A PROFESSIONAL LEGAL THOUGHTS ON HOUSEHOLD VIOLENCE (KDRT) AND ISLAMIC LAW

Abstract

Recent events demonstrate that there has been an upsurge in physical, psychological, sexual, and neglectful forms of domestic abuse. As a result, the issue of domestic violence requires appropriate legal tools. Law No. 23 of 2004 in particular, a reaction to the concerns of the Indonesian people about the increase of domestic violence that is not particularly addressed in the Criminal Code, regulates the crime of domestic violence (KDRT). The Law on the Elimination of Domestic Violence generally provides for jail and fines as means of punishment, with the severity of the penalty varying according to the act committed and the victim's experience with the law. Law Number 23 of 2004 Concerning the Elimination of Domestic Violence was passed into law.. Islamic law, on the other hand, is a legal framework that puts human values first. Islamic law provides guidelines that are intended to help people and has as its overarching objectives obtaining justice, kindness, gain, and knowledge in life. Islamic law forbids all acts of cruelty and injustice, as well as all types of violence. This idea derives from the conviction that the purpose of Allah's revelation, as it is carried out through the application of Islamic law, is to provide enjoyment, goodwill, and profit to mankind
