This research focuses on the patterns of violation Muslim women’s maintenance rights upon divorce within Islamic marriage institutions in Indonesia. By using qualitative methods, the research will investigate barriers and obstacles to the realization of Muslim women’s maintenance rights in the practice of divorce in Indonesia. At the end of the research, an analysis of data findings regarding the issue of violation of maintenance rights upon divorce will be highlighted that can assist the policymakers to stimulate more effective and meaningful ways for the realization of Muslim women’s maintenance rights during iddah within marriage institutions in Indonesia particularly related to divorce. © The authors (2024).
