The Role of Each Family Support for Living Cost Balance: A Structural-Functional .

: This study discusses the crucial role of the person responsible for family support in maintaining economic balance in the family structure. Through a Structural-Functional-Normative analysis approach, this study explores the dynamics of interactions that shape the role of the person in charge of income as a central element in maintaining the balance of family economic functioning. The focus of research includes normative aspects that influence this role and its impact on family economic stability. By integrating structural, functional, and normative dimensions, this study aims to provide insight into how the role of the person in charge of providing for the role of the income person plays a role in maintaining family economic balance. The results of the study show that family support in the family maintains a fixed financial balance taken by the role of a husband as a household. The failure of the husband in financial maintenance can have a structurally functional impact on the position of a family


INTRODUCTION
Islamic teachings regulate the procedures for carrying out married life to achieve a happy family.In addition, Islam stipulates that husbands have certain responsibilities towards the household, such as looking after and providing for their wives. 1Livelihood is a sign of gratitude and respect between husband and wife after marriage.Sharia requires the husband to provide for his wife because providing for him is the husband's responsibility for his family.According to Sharia, the husband is responsible for helping his wife.They must always accompany and obey their husbands, do household work, and educate their children. 2ntextually, according to the social perspective that has developed in contemporary society, many women try to help their husbands earn a living outside the home.The husband is responsible for protecting, nurturing and looking after the family in this case.From this paradigm, Muslim feminists try to change rights and obligations by giving wives the opportunity to work outside the home, a role that must be changed in the household.In this case, classical scholars and the Muslim feminist paradigm have strong reasons to discuss. 3 Subsistence in Islam consists of two parts: physical income and mental income.Support is goods that a person gives to his wife, relatives and himself as their main needs. 4Basic needs, such as food, clothing and shelter, are defined as all the needs and requirements that apply according to the circumstances and place, such as food, clothing, housing and so on.The amount of subsistence required is simply to meet the needs and requirements and is based on the circumstances and abilities of the person obligated according to the customs of each place. 5However, since the marriage contract, the husband has the right to provide for his wife, 1 Hazarul Aswat dan Arif Rahman, "Kewajiban Suami Memberi Nafkah Dalam Kompilasi Hukum Islam," Jurnal al-iqtishod 5, no. 1 (2021): 16-27. 2 Nandang Fathur Rahman, "Perbandingan Kewajiban Nafkah Menurut Hukum Islam dan Perundang-Undangan di Indonesia," Al-Ahwal Al-Syakhsiyyah: Jurnal Hukum Keluarga dan Peradilan  Islam 3, no. 2 (30 September 2022): 193-206, https://doi.org/10.15575/as.v3i2.20160.

Apart from that, maintenance can also be determined by a certain amount of money in exchange for the price of goods the wife needs.This can also be given annually, monthly, weekly, or even daily, according to the husband's wishes. 7 marriage, the role of breadwinner is very important, and husbands try to get money from marriage.The husband must provide for his wife and children, because earning a living is his responsibility.The expected family will not be formed if the husband does not fulfill his obligations to support the family, both for his wife and children.8Therefore, a husband must not only fulfill the needs of his wife and children, but must also maintain and protect the dignity of the family, both for primary and secondary needs.The existence of a relationship between a man and a woman to establish a household is defined as a valid marriage in Islam.living together, maintaining family honor, raising children, and overseeing household finances.During a husband-wife relationship based on Islamic ties, the man must fulfill all his wife's needs, and the wife must obey her husband.9 There are quite a few married couples nowadays who are not aware of their respective rights and obligations.A wife who works or earns a living is a normal thing in Indonesia.A husband must earn a living, and a wife must look after the family.There are many husbands who let their wives work even though their income is enough to support their family.A study even found that a husband's Afthon Volume 3 Nomor 2 Juli -Desember 2023 The Role of Each Family Support for Living Cost Balance: A Structural-Functional ...| 242 laziness in earning a living is one of the reasons for divorce. 10In order for a partner to receive their rights and fulfill their obligations, the couple must understand their rights and obligations. 11This research focuses on the role of those responsible for family support in maintaining financial balance using a Structural-Functional-Normative analysis approach.

