Abstract
In the Indonesian Islamic family law system, divorce has legal repercussions, but it also has social ramifications related to social interactions, family dignity and the continuity of links among parties concerned. The ideals of honour, empathetic, solidarity, responsibility, and dignified dispute resolution depicted by Siri’ na Pacce are vital in improving the systems of divorce settlement, in the Bugis-Makassar culture. The objective of this research is to find out the position of Siri' na Pacce values in divorce settlements and to develop a divorce resolution reconstruction model that is in accordance with the Indonesian Islamic family law system. This research adopts a normative legal method. Primary and secondary legal sources and literature on Islamic law and local wisdom are analyzed. The research is based on statutory, conceptual, and cultural value approaches. The results suggest that divorce settlement is mostly focused on ending the formal partnership, but the dignity restoration, moral duty, child protection and post-divorce reconciliation have not been sufficiently taken into account. To include Siri’ na Pacce’s ideals into religious court procedures, it can be done thru increasing mediation, post-divorce obligations, defending the parties’ dignity and adopting restorative approaches. Such integration encourages a divorce settlement that is procedural, as well as considers the balance of rights and obligations, family bonds and what is best for the children. The study finds that by reconstructing divorce settlement based on Siri' na Pacce, it is possible to establish a more compassionate, just, contextual and welfare-oriented Islamic family law system.
