PENYELESAIAN SENGKETA PERCERAIAN MELALUI MEDIASI PROGRAM PUSAKA SAKINAH

Abstract

 

Angka perceraian di Indonesia mengalami peningkatan setiap tahun. Bahkan jumlah perceraian di Indonesia rata-rata mencapai seperempat dari jumlah peristiwa nikah setiap tahunnya. Upaya pemerintah dalam menekan angka perceraian melalui prosedur mediasi di peradilan tampak belum optimal karena tingkat keberhasilan penyelesaian sengketa perdata melalui jalur mediasi pengadilan baru mencapai rata-rata 5%. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan adanya kajian mendalam peluang pelaksanaan mediasi perceraian di luar Pengadilan yang salah satunya adalah melalui Kantor Urusan Agama (KUA). Dengan menggunakan penelitian normatif empiris melalui pendekatan yuridis sosiologis, penelitian ini menganalisis potensi mediasi perceraian dalam Program Pusaka Sakinah di KUA Kayen Kidul Kabupaten Kediri dan KUA Tanjunganom Kabupaten Nganjuk. Berdasarkan hasil observasi dan wawancara dapat disimpulkan bahwa meskipun mediasi perceraian melalui program Pusaka Sakinah yang dirintis pada tahun 2019 belum terlaksana secara maksimal karena dampak penyebaran Pandemi Covid-19, upaya menyelenggarakan salah satu program pilot project Kementerian Agama ini terus digalakkan melalui pelatihan-pelatihan dan pendampingan terhadap masing-masing KUA.

The divorce rate in Indonesia has increased every year. Even the number of divorces in Indonesia on average reaches a quarter of the number of marriages every year. The government's efforts in suppressing the divorce rate through mediation procedures in the courts appear not to be optimal because the success rate of resolving civil disputes through court mediation has only reached an average of 5%. Therefore, it is necessary to have an in-depth study of the opportunities for implementing divorce mediation outside the Court, one of which is through the Office of Religious Affairs. By using empirical normative research through a sociological juridical approach, this study analyzes the potential for divorce mediation in the Sakinah Heritage Program at the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) Kayen Kidul District, Kediri and Tanjunganom, Nganjuk. Based on the results of observations and interviews, it can be concluded that although divorce mediation through Pusaka Sakinah program which was initiated in 2019 has not been carried out optimally due to the impact of the spread of the Covid-19 Pandemic, efforts to organize one of these pilot project programs of the Ministry of Religion continue to be encouraged through training and mentoring to each KUA.
