Legal Considerations of Religious Court Judges in Divorce Applications on the Basis of Apostasy

Nasrullah Nasrullah, Logi Farman, Ferdi Aditiya Hidayat

Abstract

Based on the decision of the Religious Court regarding the governance of religious life and strengthening religious moderation regarding divorce cases based on apostasy in Indonesia in 2022, there were 680 cases. And most recently in 2023 there were 4 cases. The Compilation of Islamic Law does not clearly determine the legal consequences of the conversion of one or both spouses, both divorce and marriage annulment. These doubts lead to different interpretations in the realm of judges and their judgments. This study aims to analyze the legal considerations of religious court judges using 4 religious court decisions in 2023 regarding divorce cases based on apostasy. The legal research used is normative legal research, research placing law as a system of forming norms. Doctrinal law research in this study uses a statutory approach, and research sources that are in accordance with the legal issues studied. The results of the study show that although the Compilation of Islamic Law does not emphasize the legal consequences of divorce on the basis of apostasy, religious court judges as legal considerations are not only static based on positive law. But overall legal considerations of judges also use a theoretical approach in Islamic law, principles of Islamic law, the Quran, and books published by Islamic jurists.
