“…Arguably, in this era, the state both increasingly recognizes religious authority in its family law efforts as well as seeks Research shows that educated young women do not plan to give up their careers after marriage (Utomo 2015;. Women are gravitating toward the service sector, with 58% of working women in non-agricultural sectors (Schaner and Das 2016). In 2016, just 12% of Indonesians aged 25-34 had tertiary education, but the percentage of women among those enrolled in tertiary education rose from 9% in 1990 to 32% in 2012 (OECD 2016).…”

“…Indonesian women, especially those in the middle class, have increasing work and educational opportunities.Indonesian women have long worked outside the house, but mostly in the informal and agricultural sectors. Indonesian women's labor force participation rose from 26% to 51.4% between 1971 and 2014, though it has not changed much since 1990(Schaner and Das 2016).…”

Obedience and Authority among Muslim Couples: Negotiating Gendered Religious Scripts in Indonesia

This study of Muslim married couples in Indonesia shows that religiously justified scripts about wives’ obedience and husbands’ household authority are ways of accomplishing gender as well as achieving status as good Muslims. Such scripts are amplified by a context in which a version of Islamic family law that envisions women as primarily domestic and men as household authorities and breadwinners has been institutionalized. However, this vision is also being challenged by women’s increasing educational attainment as well as competing egalitarian discourses of gender in Islam. The gendered religious scripts used by Muslim couples compensate for social changes that threaten to reshape both domestic and public life. I propose that how Muslim men and women talk about their marriages and households has become a key mechanism for accomplishing modern Muslim gender identities in a context where men’s authority is at risk. These dynamics may be especially prevalent in Muslim contexts where Islamic law is becoming more institutionalized in state bureaucracies and everyday life.

“…The increasing exposure to equal opportunities of men and women could be indicated, to a lesser extent, by the rise of women's employment and educational attainment. Schaner and Das (2016) have reported that there is evidence of increasing participation of younger women living in the urban areas in wage employment. The study also found a narrowing trend in gen-der gap in wage employment-in 2011, the median women earned 84% as much as their male counterparts compared to 57% in 1990.…”

“…The study also found a narrowing trend in gen-der gap in wage employment-in 2011, the median women earned 84% as much as their male counterparts compared to 57% in 1990. In 2011, almost 30% of women obtained senior secondary and post-secondary degrees compared to merely 11% of women in 1990 and around 8% of women had tertiary degree (Schaner & Das, 2016). Consequently, greater participation in wage employment has enabled them to be more economically independent, while better access to education has enriched them with better understanding of their worth.…”

“…We can set the price of output 3 Note that the inelastic labor supply formulation is an attractive simplification to the model, but it is in stark contrast to the data in Indonesia. For example, currently, only 50 percent of women in Indonesia participate in the labor force (Schaner and Das, 2016). 4 In other words, ε has the following cumulative distribution function: F (ε) = exp {− exp {−ε/s}}.…”
