INTRODUCTION

The introduction should explain the background of the research problem and the significance of the study. Authors should present the context of the research, including theoretical or practical issues related to Islamic family law.

At the end of the introduction, the author must clearly state the research objectives or research questions.

RESEARCH METHODS

This section explains the research design and methodology used in the study.

Authors should clearly describe:

  • Type of research (normative legal research, empirical research, socio-legal research, etc.)
  • Research approach (statutory approach, conceptual approach, comparative approach, case study approach, etc.)
  • Sources of data or legal materials
  • Data collection techniques
  • Data analysis methods

The explanation of the methodology should be sufficiently detailed so that other researchers could replicate the study if necessary.

RESULTS

The results section presents the findings of the research in a clear and systematic manner. The findings should be based on the data collected through the research process described in the methodology section.

Results may be presented in the form of narrative descriptions, tables, or figures where necessary. Authors should focus on presenting the empirical or analytical findings without excessive interpretation at this stage.

DISCUSSION

The discussion section provides an analytical interpretation of the research findings. Authors should explain the meaning and implications of the results and relate them to relevant theories, previous research, or legal frameworks.

In the context of Islamic family law, the discussion may include analysis related to:

  • Islamic legal principles and jurisprudence (fiqh)
  • National legal regulations concerning family law
  • Socio-legal implications of the findings
  • Comparative perspectives with other legal systems or Muslim countries

This section should demonstrate the academic contribution of the study to the development of Islamic family law scholarship.

CONCLUSION

The conclusion summarizes the main findings of the research and directly answers the research questions or objectives.

This section should highlight the key contributions of the study and may include recommendations for legal policy, future research, or improvements in the implementation of Islamic family law.

The conclusion should be concise and not merely repeat the discussion.
