Reinterpretation Resolution of Nusyuz and Syiqaq in the Qur'an: A Gender Justice and Restorative Approach

Abstract

This study discusses the perspective of the Qur'an in dealing with nusyuz and domestic disputes by highlighting its relevance to the increase in family conflicts and divorce. The study emphasizes the importance of reinterpreting religious texts to be in line with the principles of justice and gender equality. Using literature review and content analysis methods, data was collected from classical to contemporary literature discussing nusyuz and syiqaq. Descriptive-analytical analysis was conducted through an examination of the meaning of verses, historical context, and the views of classical and modern exegetes to explore the relevance of their application to contemporary family life. The results of the study show that the Qur'an offers a gradual, rational, and humanistic mechanism for conflict resolution through advice, separation of beds, and family mediation (tahkim). This approach is not only normative but also adaptive to modern social dynamics, especially regarding the values of justice, equality, and peace. The understanding of nusyuz has also evolved, no longer limited to the behavior of wives, but also including the negligence of husbands in carrying out their moral, spiritual, and emotional responsibilities. This research contributes to strengthening the principles of justice and benefit in Islamic family law and provides practical guidance for religious institutions such as the KUA and religious courts in handling domestic disputes more effectively.
