Infos

This timely and thought-provoking book takes a close look at how hudud punishments, those set by Islamic law, are interpreted, negotiated, and put into practice within Indonesia's diverse legal landscape. Focusing specifically on Aceh, the only province allowed special autonomy to enforce Islamic criminal law, the book delves into the complex tensions that arise between national laws, local religious goals, and international human rights standards. By combining legal analysis, case studies, and a sociopolitical perspective, it offers a deep understanding of how Islamic principles are adapted in a modern democratic context. The primary audience includes legal scholars, academics in Islamic studies, and university students who are eager to grasp the practical and theoretical challenges of weaving Sharia-based penal codes into a constitutional framework. By shedding light on the relationship between religious authority and state power, this work adds to the ongoing discussions about legal pluralism, constitutionalism, and the role of Islam in public law within today's Muslim-majority societies.
