The concept of nusyuz (marital discord) in Islamic family law has predominantly been interpreted as a wife's disobedience, thereby creating a legal construction that inadequately reflects relational justice. This construction evolved within classical exegesis (tafsir) and jurisprudence (fiqh) traditions, and has been reproduced in the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) as well as religious court practices in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the epistemological bias in the meaning of nusyuz and reconstruct the concept based on relational justice from a mubadalah (reciprocity) perspective. This is a normative legal research employing conceptual, statutory, and interpretive approaches. The reconstruction of the nusyuz concept is carried out through the mubadalah perspective, utilizing Abdullah Saeed's contextual hermeneutics as the interpretive framework and maqasid al-shari'ah (the objectives of Islamic law) as the normative evaluation parameter for Quranic verses, classical exegesis, fiqh, the Compilation of Islamic Law, and the Religious Court Decision Number 456/Pdt.G/2023/PA.Rbg. The findings reveal that the interpretative bias of nusyuz is formed through three epistemological mechanisms: textual selection, the establishment of meaning authority, and the normalization of patriarchal power relations, which are subsequently reproduced in fiqh, the KHI, and judicial practices. Based on these findings, nusyuz is reconstructed as a state of relational imbalance between husband and wife that can be committed by either or both parties through actions that violate the principles of mutuality, justice, and moral responsibility within the family. This reconstruction provides a conceptual foundation for a reform of Islamic family law that is more contextual, relational, and substantively just.
