| Summary, etc | This paper analyses the 2008 expert hearings during a legal reform of the registration of life-course events, including marriages and divorces, in the Indonesian province of Aceh. The reform aimed to promote the civil registration of marriages and divorces, but was in tension with the spatial entanglement of traditional law (adat) and the reinvigorated rule of Islamic law (Sharia) alongside the legacies of decades of civil war (1976–2005) and the devastation of the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004. While the registration of marriages makes related rights and responsibilities enforceable, the hearings brought to light that unregistered marriages can result in de facto polygamous marriages, often locally accepted according to village oral customs, without access to state benefits and eligibility for post-divorce rights. Unregistered marriages are often more prone to domestic violence because of lack of redress and support. This paper argues that the contestation of legal inscription of bodies in the realm of marriages and divorces points to possibilities for an alternative co-production of law and space, which in the long run might increase women’s independence from patriarchal structures. The paper contributes to a feminist legal geography by fleshing out the local–national scalar nature of plural legal orders that shape politics about the female body in postcolonial Muslim contexts. |
