PROSEDUR GARIS PANDUAN RUNDING-CARA PERKAHWINAN ISLĀM: SATU ANALISIS KUALITATIF

Procedures for Islāmic Marriage Counseling Guidelines: An Analysis

Abstract

Abstract - The term Islāmic marriage counseling among the Muslim community in Malaysia was first introduced along with the implementation of Islamic family law in the early 80’s. Marriage counseling at State Islamic Religious Office [Pejabat Agama Islām Negeri (PAIN)] in Malaysia is a thing that has been going on for a long time. Yet to date, there is still no standard guidelines for the marriage counseling at PAIN. Each Islāmic marriage counselor has his/ her own interpretation about the guidelines that need to be practiced. Therefore, this study has come up with some suggestions of the guidelines needed to be practiced in the process of Islāmic marriage counseling to ensure it achieves the stated desired objectives.

Abstrak - Istilah runding-cara di kalangan masyarakat Islam di Malaysia mula diperkenalkan dengan perlaksanaan undang-undang keluarga Islam di awal tahun 80an. Runding-cara perkahwinan di Pejabat Agama Islām Negeri (PAIN) adalah suatu perkara yang telah lama dijalankan. Namun sehingga kini, masih tidak terdapat garis panduan yang seragam di setiap PAIN masing-masing. Para perunding, masing-masing mempunyai interpretasi tersendiri tentang garis panduan yang perlu diamalkan. Oleh itu, kajian ini telah mendatangkan beberapa cadangan garis panduan yang perlu diamalkan dalam proses runding-cara perkahwinan bagi memastikan runding-cara tersebut mencapai objektif yang dikehendaki.
