EFEKTIVITAS MEDIASI PENGADILAN AGAMA DALAM MENEKAN ANGKA PERCERAIAN PERSPEKTIF MAQĀṢID AL-SYARĪ‘AH
Abstract
The increasing number of divorce cases in Indonesian Religious Courts reflects a serious challenge to Muslim family resilience in contemporary society. Court-annexed mediation is mandated as a preliminary dispute resolution mechanism aimed at reconciling disputing spouses and reducing divorce rates. However, empirical findings from previous studies indicate that mediation effectiveness remains limited, particularly in cases involving prolonged marital conflict and strong emotional disengagement between parties. This study employs a library research approach using a narrative literature review to analyze the effectiveness of Religious Court mediation in reducing divorce rates from the perspective of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. Data were collected from academic books, peer-reviewed journals, legal regulations, and relevant previous studies. The findings show that, normatively, mediation is strongly grounded in procedural law and aligns with the Islamic principle of iṣlāḥ (reconciliation). Nevertheless, its practical effectiveness is influenced by psychological, economic, social, and institutional factors that often hinder reconciliation outcomes. From the maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah perspective, mediation retains significant value as it contributes to the preservation of lineage (ḥifẓ al-nasl), protection of family integrity, and prevention of broader social harm caused by divorce. Therefore, the effectiveness of mediation should not be measured solely by reconciliation success rates, but also by its contribution to justice, social harmony, and family welfare.
