FENOMENA CERAI GUGAT AKIBAT KEKERASAN EKONOMI BERBASIS DIGITAL (PINJAMAN ONLINE DAN JUDI ONLINE): STUDI KASUS DI KABUPATEN LUMAJANG

Abstract

ABSTRACT

The transformation of the digital economy, accompanied by easy financial access through online loans (Pinjol) and the proliferation of online gambling sites (Slot Gambling), has triggered shifts in household conflict dynamics. This phenomenon has become a primary driver of the rising divorce cases in the Lumajang Religious Court during 2023-2024. This study aims to analyze the legal construction of judges regarding divorce cases due to digital economic violence, and to examine its implications for family resilience from the perspective of the sociology of Islamic law. This research employs an empirical-normative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through the analysis of divorce lawsuit decisions and in-depth interviews with the disputing parties. The results indicate that judges categorize husbands' involvement in Online Loans and Online Gambling as a form of nushuz (disobedience) and a violation of taklik talak, specifically the economic obligation (nafkah). The findings also indicate a sociological shift in divorce reasons from third-party factors (infidelity) to the collapse of family economies due to destructive digital behaviors. This study concludes that legal protection for families needs to incorporate digital literacy components as an essential part of marriage counseling.
