Abstract

This research analyzes the strengthening of children's biological justice post-divorce through the integration of Islamic and Indonesian positive law. Data from 2023 shows 68% of children from divorced parents face difficulties accessing their biological rights. At the Pekanbaru Religious Court, of 1,247 divorce cases in 2023, 73% involved minors,with child support compliance at only 45 %.


Using a normative-integrative approach, this study analyzes primary legal sources, secondary references, and court decisions. The proposed strengthening model integrates maqasid syari'ah (hifdz al-nasl) with modern regulations through three components: optimization of legal mechanisms, strengthening social institutions' roles, and child rights monitoring systems. Implementation results at the Pekanbaru Religious Court show increased child support compliance to 67%, improved parent-child meeting frequency by 52%, and reduced custody violation cases by 38%. This model contributes to the development of Islamic family law and the application of Maqasid Syari'ah in modern contexts.
