Comparative Legal Protection for Child Victims of Sexual Violence in Islamic Criminal Law and Indonesian Positive Law
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research examines legal protection for child victims of sexual violence from the perspectives of Islamic law and Indonesian positive law. Using normative juridical research methods and a comparative law approach, this research analyzes the philosophical foundations, implementation, and harmonization of these two legal systems. The results show that legal protection from an Islamic perspective is built on the foundation of maqashid sharia to protect children's lives and honor, implemented through hudud and ta'zir sanction systems, and comprehensive protection programs. In positive law, protection is realized through the Criminal Code and Child Protection Law with preventive and repressive approaches. The study further demonstrates analytical distinctions in the qualitative assessment of doctrinal principles and institutional mechanisms, revealing areas where harmonization is both necessary and feasible.. The research recommends strengthening legal harmonization through regulatory revision, law enforcement capacity building, development of community-based prevention programs, and continuous research to improve child protection systems.
