Indonesia

Abstract

• Divorce at a young age, where a husband and wife divorce before reaching the age of 26
  has become a social phenomenon that is increasingly worrying in various countries,
  including Indonesia. Qawaidul Ahkam, Islamic Law Guidelines, offers an approach to
  resolving young divorce disputes. This discussion is about the application of Qawaidul
  Ahkam by emphasizing mediation, the principles of justice and kindness of religious
  figures, families, communities and Islamic law.
  Qawaidul Ahkam's approach prioritizes dialogue and peaceful solutions, considering the
  best interests of children and upholding Islamic values. Religious, family and community
  leaders have an important role in providing support and guidance. The application of
  Islamic law must be carried out sensitively and contextually, and prioritize justice and
  humanity. Preventing young divorce requires comprehensive and multi-sectoral efforts.
  Qawaidul Ahkam offers a framework based on Islamic values to help resolve young
  divorce disputes fairly and constructively.
  Based on qualitative descriptive research methods and a sociological normative
  approach, it can be concluded that divorce at a young age is permissible even in Islam.
  If a young couple experiences very severe incompatibility and cannot be resolved through
  mediation or counseling, then divorce can be the final solution.
