Maintenance and Economic Disputes
Keywords:
Maintenance dispute, Religious Court, judgment effectiveness, legal protection, wife and childrenAbstract
This study examines the settlement of maintenance and economic disputes in the Religious Court and the effectiveness of court judgments in providing legal protection for the rights of wives and children. This research employs an empirical legal method with a qualitative approach through interviews, observation, and document analysis. The findings indicate that dispute resolution is conducted through mediation, court proceedings, and judicial decisions by considering both positive law, Islamic law, and the economic conditions of the parties. Judges strive to achieve justice by balancing the husband’s financial capacity with the needs of wives and children. However, the effectiveness of judgment enforcement still faces obstacles, such as low compliance by obligated parties and economic limitations. As a result, legal protection for maintenance rights has not been fully optimal. This study concludes that although court decisions provide legal certainty, strengthening legal awareness and improving enforcement mechanisms are necessary to ensure more effective and equitable protection of post-divorce economic rights.
