Kafaah, Religious Compatibility, Marital HarmonyAbstract
This study aims to analyze Muslim couples’ perspectives on religious and economic kafaah in realizing marital harmony in Genteng District, Banyuwangi Regency. The study employed a qualitative approach with a field research design. Data were obtained through interviews with nine Muslim informants and analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that kafaah is understood as compatibility that is not limited to social status but also encompasses alignment in values, understanding, character, and responsibilities within family life. In the religious aspect, kafaah is understood as a shared commitment to implementing Islamic values as a guide for family life. Meanwhile, the economic aspect is understood as compatibility in the responsibility to fulfill and manage family needs, rather than merely equality in wealth or income. Religious and economic kafaah are viewed as important foundations for marital harmony. However, harmony is not determined solely by such compatibility but also by effective communication, mutual respect, cooperation, maturity, and the balanced fulfillment of each spouse’s rights and obligations.
