The objective of the study is to identify the need to strengthen the Family Support Division (BSK) on alimony among Muslim women in Malaysia. In this qualitative analysis study, four of the highest-ranking members of the Department of Syariah Judiciary Malaysia (JKSM) and one expert from academic areas were interviewed in depth using a set of carefully selected questions that correlated with the objective of the research. The recorded interview material was then verbatim transcribed and coded with Nvivo software version 10. Several factors that prove the need for strengthening the Family Support Division (BSK), are the husband's failure to pay alimony, a lack of data exchange with other organizations in Malaysia, the increasing number of family law cases, and procedural issues in the Syariah Court. This article recommends that a more comprehensive family finance improvement module, involving the Malaysian Syariah Judicial Department (JKSM), Family Support Division (BSK), Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM), and National Population and Family Development Board (LPPKN), be established and implemented as early as the age of marriage to ensure the family institution's sustainability.

This research is a juridical research by analyzing legal politics regarding changes in marriage law using a statutory approach, case approach, conceptual approach, and legal comparative approach. The results of this research are: First, the revision carried out by the government still leaves legal problems, this is based on the decision of the Constitutional Court in several judicial reviews of Law no. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage. Second, the age limit regulated in Law no. 16 of 2019 concerning Marriage is not yet ideal and synergistic with other statutory provisions. Third, the purpose of the amendment to Law no. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage is to reduce legal problems in society. On the other hand, the same problems still occurred when the previous provisions were implemented, such as the death rate for girls who married at a young age, the increasing number of requests for marriage dispensations, and the failure to achieve the marriages desired by law. However, changes to the marriage age limit provisions at least attempt to minimize cases of early child marriage in Indonesia.

Dominative Critique of Hadith Matn: A Habermas' Critical Hermeneutics Approach

Abstract. Dominative criticisms of hadith texts have recently caused some disruption in the established methodologies of hadith criticism outlined by traditional scholars. If left unchecked, this could lead to the imposition of Western biases, which might dominate one body of knowledge over another, or even one value system over well-established Islamic teachings. Two examples of such hadith are those concerning the age of Aisha's marriage and female leadership. Therefore, this study explores the application of J?rgen Habermas' critical hermeneutics, which has the capacity to uncover underlying dominations, to address these issues. The core aim is to investigate the ideological distortions present in hadith criticism. To address this problem, the study employs a qualitative, library-based research method, relying on information sources from various books, articles, and journals. Through the lens of J?rgen Habermas' critical hermeneutics, this paper reveals and examines Western biases, such as ethical standards regarding child marriage and gender equality standards. It also highlights that these values emerged post-Enlightenment, indicating that they are relatively recent compared to the origins of the hadiths in question. Thus, this paper attempts to critique and dismantle the hegemonic dominance that infiltrates hadith criticism, offering a movement towards uncovering these deeply ingrained biases. Keywords: critical hermeneutics, J?rgen Habermas, matn criticism, ideological bias, domination.

From the research and discussions that have been carried out, the following results were obtained: First, the history of setting the minimum age limit for marriage in Indonesia has started since pre-Dutch Colonial times where at that time the applicable marriage law was the respective religious law which was then enforced during the Dutch occupation. Classification is based on ethnicity and each group has its own rules. In the old order era, Law Number 22 of 1946 concerning Marriage Registration, Divorce and Reconciliation (hereinafter referred to as NTR) was born, in the new order era Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage was born, which was followed by its first revision in the reform era to become Law.

P-456 Sexual attitudes in men undergoing Infertility treatment:Turkish sample

Abstract Study question 1. What are the sexual attitudes in men undergoing Infertility treatment ? Summary answer When the infertility reason arises from their spouse, men tend to display a more self-centred sexual attitude. What is known already Men experiencing infertility often hesitate to seeking information or ask questions about sexuality due to prevailing societal norms.Health professionals predominantly focus on addressing women’s issues, leaving the male partner feeling like an outsider who observes the treatment process from a distance. Study design, size, duration This research was conducted in cross-sectional type.,September and December 2017. 141 participant. Participants/materials, setting, methods 141 men who applied to an infertility clinic in Istanbul on Tuesdays and Thursdays between September 2017 and December 2017. The participants’ inclusion criteria were as follows: being men between the ages of 18-49, literate, accepting to participate, and having no diagnosed psychiatric illness.. All men meeting the sampling criteria were invited to participate, and there were no refusals. This setting accepts couples who have been married for at least one year and infertility problems. Main results and the role of chance The mean score of Hendrick Sexual Attitude Scale (HSAS) was 69.78 ± 9.46. Among its subscales, Birth Control had the highest mean score (11.95 ± 2.81), while Instrumentality had the lowest mean score (10.43 ± 4.34). Men whose spouse was over 30, whose marriage age was over 27, and the cause of infertility was unexplained had higher HSAS mean scores. Additionally, men with male-factor infertility scored higher in HSAS than female-factor infertility. Healthcare professionals involved in infertility treatment must prioritise addressing the sexuality of both partners. Male partners may struggle in this aspect, leading to potential misunderstandings or incomplete understanding of sexual information. By addressing and dispelling erroneous cognitive schemas, false beliefs, and self-centred attitudes, healthcare professionals can play a significant role in supporting both partners in their sexual well-being throughout the infertility treatment process. Providing sexual counselling for couples, both jointly and individually, can have a positive impact. However, it is essential to recognise that male partners may be reluctant to engage in such counselling, resulting in suppressed problems and thoughts. Healthcare providers must actively involve male partners and encourage them to share their feelings and concerns professionally and openly. Limitations, reasons for caution The participants included from a single outpatient clinic and little sample size which may limit the generalizability of the findings. Due to the topic’s taboo in Turkish society, some men might not feel openly expressing their thoughts and feelings while answering the questions, potentially affecting the accuracy of the responses. Wider implications of the findings The findings of this research highlight the significance of further investigations into men facing infertility issues from various cultural backgrounds. Qualitative and quantitative research can offer valuable insights into the complexities of sexual attitudes in diverse cultural settings. Collobaration between infertility clinics and liaison psychiatry may be advantageous. Trial registration number not applicable