METHOD
In the research entitled "The role of the person responsible for the family income in maintaining financial balance: a Structural-Functional-Normative analysis approach", the literature review method was carried out by collecting and analyzing relevant literature related to the role of the person responsible for the income, family financial balance, and structural-functional-normative theory.This process involves identifying key sources, synthesizing information to build a comprehensive understanding, and developing arguments or hypotheses based on analysis of the literature.This research will summarize the findings and summarize their implications, with an evaluation of the strengths and limitations of the methods used, as well as their potential contribution to further studies and practice in the field.

Livelihood in Islamic Concept
The concept of livelihood in Islam, as explained in the Al-Quran and hadith, explains the obligations that a husband must fulfill to his wife and family to meet their daily living needs. 12Subsistence includes expenses for food, clothing, shelter, and other necessities needed to live a decent daily life.In the context of marriage, maintenance is the husband's responsibility from the moment the marriage contract 10 Melleni Marhamah, "Perceraian Disebabkan Suami Malas Bekerja Perspektif Teori Struktural Fungsional," Sakina: Journal of Family Studies 6, no. 4 (2022).

It was narrated from 'Aisha that Hind bint 'Utbah said: O Messenger of Allah, Abu Sufyan is a scarce man and does not give me enough for me and my son, except what I took from him when he did not know.
In the text itself, the concept of living is closely related to a husband's responsibility towards his family.Support is defined as everything the husband spends on his family's needs, including food, clothing, shelter and other needs.This also includes costs related to the wife's birth, such as payments for midwives or doctors, drug and hospital costs, as well as meeting the wife's biological needs.The law of providing support for the family is mandatory for the husband, which is based on the Koran, hadith, and Ijma' (consensus) of the ulama. 17Alimony is considered the main right of the wife that must be fulfilled by the husband since they agreed to build a household.Providing alimony that is done generously and without stinginess Afthon Volume 3 Nomor 2 Juli -Desember 2023 The Role of Each Family Support for Living Cost Balance: A Structural-Functional ...| 244 is considered an important contribution that can bring balance and happiness in the household.Scholars have different opinions on how to determine the amount of alimony that should be given.Some scholars are of the opinion that the amount of alimony should be measured according to the condition of the husband.However, in general, maintenance should be given according to the husband's ability, without burdening himself.If the husband does not fulfill his maintenance obligations, he is considered to be disobedient. 18On the other hand, if the wife is not healthy and cannot manage her own maintenance, then the maintenance must be handed over to her guardian or a fair parent to handle it.The wife also has the right to get a decent place to live according to her husband's condition.Overall, the concept of sustenance in Islam emphasizes the importance of fulfilling the basic needs of the family. 19

Living according to the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI)
According to the Indonesian Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), the husband must provide support for the family's living needs.Islamic sources such as the Qur'an, sunnah, and ijma' state that fathers have an obligation to provide for their mothers in a manner that is ma'ruf (good) and according to their abilities.KHI stipulates that, in terms of assets, there is no relationship between the assets of the husband and wife due to marriage.On the other hand, the wife's property remains owned and controlled by the wife, just like the husband's property.However, in practice, there are provisions that allow the husband to use the assets he acquired during the marriage or his wife's own assets to fulfill maintenance obligations.In this case, the husband's material responsibility is what is meant.Support does not include non-material responsibilities, such as fulfilling the wife's sexual desires.
Law no. 1 of 1974, article 34 paragraph (1), and KHI Article 80 paragraph (4), matters of living or fulfilling family needs are also regulated and stated to be the husband's responsibility in Indonesian positive law. 20There is no doubt that income   21 This is based on Islamic principles, which stipulate that husbands are responsible for meeting the family's basic needs according to their abilities.The factor that differentiates Islamic law from positive law is how much salary is given.
In common, husbands pay wives according to their abilities.According to positive law Law no. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage. 22The Compilation of Islamic Law, maintenance obligations include physical and spiritual fulfillment, as well as the husband's ability to earn his own living. 23

