The surge in gender-based violence cases reported in CATAHU 2025 exposes the ineffectiveness of repressive legal approaches and the limited function of prenuptial agreements, which remain monolithically focused on asset separation. This study examines the juridical construction of anti-violence clauses in prenuptial agreements as a preventive legal instrument. Employing a normative-juridical method with statutory, case, and conceptual approaches, this study analyzes the legitimacy of such clauses under positive law and Islamic family law. The findings indicate that these clauses have a strong normative foundation based on Article 29 of the Marriage Law, Constitutional Court Decision No. 69/PUU-XIII/2015, and the doctrine of shurūṭ fī al-nikāḥ, which aligns with the principle of ḥifẓ al-nafs (protection of soul/life). Functionally, the clause has the potential to strengthen women's bargaining power and serve as a basis for lawsuits or formal evidence, although its implementation remains hindered by patriarchal culture and a lack of technical regulations.
