Abstract

Significant changes in gender roles in recent decades have shifted social dynamics widely, including within the family. This evolution has also influenced the family law order, which has been more inclined to refer to traditional gender roles. This study aims to describe and analyze the profound impact of changing gender roles on the dynamics of family law in the context of modern society. The focus of the study includes the influence of changing gender roles on child custody, relationships in marriage and divorce, and other legal implications. This study uses a qualitative approach by combining various data collection methods. Primary data were obtained through literature studies, analysis of related legal documents, and case studies. Data analysis was conducted in a comparative descriptive manner to identify significant changes in family law related to shifting gender roles. The results of the study show that changes in gender roles have a significant impact on family law, especially in the aspects of marriage and divorce. Family law needs to adapt to social dynamics that increasingly emphasize the principle of gender equality, both in the rights and obligations of husband and wife and in decision-making related to child custody. Despite regulatory changes, their implementation still faces challenges, including gender bias and strong social norms. Therefore, more equitable and inclusive legal reforms and further research are needed to ensure a family legal system that is responsive to social change and creates justice for all parties.
