Hak dan Kewajiban Suami Istri dalam Konteks Sosial Kontemporer

Abstrak

This study aims to analyze gender relations in the rights and obligations of husband and wife from the perspective of contemporary Islamic law amid the dynamics of social change in modern society. The development of globalization, cultural transformation, the increasing participation of women in the public sphere, and advances in information technology have influenced relationship patterns within Muslim families, particularly regarding the division of domestic and public roles between husbands and wives. These conditions have given rise to various reinterpretations of the concepts of marital rights and obligations that have traditionally been understood normatively in Islamic law. This study employed a qualitative approach using a library research method. Data sources were obtained from the Qur’an, hadith, classical and contemporary fiqh literature, as well as scholarly works related to Islamic family law and gender studies. Data analysis was conducted descriptively and analytically through normative and socio-contextual approaches to examine the relevance of Islamic law to the realities of modern family life. The findings reveal that Islamic law fundamentally positions marital relations on the principles of justice, responsibility, deliberation, and mutual complementarity. However, contemporary social changes require a more contextual understanding of the distribution of rights and obligations in order to align with the needs of modern families without neglecting the fundamental values of Islamic teachings. This study emphasizes that gender relations based on partnership, proportional equality, and mutual respect can create harmonious families and contribute to the social welfare of contemporary Muslim society.
