Summary: | This paper attempts to discuss two things. First, the history of family law reform in the Muslim world. Second, Qasim Amin thoughtful contributions to the process of family law reform happening in the Muslim world. The process of family law reform in the Muslim world is not born out naturally. The reform was born due to the fact that the conventional family law is not in accordance with the challenges of the times. The fundamental purpose of Islamic family law reform is to raise the status of women. Even so, the contribution of Qasim Amin in the process of family law reform happening in the Muslim world can be traced from his idea of social reform project (al-Is}la>h} al-ijtima>i). For Amin, the process of social reform would only be successful if there is a family law has
been updated and brought in line with the demands of the times. The ideas of family law reform, primarily on three crucial themes, marriage, polygamy, and divorce, have been said in Amin’s first work, Tah}ri>r al-mar’ah (1899).
[Tulisan ini mencoba mendiskusikan dua hal. Pertama, sejarah pembaruan hukum keluarga di dunia Muslim. Kedua, kontribusi pemikiran Qasim Amin terhadap proses pembaruan hukum keluarga yang terjadi di dunia Muslim. Proses pembaruan hukum keluarga di dunia Muslim tidak lahir dari
ruang kosong. Pembaruan tersebut lahir atas adanya kenyataan bahwa hukum keluarga konvensional sudah tidak sesuai dengan tantangan zaman. Sedang tujuan fundamental dari pembaruan hukum keluarga Islam adalah untuk mengangkat status perempuan. Pun demikian, kontribusi Qasim Amin dalam proses pembaruan hukum keluarga yang terjadi di dunia Muslim bisa dilacak dari proyek reformasi sosial (al-Is}la>h} al-Ijtima>’i) yang beliau gagas. Bagi Amin, proses reformasi sosial hanya akan berhasil jika hukum keluarga yang ada sudah diperbarui dan diselaraskan dengan tuntutan zaman. Ide-ide pembaruan dalam hukum keluarga, utamanya terhadap tiga tema krusial, perkawinan, poligami, dan perceraian, sudah Amin cetuskan dalam karya pertamanya, Tah}ri>r al-Mar‘ah (1899).] |
