NUSYUZ AS A CONFLICT FAMILY AND THE SOLUTION (Study of Syaikh Nawawi Al-Bantani in The Uqud al-Lujayn Book)

Every family couple certainly wants a harmonious and happy household life which in religious terms is called sakinah, mawaddah and rahmah. However, in the course of the household life is often faced with various problems that often lead to divorce. Among the problems that are often faced in domestic life is nusyuz. This study aims to describe the views of Syekh Nawawi in the book 'Uqûd al-Lujayn about nusyuz and its solutions. This research belongs to the descriptive-qualitative type by collecting data using literature techniques. The results showed that Nusyuz in Syekh Nawawi's view was an act of hatred between husband and wife as a family partner in the form of a violation of commitment in exercising their respective rights and obligations. The solution offered is in the form of hierarchical stages (advice, separation of beds, and beatings) with a note that beatings should be avoided as much as possible because they do not reflect the welfare side and are considered not of much use in resolving family conflicts caused by nusyuz.

Gender peculiarities of behavior of spouses in family conflict

In this article we will identify and explore the gender particulars of behavior of married couples, the influence of a constructive learned behavior on the prevention of family conflicts. This is followed by consideration of theoretical approaches to the phenomena of “gender” and “family conflict” and analysis of the role of emotions in family conflicts. The paper studies the ways of forming constructive habit behavior patterns as a factor in preventing family conflicts. Systemic and behavioral approaches have been used to explore gender characteristics of spouses’ behavior in a family conflict. The article emphasizes the importance of working with family conflicts, the positive role of conflicts, and discusses the techniques by which they can be managed. The strategies of marriage partners’ behavior in family conflicts are analyzed depending on a family life-cycle. We also suggest various ways of resolving family conflicts, including a mediation procedure, and, more specifically, the family-oriented mediation. The article concludes with our reasoning that gender-specific behaviors play an important role in family conflict and are the result of society’s stereotypization. As a matter of fact, each conflict is individual and requires some serious consideration due to the fact that the occurrence, generation and close of a conflict depends on the situations and circumstances within which it arises and increases.

Role of Women in Family Conflict Resolution: A Perspective of Women Living in the Inner City of Durban, South Africa

This article assesses the role of women in family conflict resolution from the perspective of women living in the inner city of Durban. The paper is based on participatory action research. Data was collected using focus group discussions (FGD) with 16 women aged above 30 years. These women were selected randomly through snowball sampling. The findings from the study show that women felt that they were actively taking part in family conflict resolution. This is seen as a result of the shift in gender relations and women’s empowerment. The findings also show that while women felt that they were active participants in the process of family conflict resolution, their participation is restricted, to some extent, by persisting male dominance which leaves limited space for women to participate in it fully. Cultural beliefs and gender inequality were at the center of the impediments to full participation by women in family conflict resolution. Despite these challenges, the participants believed that women are making a positive impact in resolving family conflict. The article posits a number of hypotheses that may inform practice.

Правовой нигилизм в решении семейных конфликтов дворянами и крестьянами в Российской империи первой трети XIX века

The article highlights the ways of resolving family conflicts nobles and peasants in the first third of the XIX century in the Russian Empire, against the background of the ongoing systematization of legislation. Based on examination of the letters and memoirs of the nobles and peasants we highlighted the methods, which are actually used to solve family conflicts. I conclude that nobles and peasants rarely used help of the state in resolving family conflicts. The sphere of family relations was sacred for these estates; therefore, they did not rope the authorities into family conflicts. I have identified the following ways to resolve family conflicts: duel; marriage, often in the form of a secret wedding; going to the monastery and punishing the unfaithful wife; different approaches to raising children by peasants and nobles. The author of the article pays attention to passivity of the peasants in resolving their family conflicts. The results of the study allow exploring the alternative ways of resolving family conflicts based on representatives of other classes of Russian society in the first third of the 19th century (clergy, merchants, philistines, foreigners) as well, using wider range of sources (journalism, normative acts, fiction, paperwork). This analysis contributes to the discussion about the limits of the government intervention into family affairs. The author of the article redlines that people did not trust the law and resorted to the personally legitimate sources of dealing with family conflicts. This conclusion presents a new perspective in the discussion of legal nihilism and real application of the law in life

The advantages and goals of mediation are listed. It is emphasized that due to the obligatory preliminary meeting with the mediator, the attention of the parties will be drawn not only to their own needs, but also to the needs of minors.

Even so, there are some families who are forced to care for their children in the extended family. The problem how does the difference in meaning, care, can lead to conflict between parents and other extended family members? The purpose to examine the meaning and communication experience of parents and extended family members who are actively involved in child care. The method is a phenomenological approach. Primary data obtained from indepth interviews. The result that parenting is done by parents in terms of physical, psychological and social aspects in the form of love, attention, communication, learning, and control. Parenting is more appropriate for biological parents than for other figures who only pay attention and meet the needs of children when biological parents are not at home, for example, because they are working. Conflict resolution in large families tends to use collaboration style, extended family members discuss a problem to be solved together. The style of resolving individual conflicts is not always applied in the realm of extended families. They tend to adjust to other family members, especially in the interests of children.

Keeping it in the family: a socio-cognitive approach to the prioritization of family goals

PurposeAs the prioritization of family goals depends on the resolution of family conflict, this study's purpose is to explain how a dominant coalition (DC) of parental family members prioritizes their family economic and non-economic goals when faced with different types of family conflict.Design/methodology/approachA conceptual framework is developed drawing on a socio-cognitive approach to explain a family's goal formation process. This socio-cognitive approach extends the stakeholder salience underpinnings of family influence/essence theory. It shows that family conflict arises from the complex and novel social settings of a family business and that a DC prioritizes their family's goals by drawing on heuristic biases to resolve such family conflict.FindingsA key finding of this study is the introduction of a distinct type of agency to family influence/essence research. Unlike the salient explanations, a family's goal formulation process is attributed to a DC's heuristic response in resolving their family business conflict.Originality/valueScholars have called for a greater need to investigate the social and cognitive underpinnings of a family's goal formation process. While the social settings of a family business are often explained in terms of family conflict, an understanding of the sources of such conflict and their resolution have received limited attention. This study opens new avenues to understanding the sources of such family conflict and the cognitive mechanisms needed to overcome them. This understanding is critical not only to the prioritization of a family's goals but also to the idea that “influence” defines the essence of a family business.
