Abstract

Marital issues often present complex challenges that require careful handling to prevent divorce. This research aims to explore effective strategies for managing household conflicts in Indonesia, particularly in the northern coastal regions of Java, with a focus on the role of modin (religious community leaders) and the influence of customary law and positive law as means of mediation. The method used in this research is an empirical juridical approach, which includes the collection of primary and secondary data, case studies, interviews, and policy analysis. The results of the study show that while customary law has provided solutions to many societal issues, globalization and technology have encouraged communities to lean more toward positive law in conflict resolution, even within traditional societies. The modin plays a crucial role in mediating family conflicts and maintaining peace, while village heads often act as intermediaries in divorce cases, which can impact the reputation of the village. The study recommends that villages, through the modin, conduct mediation as an initial step in handling household conflicts to prevent divorce and improve conflict resolution outcomes
