Abstract

The effectiveness of mediation in resolving Islamic family disputes in Indonesia has long been challenged by low and inconsistent success rates across different religious courts. Although Supreme Court Regulation (PERMA) No. 1 of 2016 mandates mediation as a compulsory stage, its implementation often remains procedural rather than substantive. Recent data from the Supreme Court Annual Report (2023) show a significant improvement: of 63,312 cases mediated in the Religious Courts, 25,230 (39.85%) reached settlement, marking a 40.66% increase compared to 2022. However, failures still account for more than half of all cases. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of wasathiyah-based mediation rooted in Islamic values of moderation, balance, and justice in reducing mediation failures and strengthening a culture of peace within Muslim society in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative socio-legal approach, the research combines normative legal analysis (PERMA No. 1/2016, PERMA No. 3/2022, Compilation of Islamic Law) with empirical fieldwork through in-depth interviews, participatory observation in selected Religious Courts, and analysis of case documents. The findings demonstrate that the internalization of wasathiyah values tawassuth (moderation), tawazun (balance), i‘tidal (proportional justice), tasamuh (tolerance), syura (consultation), and ishlah (reconciliation) enables mediators to de-escalate conflicts, address power asymmetries, and guide parties toward equitable and sustainable agreements, particularly in child custody, financial support, and post-divorce arrangements. The study concludes that wasathiyah-based mediation not only enhances mediation success rates but also contributes to the internalization of peaceful values in Muslim communities, in line with Indonesia’s national agenda of Religious Moderation (Moderasi Beragama). Future research and policy should focus on standardizing wasathiyah indicators in mediator training, expanding e-mediation, and strengthening multi-sectoral collaboration to ensure mediation becomes a substantive instrument of peace rather than a mere procedural obligation.
