This article examines a flourishing Islamic youth movement in Indonesia, #IndonesiaTanpaPacaran or Indonesia without Dating. This movement calls for hijrah (literally means an action of moving to another place) from Western dating habits to ta'aruf or an Islamic practice of getting married without dating among the Muslim millennial. This article aims to explain the emergence of this movement. Drawing approach from social movement theory, the writer argues that this movement is culturally embedded since piety, religious commodification and political resistance against existing political nuance are overshadowed the emergence of this anti-dating movement. It is found out that this movement is an offshoot of banned Islamic organization Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) that continuously struggles to revive the past transnational rule of khalifah (caliphate) in Indonesia. Consequently, the concept of hijrah in social media campaign does not only to promote Islamic lifestyle like ta'aruf but also to promote caliphate as an alternative to secular democracy. This study is presented given the fact that the research on Islamic youth movement in social media is still lack of attention, despite the so-called hijrah movement is legion and may strategically important to make social change through the use of social media.
Dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, muncul suatu gelombang Gerakan keislaman kontemporer yang mengusung dakwah berhijrah. Gerakan hijrah ini subur bertumbuh seiring kecanggihan media sosial dalam mengamplifikasi konten dakwah dengan gaya pop culture. Para sarjanawan ilmu sosial menilai fenomena ini tidak lepas dari kondisi global yang terjadi di banyak tempat seperti komodifikasi agama, kebangkitan konservatisme, hingga neo- radikalisme (Fealy dan White, 2008; Ahnaf, 2013; van Bruinessen, 2013; Hadiz, 2014, 2016; Zulhazmi, 2018, Ardhianto, 2018, PPIM UIN, 2021). Sorotan terhadap kondisi dan ketegangan isu-isu makro sebagai konteks yang melatarbelakangi gerakan hijrah, kerap meluputkan pembahasan mengenai praktik-praktik kekerasan yang secara nyata tengah berlangsung dan mengancam keamanan insani khususnya keamanan perempuan. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan analisis gender, penulis mengelaborasi berbagai ancaman kekerasan terhadap perempuan termuat dalam berbagai konten dakwah oleh salah satu gerakan hijrah yang memiliki puluhan ribuan anggota, yaitu gerakan Indonesia Tanpa Pacaran (ITP). Data dalam penelitian ini dikumpulkan melalui observasi lapangan, wawancara, dan analisis konten sejak tahun April 2018 hingga Mei 2020. Sebagai penutup, penulis memberikan rekomendasi bagaimana peran otoritas keagamaan termasuk ulama perempuan dalam merespon fenomena kekerasan gender mengusung tema hijrah
While polygamy is the consensus of ulama (Islamic clerics) and is allowed by marriage law 1974, polygamy is still a highly controversial religious-based practice that continuously triggered pros and cons in Indonesian society. Polygamy is considered a form of gender inequality and violence against women. Many movements aspire to eliminate all forms of gender inequality and violence against women, including the campaign of 16- Days Anti Violence against Women initiated by Komnas Perempuan and feminist collectives.However, during the campaign in 2017, a recent pro-polygamous organization named Dauroh Poligami Indonesia came to the public to promote polygamy seminars. The emergence of Dauroh Poligami Indonesiais much criticized on account of commercialization and gender violence. Against this backdrop, this article seeks to understand the emergence of pro-polygamy collectives like Dauroh Poligami Indonesia. To fill the gap in the discourse about polygamy, this article shall presentcredible voices of women's pro-polygamous marriage. Why are there women still supporting polygamy, despite concerns about sexual, psychic, and economic violence to women affected by polygamy. This qualitative study employed extensive observation of pro-polygamous movement’s narratives both on social media and private whatsapp group, interviews, and participative observation from late 2017 to July 2022. By drawing on the commodification and self-autonomy framework, this study finds that the emergence of Dauroh Poligami Indonesia is not solely to gain profit using religious-based practice but also to contest Islamic ideology among Islamic denominations and liberal women rights defenders in Indonesia.
