This paper attempts to examine the role played by Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in absorbing workforce in North Sumatra. This paper argues that the SME sector succeeded facing the impact of the economic crisis in 1998, 2008, and the European crisis in 2011. Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that education, labor force, financing, profit sharing, and religiosity have simultaneously given a positive impact on SMEs in North Sumatra. Even though it is influential, the coefficient of elasticity for profit, financing, education, labor force, and religiosity is inelastic towards the development of SMEs in North Sumatra. The findings imply that Islamic banks are unable to deal with the SMEs market. Thus, it requires serious attention from Islamic banks to play important role in developing SMEs in North Sumatra.

Marriage registration becomes a very important element for the validity of marriage. An unregistered marriage has a direct effect on the woman (wife) and child. This problem is one of references for the importance of registering marriage. Marriage registration aims to fulfill women and children’s rights as legal subjects. The work intends to explain how urgent the registration of marriage is in protecting women and children. Using research libraries, data are collected by exploring data sources that are relevant to the topics discussed. This study concludes that the legal impact arising from neglecting marriage registration is not easy. When a dispute occurs, the wife of an unregistered marriage cannot sue her husband. In this case, the wife's position is very weak. Likewise with children, the status of children born is considered as illegitimate children. The child’s unclear status in the eyes of the law causes the parent-child relationship is not strong, so parents may be able to deny his biological child.

This paper discusses the thought and contribution of an Indonesian legal thinker, Hazairin, to the Indonesian legal system. It shows that Hazairin's dynamic contribution lies not only in his revolutionary reform but also in his ability to influence the policy makers in drawing the legal products. Standing against the might of the colonial legal legacy, Hazairin was insistent in his position that Islamic law should be regarded as one of the sources for national legal system. This is despite the fact that he is the product of the Western educational system. His ideas are a kind of an intermingling spot between Islamic law, adat law and-to some extent-Western law. These issues will be exposed by relating to the circumstances that shape his ideas, and the social structure as well as the characteristics of the adat laws. Of particular interest is to pay attention to his socio-anthropological interpretation of the Qur'ān, which is aimed at showing its compatibility with society's needs.
