Abstract
This scholarly study conducted an in-depth assessment of the notion of Domestic Sexual Violence, as defined in Law No. 12 of 2022, covering Crimes of Sexual Violence, with a particular emphasis on its interpretation within the framework of Islamic Family Law. This complicated subject was divided into several fundamental questions:1) What is the meaning of domestic sexual violence, as defined in Law No. 12 of 2022 on Sexual Violence Crimes? 2) How is domestic sexual violence perceived and defined in Islamic Family Law? 3) How is domestic sexual violence defined in Law No. 12 of 2022, viewed in the context of Islamic Family Law? The research methodology was primarily literature based, drawing on a wide range of sources such as legal texts, academic journals, books, and relevant case studies to illuminate the understanding and interpretation of domestic sexual violence in both Law No. 12 of 2022 and Islamic Family Law. This topic was further contextualized by analyzing broader dimensions of religion, sexual assault prevention techniques, and family dynamics within homes. This study attempts to shed light on how domestic sexual assault was interpreted in legal and religious contexts, as well as how they interacted with one another.
