Peer Review Artikel Protection of Women in Aceh Qanun No. 6 of 2014 concerning Jinayah Law (Acehnese Perception Analysis)

The presence of Qanun jinayah is a blessing for Acehnese women. Therefore, it is the hope of all parties that the qanun can provide adequate protection for women. Several articles in Qanun no.6 of 2014 which regulate rape substantially encourage legal protection for women, including; with the stipulation that a person who deliberately commits rape is threatened with 'Uqubat Ta'zir flogging at least 125 (one hundred twenty five) times, a maximum of 175 (one hundred seventy five) times or a fine of at least 1,250 (one thousand two hundred and five) twenty) grams of pure gold, a maximum of 1,750 (one thousand seven hundred and fifty) grams of pure gold or imprisonment for a minimum of 125 (one hundred twenty five) months, a maximum of 175 (one hundred seventy five) months. Even if the rape is committed against children, the punishment is even more severe, namely being threatened with 'Uqubat Ta'zir flogging at least 150 (one hundred and fifty) times, a maximum of 200 (two hundred) times or a fine of at least 1,500 (one thousand five hundred) ) grams of pure gold, a maximum of 2,000 (two thousand) grams of pure gold or imprisonment for a minimum of 150 (one hundred and fifty) months, and a maximum of 200 (two hundred) months. Departing from the background of the problems above, this research is more focused on how the forms of women's protection in Qanun Aceh No. 6 of 2014 concerning Jinayah Law and what is the public's perception of the protection of women in the Qanun? The results of this study concluded that the existence of this qanun jinayah has not provided adequate protection for women. One of the reasons is the lack of socialization of the qanun jinayah and the lack of firmness by law enforcers in taking action against perpetrators. So that the perpetrators of harassment and rape are not afraid of the uqubat threat that has been stipulated for the perpetrators of criminal acts of harassment against women in the qanun jinayah.