Period poverty, reuse needs, and depressive symptoms among refugee menstruators in Jordan’s camps: a cross-sectional study

BackgroundPeriod poverty is a significant issue that impacts the physical and psychological well-being of menstruators worldwide which can further contribute to poor mental health outcomes. For menstruators living in refugee camps, access to menstrual hygiene products is often limited or non-existent, leading to increased anxiety, shame, and embarrassment. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the prevalence of the period poverty and to comprehensively analyze the association between period poverty, reusing menstrual products, and depressive symptoms among menstruators living in refugee camps in Jordan.MethodsA cross-sectional study surveyed refugee menstruators living in camps in Jordan, aged post-menarche to pre-menopause. Data collection included socio-demographics, menstrual practices, and depressive symptoms using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Period poverty was assessed through affordability and frequency of struggles with menstrual products. Chi-squared test, independent sample t-test, One Way Analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Post hoc, and logistic regression models were used in the analysis.ResultsThe study included a diverse sample of 386 refugee menstruators living in camps in Jordan (mean age 32.43 ± 9.95, age range 13–55). Period poverty was highly prevalent, with 42.0% reporting monthly struggles to afford menstrual products, and 71.5% reusing menstrual products. Univariate analysis revealed that experiencing period poverty was significantly associated with a younger age of marriage, increased number of children, lower education level, lower mother and father education levels, unemployment, decreased monthly income, absence of health insurance, lower reuse need score, and increased PHQ-9 score (p < 0.05). Menstruators experiencing monthly period poverty were 2.224 times more likely to report moderate to severe depression compared to those without period poverty (95% CI 1.069–4.631, P = 0.033).ConclusionThis study highlights a significant association between period poverty and depressive symptoms among refugee menstruators in living in camps in Jordan, as high rates of period poverty were associated with a 2.2-fold increased likelihood of reporting moderate to severe depression. Addressing period poverty in refugee settings is crucial for mitigating depression risks and enhancing overall well-being.

These include the 1976 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the 1976 International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), as well as the 1956 Supplementary Convention on the Abolition of Slavery, the Slave Trade, and Institutions and Practices Similar to Slavery.

The evolution of family and its impact on the increase of marriage age: Analysis of needs for psychosocial services

The 21st-century family is undergoing significant changes that have evolved over the years. This evolution has both positive and negative implications, particularly concerning its structure, developmental stages, role changes, growth, and psychosocial needs. This study aims to analyze the impact of family evolution on the increase in marriage age in Albania, focusing on the structure and model of family life over the past decades. It also examines the need for psychosocial services in the context of social transition.

The findings reveal a rapid transformation in family structure and an increase in the average age of marriage, accompanied by new social and economic challenges for young people. Considering these changes, the study underscores the necessity for psychosocial services, highlighting the crucial interaction between family evolution and society's responses to emerging needs. The results show a growing demand for these services, underscoring the importance of recognizing the roles of social workers and psychologists in providing treatment and support to families and couples within this evolving social context.

MARITAL ECONOMICS: RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INFLATION AND AGE OF FIRST MARRIAGE AMONG INDONESIAN YOUTH

Economic factors, including inflation, have long been recognized as significant determinants of marital patterns and decisions. Previous studies have shown mixed results on how economic instability and inflation affect marriage rates, with some findings indicating a deterrent effect due to increased economic uncertainty, while others show varying impacts across different regions and timeframes. However, existing literature often lacks contemporary analysis within specific geographical contexts, such as Indonesia, and does not extensively explore the compounded annual effects of inflation on marriage rates. This study addresses these gaps by examining the relationship between compounded inflation rates and the age of first marriage among Indonesian youth from 2019 to 2023. Utilizing national and subgroup data from the “Statistik Pemuda Indonesia” dataset provided by the Central Agency of Statistics (BPS), including distinctions by gender, rural vs. urban settings, and expense groups, this paper provides a nuanced analysis of how recent economic conditions influence marital decisions. The results of the Shapiro-Wilk test conducted across the dataset are mixed. Due to this inconsistency, the use of the Spearman Rank Correlation and Pearson Correlation is justified. The results reveal significant variances in how different demographic segments react to economic pressures, thereby enriching our understanding of the economic factors driving marital choices in contemporary Indonesian society. Through this analysis, the study contributes to the broader discourse on marital economics by integrating localized economic metrics with demographic behavioral patterns, offering valuable insights for policymakers and social scientists.
