Abstract

The presentation will discuss the findings of a research that was carried out by the Center for the Study of Religion and Culture of the State Islamic University Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta on several Shariah-nuanced bylaws of Tangerang City (which was funded by Respect). The bylaws in question are those on the Prohibition of Prostitution (no 8/2005), the Marriage Law as stipulated in the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), and regulations on religion including the decree concerning the Ahmadiyah. The main findings of the research are that the bylaws have negative but also positive impacts. The joint Ministerial Decree has been influential in the formation of the Forum Kerukunan Umat Beragama FKBU, Forum for Religious Harmony) but has been discriminatorial in matters such as the construction of places for religious worship for adherents of minority religions. The Perda No. 8/2005 on prostitution in the City of Tangerang has indeed resulted in reducing prostitution but has also resulted in the violation of women’s civil rights (they are now afraid to be active outside the house after 10 o’clock at night) and their freedom of expression and academic freedom. Although the draft of the bylaw was discussed with figures in society, the law was socialized in a top-down manner.
