This study demonstrates how local democracy and the values of indigenous wisdom can be understood within the framework of political rights and legal pluralism.
Next, the fourth article discusses the constitutionality of legal protection for people with mental disorders in Indonesia. It examines the extent to which constitutional guarantees and national regulations are able to provide effective protection for the rights of groups vulnerable to discrimination and marginalization.
The fifth article examines the relationship between informal debt and gender-based violence through the practice of forced transactional marriage in Central Java. This research demonstrates how economic factors can intertwine with gender power relations and produce forms of social vulnerability that require legal and public policy attention.
Concluding, the sixth article explores the legal arguments of gender activists against the rejection of criminal sanctions for perpetrators of domestic rape, as reflected in the 2015 Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) Fatwa. This study enriches the discourse on the protection of victims of sexual violence, women's rights, and legal developments with a gender justice perspective.
Overall, AJLH Volume 5 Number 1 of 2025 affirms its commitment as an academic space that encourages critical dialogue on law and humanity. The articles in this edition offer multidisciplinary perspectives on contemporary issues related to social justice, human rights, indigenous peoples, natural resource governance, democracy, and the protection of vulnerable groups.