Structural Functionalism Theory
The concept of social order is the basis of structural-functional theory.
According to this theory, society is static or even balanced, and each part of society is responsible for maintaining that stability. 24This theory focuses on human behavior in the context of organizations (society) and how this behavior affects the state of balance of the organization or society.To this day, sociological theory has been influenced by structural function theory. 25The United States is where social Afthon Volume 3 Nomor 2 Juli -Desember 2023 The Role of Each Family Support for Living Cost Balance: A Structural-Functional ...| 246 theory developed. 26The country was also the site of the failure of structuralfunctional theory, which was very popular in the 1930s and 60s.Structuralfunctional theory was developed by Emile Durkheim and several anthropologists such as Auguste Comte and Herbet Spencer.All types of social thinking can be included in the systems they offer.Society is a biological being with interdependent organs, according to one of the theory's main assumptions.By using this functionalstructural approach, sociologists can estimate the existence of social order in society. 27ile Durkheim is the founder of functional structure theory.But Auguste Comte and Herbert Spencer were the first to think about the organism analogy.
Comte's concept was developed by Herbert Spencer.He discovered that there were similarities between society and creatures through comparison.From this experience, Spencer gained the necessary understanding of functionalism.Spencer later used this idea as the basis for substantive analysis and the driving force of functional analysis.Durkheim's thinking was greatly influenced by the research of Comte and Spencer, which led to the creation of the term "organism".Durkheim described society as a structure consisting of various parts. 28Each part of the system is interdependent and related to each other, so that if one part does not function properly, pathological conditions arise that disrupt the balance of the system. 29rkheim's theory of functional structure can be applied to modern society in various aspects, such as communication and information technology.The entire system will be disrupted if access to information and communications technology is disrupted, such as when telecommunications satellites are disrupted.For example, economic transactions and other economic life were stopped.In the end, this The Role of Each Family Support for Living Cost Balance: A Structural-Functional ...| 247 condition will gradually disappear until conditions that can be maintained return to normal.Contemporary functionalists call this normal state the equilibrium system, or balanced system.Unbalanced or unbalanced social changes are referred to as pathological conditions. 30wever, according to Parsons, the four main components of functional structural theory are adoption, goal achievement, integration, and delay.1) Adaptation: social systems or society are always changing so they can adapt to changes.2) Attainment of Goals: every social system or society always has many goals to achieve.3) Integration: every part of the social system is integrated with each other so that there is balance.4) Latency: social systems always try to maintain relatively fixed or static interactions.As a result, continually updated agreements address any deviant behavior. 31rsons did a lot for functional structural theory, and he is known as the founder of functionalism theory.Robert K. Merton only supported this limited view as a representation of structure-function theory.He said that this functionalstructural approach had a significant influence on further advances in sociological knowledge, but he also said that structural functionalism could not solve all social problems.Thanks to a deep understanding of classical theory, including the work of Max Weber, Merton's thinking about bureaucracy became more limited. 32cording to Merton, modern bureaucratic organization consists of the following concepts: 1) bureaucracy is a type of social structure that is rationally and formally organized; 2) activity patterns with clear boundaries; 3) the activities that occur in the system are ideally related to organizational goals; 4) existing positions in the organization are integrated in a broad bureaucratic structure; 5) the statuses in the bureaucracy are arranged hierarchically; and 6) existing responsibilities.Academies, universities, and corporations are some of the large-scale organizations that can be described by Merton's bureaucratic model.Merton's functional analysis theory can be described in three concepts.The second hypothesis, known as universal functionalism, holds that every established social and cultural form has positive functions, which can ultimately lead to conflict.The functional unity of society has parts that work together with a sufficient degree of internal consistency, according to the first Hypothesis.The third hypothesis is complemented by the functionalism hypothesis, namely the indispensability hypothesis.This hypothesis posits that each type of civilization, tradition, concept, material object, and belief simultaneously performs several important functions and tasks that must be accomplished.As a result, they become an important part of the overall system activity.In short, each component of societal standards has a beneficial role in this third hypothesis.Moreover, they are an important component of the whole.This hypothesis states that society basically needs all its structures and functions.34

