Socio political background of the enactment of kompilasi hukum Islam di Indonesia

As a material law used in the State Islamic court, the support of the government of the Supreme Court (Mahkamah Agung [MA]), one of whose duties is to control the legal application of the Islamic court, and also the direct support the President Soeharto, both indicate the great interest of the government toward the KHI. The KHI offers political advantages both to the government and the Islamic court.
