Effectiveness Of Child Protection Law In Fulfilling The Right To Child Custody (Hadhanah) In Kudus Indonesia

The protection of children's rights is a fundamental aspect in the Indonesian legal system, as stipulated in Law Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection. In this context, the fulfillment of child custody (hadhanah) is one of the crucial issues to be studied, especially in areas that have complex social and cultural dynamics such as Kudus Regency Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of legal implementation in ensuring the fulfillment of child custody in the region. Using legal research methods and qualitative approaches, data was obtained through structured interviews with 15 informants spread across 9 sub-districts in Kudus Regency Indonesia. The results of the study show that there is still a significant gap between the applicable legal norms and the reality in the field. Various cases of violence against children, economic exploitation, and neglect of basic rights such as access to education and health are still often found. Some of the factors that affect the effectiveness of child protection include low public awareness of the importance of children's rights, the lack of active role of local governments, and the limited family economy which has implications for the neglect of children's rights. Therefore, this study recommends increasing the intensity of legal socialization to the community, strengthening the role of child protection institutions, and optimizing child protection policies that are preventive and responsive. These findings are expected to be strategic considerations for policymakers, legal practitioners, and the wider community in strengthening the child protection system comprehensively in Kudus Regency Indonesia.Keywords: Child protection, children's rights, effectiveness, Kudus Regency.

Abstract

The protection of children's rights is a fundamental aspect in the Indonesian legal system, as stipulated in Law Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection. In this context, the fulfillment of child custody (hadhanah) is one of the crucial issues to be studied, especially in areas that have complex social and cultural dynamics such as Kudus Regency Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of legal implementation in ensuring the fulfillment of child custody in the region. Using legal research methods and qualitative approaches, data was obtained through structured interviews with 15 informants spread across 9 sub-districts in Kudus Regency Indonesia. The results of the study show that there is still a significant gap between the applicable legal norms and the reality in the field. Various cases of violence against children, economic exploitation, and neglect of basic rights such as access to education and health are still often found. Some of the factors that affect the effectiveness of child protection include low public awareness of the importance of children's rights, the lack of active role of local governments, and the limited family economy which has implications for the neglect of children's rights. Therefore, this study recommends increasing the intensity of legal socialization to the community, strengthening the role of child protection institutions, and optimizing child protection policies that are preventive and responsive. These findings are expected to be strategic considerations for policymakers, legal practitioners, and the wider community in strengthening the child protection system comprehensively in Kudus Regency Indonesia.Keywords: Child protection, children's rights, effectiveness, Kudus Regency.
