between Sasak customary law and religious law (Islamic law); the interlegality between Sasak customary law and state law; and the last is the interlegality among Sasak customary law (local legal order), religious law (Islamic law/Islamic legal order), and state law (state legal order).Tulisan ini akan membahas sisiinterlegalistikantara hukum adat, hukum agama dan hukum negara pada masyarakat kesukuan di Indonesia, yang difokuskan pada perkawinan masyarakat suku Sasak. Sebagai masyarakat lokal Indonesia, masyarakat Sasak memiliki hukum lokal sendiri dalam menjalani intraksi dan kontrak sosial antara satu sama lain, khususnya dalam persoalan perkawinan. Seiring dengan dipeluknya agama Islam oleh masyarakat Sasak, maka hukum Islam pun memberi andil dalam menghiasi setiap proses-proses perkawinan itu. Selain keberadaan hukum adat dan hukum Islam yang menghiasi perkawinan masyarakat Sasak, terdapat juga tradisi hukum modern, yakni hukum negara. Sebagai bagian dari masyarakat Indonesia, masyarakat Sasak tidak bisa melepaskan diri dari arus besar legisme atau positifisme hukum nasional, yang secara langsung digaungkan oleh negara. Berangkat dari ilustasi ini, maka pembahasan dalam tulisan ini meliputi: interlegalistik antara hukum perkawinan adat Sasak dan hukum agama (Hukum Islam); interlegalistik antara hukum perkawinan adat Sasak dan hukum negara; dan terakhir adalah interlegalistik antara hukum perkawinan adat Sasak, hukum agama (hukum Islam), dan hukum negara.

Aceh merupakan salah satu provinsi di Indonesia yang memilki beberapa sistem hukum. Provinsi Aceh dipandang sebagai provinsi yang memiliki status otonomi khusus bercorak multikultural, karena kemajemukan sistem hukum dalam masyarakatnya. Kemajemukan (Pluralisme) sistem hukum di Aceh disebabkan karena adanya keberagaman suku dan penerapan nilai-nilai Agama Islam dalam setiap sendi kehidupan masyarakat Aceh, terutama di bidang penegakan hukum. Keberagaman (Pluralisme) sistem hukum yang hidup dan berlaku di Aceh mendapat kekuatan hukum dan pengakuan dari pemerintah Indonesia dengan disahkannya Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2006 Tentang Pemerintahan Aceh, Sehingga selain berlakunya sistem hukum negara (state law), secara de facto di Aceh juga berlaku sistem hukum adat (adat law), dan sistem hukum agama/hukum Islam (religious law/ Islamic law).

Tension between Islamic legal tradition and the modern nation state’s role in establishing dan reforming law has become the global controversies and conflicts in Muslim countries over the last decades including Indonesia. Since the enactment of Law No.1/1974 on Marriage, then Compilation of Islamic Law (Kompilasi Hukum Islam/KHI) under President Instruction No.1/1991, dualism of the validity of marriage has been arising in Indonesian Muslim society. The dualism has led to ambivalence towards law enforcement among judges of religious courts in dealing with the petitions for the legalization of marriage while the Law restricts the petitions to marriages before the enactment of Law No.1/1974. In this case, judges of religious court have deviated from the state law by granting legalization to marriages occurred after the enactment of Law No.1/1974. Such deviation is known as judge’s discretion. Despite judges of religious courts seem to adhere to the Islamic legal tradition than the State law in the case of legalization of marriage; they have deviated from Islamic legal tradition or state law in terms of the fulfillment of divorced wife’s rights, joint property, custody, and inheritance. Their discretion is merely to provide the justice to the litigants when the application the letter of the law is contradictory to justice. In this way, they have also taken a part in reforming the Islamic FamilyLaw.Keywords: judge, discretion, justice.

In Mataram West Nusa Tenggara, people is lives are regulated on daily basis by religious law, traditional (adat) law and state law. To understand these complex cultural and religious processes as they affect women in particular, I will examine the issue of divorce, also known as sue divorce. This tipe of divorce is socially-sanctioned. I will focus my examination in Mataram, an city of Lombok West Nusa Tenggara. In Lombok society marriage constitutes an important part of the life cycle.  Someone is not considered an adult until marriage.  Marriage is not only united two individual, but also united two families. However this dream canot be realized over the long term.  If family problems arise and  there are no suitable solutions, people may choose to divorce. For instance, if a wife unable to fulfill her obligations as a wife, her husband can divorce her by verbal means alone, according to any of the three existing legal systems (religious customary or state law). By contrast, if her husband unable to fulfill her obligations as a husband his wife can divorce him in only one way by making an application to Islamic Court to do divorce. In marriage available successful couple builds the family that sakinah, mawaddah and warahmah. But then available also that unsuccessful and end with separate or divorce. Separate constitutes a thing that often happens deep good human life divorce the initiating from the husband and also divorce the initiating from the wife, that its cause islamic law puts attention that adequately significant to that thing. It can appear if understand about islamic law, undoubtedly will find both of previous thing and its terminological  islamic law. There is no divorce without started by marriage. But upon that aim not attained, therefore divorce constitutes last way out that must been sailed through. Divorce can't be done but there is grounds which corrected by religion, adat and state law. In islamic law, that divorce grounds experience developing according to social development. Basically islamic law establishes that divorce reason which is wrangle which really culminates and jeopardize the so called soul safety with “ syiqaq ”. Intention is if worried a couple its happening dispute (dispute not only means wrangle among husband or wife can also distinctive principle and opinion) therefore delegate a someone of its husband family and a someone of wife family. And if both of wife and husband will goodness and they can make resolution and look for the solution, but if there are suitable solution wife or husband can do divorce.

