%T WOMEN’S STRUGGLE AGAINST DISCRIMINATION
OF GENDER AND SEXUALITY AS PORTRAYED
IN THE GENESIS AND AL-MUJĀDALAH
%X Men dominations over women take its parts in every aspect of life. It is
implemented as package of rule in patriarchal culture, even it is in the role of
sexuality. In patriarchal system, Men hold the entire interpretations of social-cultural
and religious understanding. The Genesis chapter 38 is portrayal of bias relation
between men and women. It talks about Tamar, Judah’s daughter in law. She was
married with Er as the first husband and then with Onan, her second husband. From
both of her husbands, she could not conceived and bare a son because her second
husband did coitus interruptus. Her status in the same of between when Judah
promised to give Shelah as her husband, but she should wait for very long time. She
is as widow without son.
The similar case also happens to Khaulah in the book Al-Mujādalah verses 1-
6. Her husband, Aus, forced her to get intercourse with him, but she denied it. Then,
her husband did ẓihār toward her. Getting ẓihār from her husband means Khaulah
lacks her right in sexuality. Meanwhile, sexuality is basic right of women in marital
relation.
The primary source of data in this research are the Bible of King James
Version chapter 38 and the book of Al-Mujādalah verses 1-6. And the secondary
data are the books related to Genesis and Al-Mujādalah. This research is descriptivequalitative
research based on library research. To collect the data, the writer reads
both books deeply and compares it.
The writer uses Radical Feminism theory to analyze the data and elaborated
with Hermeneutic integrated with Science of Koran to understand the whole of the
story in the data. From this research, it is found that both Tamar and Khaulah have
similar discrimination; it is the discrimination in sexuality, justice and marital rule.
Yet, both of them have differences in the way to struggle against discrimination.
Tamar kept her struggle in calm ways and Khaulah did it in the strict ways. Either
calm or strict in their struggle, both of them are giving inspiration that discrimination
on behalf of everything should be denied.
%K Key words: The Genesis, Al-Mujādalah, Radical Feminism, struggle against
discrimination, Science of Koran.
