Review

This paper, "Reorientasi Hukum Mahar Perkawinan (Analisis Terhadap Praktik Pemberian Mahar Perkawinan Di Dusun Gumuk Kerang Ajung Jember)," delves into a highly relevant socio-legal and religious topic concerning dowry (mahar) in marriage. By focusing on the specific practices within Dusun Gumuk Kerang Ajung Jember, the research offers a localized yet insightful examination of how dowry is perceived and administered. The stated objective to analyze the orientation of these practices, particularly in light of the absence of specific limitations in Islamic law, promises to contribute meaningfully to understanding the practical application and potential reinterpretation of mahar beyond mere ritualistic fulfillment. The methodology employs a qualitative approach, utilizing in-depth interviews with five purposively sampled individuals from the community, including a village head, religious leader, and youth. While the use of an expert framework such as *maqashid syari’ah Ibnu Asyur* for data analysis provides a robust theoretical lens, a sample size of five informants, even for a qualitative study, might be considered rather limited for drawing comprehensive conclusions about community-wide "practices" and "orientation." Nevertheless, the findings are quite compelling, indicating that while mahar is strategic for harmonious households, its current practice often defaults to a ceremonial obligation, frequently neglecting the core principle of *kemaslahatan perempuan* (the benefit of women) which underpins its original legislative intent in Islamic law. Ultimately, this study makes a significant contribution by highlighting a critical disconnect between the ritualistic performance of mahar and its underlying jurisprudential objectives. The paper effectively argues for a reorientation towards a more holistic understanding of mahar, guided by *maqashid syari’ah*, to foster harmonious households and ensure women's welfare. While the findings are specific to a particular hamlet, they offer valuable insights that could resonate in broader contexts, prompting further discussion and community education. The recommendation for future research to enhance public understanding of mahar's *maqashid syari’ah* orientation is a practical and commendable step towards addressing the identified gap in practice.
