The policy of family law in Indonesia is based on principles stipulated in the Civil Code (Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Perdata or KUHPerdata) and several other laws that regulate marriage, divorce, children's rights, and joint property in marriage. In formulating policies, a classic approach has been traditionally used. This research employs a library method, which involves collecting relevant texts and manuscripts for analysis and conclusions. The following are some important family law policies in Indonesia: marriage, divorce, children's rights, and joint property in marriage. Fiqh not only faces difficulties in resolving various social problems and issues but also struggles in defining itself, particularly in the context of formulating legal methods to address these problems. As an initial step toward reconstructing fiqh, this article attempts to propose a solution in fiqh methodology, namely a unified approach to Shari'ah and social inference. In essence, this method aims to bridge and "integrate" the textual (normative) and contextual (historical-empirical) approaches simultaneously within an "Islamic" scientific research model. The offered conclusion is that both textual and historical approaches are crucial in formulating policies of Islamic family law. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study describes the implementation of fulfilling the wife's livelihood and post-court decisions. Some husbands neglect this obligation. The focus of this research is on the implementation of fulfilling the living expenses of the ex-wife and children after the court's decision at the religious court class 1B Metro Islamic law perspective. The ex-husband had to previously pay for these obligations based on sadd az-Zarī'ah to help the wife's economy after the divorce. However, the child's livelihood after the court's decision in PA class 1B Metro is not by the provisions of Islamic law. The ex-husband does not pay for the child's support after the divorce, but only pays it once at the time of the divorce vow, not routinely, and not with a nominal value smaller than the court's decision.
