Dysfunctional Family Mitigation in the Perspective of Islamic Law and Marriage Counseling

Abstract

One of the family problems is the emergence of symptoms of a dysfunctional family. Symptoms of a dysfunctional family can be seen from the phenomenon of families who like to fight or hurt each other. The causes of dysfunctional family symptoms can be caused by various factors, for example incompatibility in beliefs, imbalance in carrying out roles in the family and so on. This research aims to describe how to mitigate dysfunctional families from the perspective of Islamic law and marriage counseling. This research uses qualitative research methods. The results of the analysis show that mitigation efforts that can be carried out against dysfunctional families from an Islamic legal perspective are preparing good candidates first. A good partner is a partner of the same religion. This is reasonable because only couples who share the same religion can realize happiness in this world and the hereafter. After becoming a family, each family member is able to maximize their role in carrying out their obligations (commitment in carrying out their roles is coordinated by the husband as head of the family). Husbands must be able to set an example in carrying out their obligations both towards their wives and children. If a conflict occurs in the form of nusyuz or syiqaq attitudes, then the husband or wife or children or the family of the husband and wife try hard to find the best solution. Mitigating dysfunctional families based on a marriage counseling perspective can be done by paying attention to the role of love, the role of communication and the role of meeting family needs
