Examining Islamic Legal Implications of Women's Migrant Workers: Family Dynamics in Rural Central Java, Indonesia
Keywords:
Woman migrant worker, Fiqh Mubādalah , Gender equality, Sakinah familyAbstract
The phenomenon of wives becoming the primary breadwinner by working as women migrant workers abroad is increasingly happening, especially when the husband cannot meet the family's economic needs. This imbalance results in a shift in roles in the household, where responsibilities that should be managed together are now only borne by one party. This condition reflects significant changes in family dynamics and highlights challenges in the division of gender roles. This research explores how the concept of the sakinah family is understood and practiced in the context of wives working abroad, using the Fiqh Mubādalah perspective. This research method is qualitative with an empirical normative approach. Direct interviews were conducted with five married couples, and data was collected via WhatsApp from husbands in the village and wives who work abroad. The analysis was carried out descriptively to understand family dynamics. The research results show that although families understand the concept of sakinah as a peaceful and harmonious unit, there is an awareness that togetherness under one roof is essential to make this happen. Of the five couples, only three met all the indicators of sakinah according to mubādalah, indicating that openness and communication are still challenges for some couples to achieve the expected equality in their marital relationship.
