CASTRATION PUNISHMENT FOR PERPETRATORS OF SEXUAL PERVERSION AGAINST CHILDREN IN ISLAMIC LAW AND HUMAN RIGHTS STUDIES

The focus of this research is to identify the review of Islamic and Human Rights law on castration punishment for perpetrators of sexual deviations against children. This normative legal research uses a normative juridical approach. The results show that, first, in the view of Islamic law, the application of castration punishment against child rapists is declared haram because it is contrary to the principle of respect for the integrity of the human body. Meanwhile, then, in the perspective of human rights, the application of chemical castration punishment raises debates because there are views that clash with the principle of human rights protection, because it can eliminate biological abilities in intercourse. This research emphasizes the importance of reviewing in the perspective of integration of Islamic law and Human Rights on the aspects of effectiveness and humanity related to the application of castration punishment.
