Abstrak

Kajian ini membincangkan fonemena rumahtangga iaitu pukul isteri dan penyelesaiannya berdasarkan undang-undang Malaysia dan objektif shariah Islam. Ianya juga menunjukkan sejauh mana kebekesanan undang-undang Malaysia serta sumbangan dalam merealisasikan matlamat tersebut. Kajian ini juga cuba menjawab beberapa persoalan-persoalan yang dapat diringkaskan seperti berikut: apakah realiti pukul isteri dalam masyarakat Malaysia? Bagaimana undang-undang Malaysia dapat menyelesaikan fenomena ini? Sejauh mana kesesuaian undang-undang dengan objektif shariah dalam mengatasi fenomenena keganasan rumahtangga? Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah induktif untuk mengumpul data serta analisis untuk memahami sudut-sudut fenomena ini, punca, dan cara penyelesaiannya. Dapatan kajian jelas menunjukkkan bahawa strategi objektif shariah Islam lebih lebih sesuai daripada strategi undang-undang sedia ada. Undang-undang sedia ada berbeza dengan maqasid shari’ah yang mana ia mengharamkan semua jenis pengajaran terhadap isteri walaupun bertujuan memperbetul dan mengislah; sedangkan shariah Islam telah meletakkan garis panduan tertentu dalam untuk memperbetul dan mengislah tanpa perlu mengharamkannya secara mutlak.
