GENDER PERSPECTIVE OF THE PARTIES IN THE FAMILIES OF FEMALE MIGRANT WORKERS IN THE RELIGIOUS COURT OF THE EX-KADIRI RESIDENTIAL COURT

Subject

GENDER PERSPECTIVE

Description

his research is based on the phenomenon of wives working
abroad to help and replace their husband's role in earning a living for the
family by mutual agreement. However, when they were abroad, these wives
filed for divorce from their husbands for various reasons, as well as the
emergence of different views between the parties in understanding the gender
perspective in the obligation to fulfill the family livelihood of migrant
workers. This research attempts to answer the question of the gender
perspective of the parties at the former Kediri Regency Religious Court
regarding fulfilling the family livelihood of female migrant workers. In
contrast, for this research method, qualitative research methods are used—
sociological, conceptual, and philosophical juridical approaches. The results
of this research show that the gender equality perspective of the parties in the
divorce case of migrant workers in the former Kediri Residency regarding
fulfilling a living shows a moderate view of fulfilling a family's residence.
This reasonable view is influenced, among other things, by family law, which
is still less gender-sensitive, the existence of a patriarchal culture in the exKediri

Residency community, and the presence of religious interpretations
that tend to be still patriarchal. For this phenomenon, efforts are needed to
restore the understanding of Islamic humanist values in the Muslim families
of migrant workers in the former Kediri Residency, which are not capitalist
regarding the role of fulfilling the family's livelihood. As a hope, there is a
perspective of the parties in the household that prioritizes humanist values
that are not capitalist, which places equality in the relationship between
husband and wife with complete respect.