Family Support Responsibility in Structural-Functional-Normative
Functional structural theory in the context of family livelihoods is a view that examines how structure and function in the family contribute to the needs and stability of society as a whole.Society as a system consists of various parts that interact with each other to maintain the whole. 35 the context of family livelihoods, functional structural theory focuses on: 1).Division of roles, structural functionalism emphasizes the importance of division of roles in the family.For example, in traditional contexts, fathers are often considered the primary breadwinner, while mothers focus on childcare and household matters.Each of these roles is considered important for maintaining balance and overall family function.2).Social stability, the family is considered the basic unit of society that provides stability.Effective breadwinning by one or both For example, in modern society, the breadwinner role may be more flexible and involve both working parents.5).Interdependence in the family, this theory emphasizes the dependence of family members on each other.The breadwinner needs support from other family members to carry out his role effectively, and vice versa. 36om a structural-functional perspective, family maintenance can be seen as one of the important functions that must be fulfilled to maintain the family system and ensure its survival.The changing role of women in the family, from household managers to breadwinners in the public sector, reflects the adaptation of family structures to changing economic and social demands.This function is not only related to meeting material needs but also with contributing to the functioning of other subsystems in society, such as education and health.The role of breadwinner, traditionally held by men, is now increasingly shared or taken over by women, demonstrating flexibility and dynamics in family structures that adapt to contemporary socio-economic conditions. 37 Islam, maintenance is not only a gift given by a husband to his wife, but is also a responsibility between father and child, as well as between an owner and what he owns.The Koran and hadith, including Surah Ath-Thalaq verse (6) and Al-Baqarah verse: 233, among others, indicate this obligation to support.The name "living" refers to the obligations that must be fulfilled, namely paying for the basic 36 Norholis, "Subtansi dan Relevansi dari Konsep Nafkah dalam Berbagai Perundang-Undangan Hukum Keluarga Islam Kontemporer; Analisis Struktural-Fungsional," Al-Qadlaya: Junral  Hukum Keluarga Islam 1, no. 2 (2022). 37Suharnanik, "Peran Ganda (Bekerja Sekaligus Ibu Rumah Tangga) Perempuan Muslimah Dalam Perspektif Struktural Fungsional," Jurnal Al-Hikmah 17, no. 1 (31 Oktober 2019): 63-78, https://doi.org/10.35719/alhikmah.v17i1.7.

CONCLUSION
In general, maintenance is a responsibility that must be fulfilled by the husband to his family, which includes the family's primary and secondary needs.
According to the Compilation of Islamic Law, maintenance includes physical and mental needs, which husbands must fulfill according to their abilities.Clothing, food and shelter are part of this obligation, along with other necessities needed to carry out household life.KHI also emphasizes that husbands must provide maintenance in accordance with the standards determined by Islamic law, which covers all aspects of family life, both material and non-material.Meanwhile, Indonesian positive law, which is regulated by Law no. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage and the Compilation of Islamic Law, emphasizes that husbands are obliged to provide physical and spiritual support to their wives and provide adequate housing according to their capabilities.However, positive law does not explicitly state how much maintenance must be provided, in contrast to Islamic law which stipulates this.The similarity between Islamic law and Indonesian positive law lies in the principle that living is the husband's responsibility, even though the wife has her own income.The wife's income is considered her own and is not required to be given to the husband in the form of maintenance.Both laws also agree that maintenance is given to the husband.