The Law

This chapter describes Islamic law. Islamic law is not the law of a single state, but rather a religious law of special importance, whose prominence has increased over the last few decades. It is therefore necessary to distinguish between Islamic law and the law in states with predominantly Muslim populations. The defining characteristic of Islamic law is its religious origin and character. In contrast to all state law, it is based on a God-given text, the Koran. Thus, at its core, it is itself divine in nature, not the product of mankind. This explains its special status and claims, but also its special problem. Meanwhile, the latter body of law is geared toward classical Islamic law to widely varying extents. Islamic law is by no means the only example of religious law, but other bodies of religious law—such as Jewish or canon law—are much less significant in the current times.

This chapter explores in considerable detail differences and similarities between the Islamic legal tradition and international law. It discusses in detail the historical interaction between these legal traditions, their co-evolution, and the academic conversations on this topic. The chapter also addresses the Islamic milieu’s contributions to international law, and sources of Islamic law including the Quran, sunna, judicial consensus, and analogical reasoning. It talks about the role of religion in international law. Mapping the specific characteristics of Islamic law and international law offers a glimpse of the contrasting and similar paradigms, spirit, and operation of law. This chapter identifies three points of convergence: law of scholars, customary law, and rule of law; as well as three points of departure: relation between law and religion, sources of law, and religious features in the courtroom (religious affiliation and gender of judges, holy oaths).

This article discusses about the implementation of mix and interreligious marriages among the Indonesian people of Dayak, Kalimantan and Malaysian people of Muslim Malayu in Sarawak, which is in the boarder of Indonesia-Malaysia. These two of groups live together as one unity of etnic in the boarder area. They are not separated by the boarder of two states. They live in tolerance among the different religions such as Dayak etnic who majority is Christian and Malay who are Muslims. The mix and interreligious marriage are conducted according to adat law, and it is also compatible to Indonesia law which is religious law according to Article 2 (1) and (2) of Indonesian Marriage Law. Therefore, interreligious marriage can’t be conducted formally, but they have interreligious marriage by changing their religious identity to follow the other spouses. For the example, a Christian who wants to marry a muslim and conduct their marriage according to Islamic law which is registed in KUA, he or she must follow the muslim religion, and vice versa.[Artikel ini mendiskusikan tentang pelaksanaan campur beda agama antara orang Dayak, Kalimantan berkewarganegaraan Indonesia dengan muslim Melayu, Serawak berkewarganegaan Malaysia di perbatasan Indonesia-Malaysia. Keduanya hidup bersama sebagai satu kesatuan etnik di daerah perbatasan. Mereka tidak dipisahkan oleh perbatasan dua negara. Mereka tinggal dalam lingkungan yang memegang teguh toleransi antara agama-agama yang berbeda seperti Dayak yang mayoritas Kristen dan Melayu yang Muslim. Perkawinan campur beda agama dilakukan menurut hukum adat dan didasarkan pada hukum Indonesia yang sesuai dengan Pasal 2 (1) dan (2) UU Perkawinan. Oleh karena itu, Perkawinan campur tidak dapat dilakukan secara formal, tetapi mereka memiliki cara dengan mengubah identitas agama mereka untuk mengikuti pasangan lainnya. Misalnya, seorang Kristen yang ingin menikah dengan muslim dan mereka melakukan perkawinan menurut hukum Islam yang dicatat di KUA, seorang calon isteri atau calon suami harus mengikuti tata cara Islam, begitu sebaliknya.]

This article aims to analyze various legal traditions working within the implementation of Islamic law after special autonomy in Aceh. Although Aceh's legal system follows the national legal system derived from civil law, diverse legal traditions still exist. The scope of this study is limited to the interaction of Aceh's legal traditions by taking the construction of juvenile and immoral criminal law and describing the social authorities who also operate the legal tradition to the parties in the case. This study presents the results using a case study model. Data obtained from interviews and documentation, analyzed using an interlegality approach. Based on the results of data analysis, it was found that the dialectic of legal traditions is determined by the role of actors acting as companions for victims to ensure that the rights of victims are not neglected. The traditions of Islamic law, customary law, and laws for protecting women and children are used interchangeably. The effort to combine these three legal traditions was carried out to obtain justice and guarantee the fulfillment of the victim's civil rights, such as the right to continue education, to relieve the trauma caused by the psychological pressure. The amalgamation of legal traditions in Aceh is an effective way to achieve justice for women and children and the construction of new laws to develop a national legal system that favors the interests of victims.

This article discusses Islamic civilians' struggles in gaining recognition of ‘positivization’ of Zakat Law No. 38/1999 and analyzes dynamics of relations between religion and the state in Indonesia. A period of democratic transition from Suharto to B.J. Habibie (Reform era 1998) marked an entry point for a new phase of state juridical recognition to Islamic law. In this paper, the dynamics of political recognition of zakat law are elucidated from a historical-critical analysis. The findings are twofold. Firstly, the zakat law was enacted during B.J. Habibie’s administration, where waves of democratization began. Secondly, the Islamic civilians played an important role in institutionalizing zakat and providing political support for the Ministry of Religion's efforts in proposing Zakat Management Bill (RUUPZ) to the House of Representatives. The state acknowledged multicultural society by adopting their living religious law whose application does not threaten the nation's unity.
