This issue of Antmind Review: Journal of Sharia and Legal Ethics presents a rich collection of interdisciplinary studies that critically engage with contemporary transformations in Islamic family law, legal ethics, and judicial practice in Indonesia and beyond. Several contributions examine the evolving legal status of interfaith families, highlighting the complex interplay between Islamic law, national legal policy, and human rights discourse in the aftermath of recent judicial developments, including Supreme Court Circular Number 2 of 2023, and illustrating how courts and families negotiate normative tensions between religious doctrine, constitutional principles, and plural social realities. Other articles extend the discussion by addressing institutional and technological innovation in Islamic family law governance, such as the use of artificial intelligence–based premarital counselling as a forward-looking strategy for strengthening sakinah families, alongside empirical analyses of court-annexed mediation and mobile court services that demonstrate how judicial institutions operationalize Islamic legal ethics through transformative mediation practices and access-to-justice initiatives, particularly in remote and peripheral regions. Taken together, the articles underscore the dynamic relationship between Sharia principles, legal institutions, and social change, inviting scholars, judges, policymakers, and practitioners to reconsider Islamic legal ethics not as a static doctrinal framework, but as a living system responsive to pluralism, technological change, and the demands of justice in contemporary societies.
