PENERAPAN KAFA’AH DALAM PERKAWINAN DI MASYARAKAT DAN PENGARUHNYA DALAM MEMBENTUK KELUARGA SAKINAH (STUDI DI DESA JAYA SAKTI, KEC. ANAK TUHA, KAB. LAMPUNG TENGAH)NIM.: 22103050141Fikri AhmadanauthorThis study examines the understanding and implementation of the kafa'ah concept in marriage among the people of Jaya Sakti Village, Anak Tuha District, Central Lampung Regency. Kafa'ah is a concept of equality between prospective spouses aimed at creating a harmonious household. This study aims to determine the commun ity's level of understanding of the kafa'ah concept, its application, and its implementation in building a harmonious family. This study uses qualitative methods with an empirical approach to analyze the application of the kafa'ah concept in marriage among the people of Jaya Sakti Village. Data collection techniques were conducted through interviews, observation, and documentation with local community and religious leaders. The data obtained were then analyzed descriptively qualitatively to describe the soc ial reality and patterns of community understanding regarding kafa'ah. The theoretical framework in this study uses the social construction theory of Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann, which explains how society's understanding of the concept of kafa'ah is formed through the processes of externalization, objectivation, and internalization in social life. This theory is used to understand how the concept of kafa'ah in Islamic law, which emphasizes the equivalence of partners in terms of education, religion , lineage, and wealth, is applied and interpreted by society in choosing a life partner. The results of the study indicate that the understanding of the Jaya Sakti Village community towards kafa'ah is the result of a social construction process that origin ates from customary values. The application of kafa'ah in Jaya Sakti Village is not absolute, but is an important consideration in choosing a partner, with education as the most dominant factor (47%), religion (33%), and property and lineage (20%). The imp lementation of kafa'ah in Jaya Sakti Village has been proven to have relevance to the formation of a harmonious family. Thus, the concept of kafa'ah remains relevant in modern society and plays an important role in maintaining household harmony, even thoug h it has undergone adjustments according to local socio cultural conditions.297.577 Hukum Keluarga Islam, Bimbingan Pernikahan, Poligami, Perceraian, Iddah, Pengasuhan Anak)2026-05-21UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTA;FAKULTAS SYARIAH DAN HUKUMThesis
