AKIBAT PUTUSNYA PERKAWINAN CAMPURAN BERIMPLIKASI TERHADAP HAK ASUH ANAK PERSPEKTIF HUKUM PERDATA INTERNASIONAL
Authors: Padang Rasshidiq wahid
Published: February 2025

As a result of the breakdown of marriages raises significant concerns regarding child custody within the framework of Private International Law. The primary challenge lies in determining child custody when partners from different countries are involved. Offspring of mixed marriages often possess dual or restricted citizenship based on the laws of each parent's respective country. However, the conclusion of the marriage prompts questions about how child custody is to be established and how it is influenced by the legal systems of each parent's nation. This research aims to address the issue of child custody in mixed marriages from an international civil law perspective. To achieve this, a qualitative approach, incorporating a literature review and legislative analysis, will be employed. The study will draw on scientific sources, including articles and academic works, as well as data from national laws in Indonesia, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and relevant international laws governing rights in this context. Given the increasing prevalence of mixed marriages in Indonesia due to the effects of globalization, this research will focus on the repercussions of divorce in such marriages. Specifically, it will delve into the challenges surrounding the custody of children, emphasizing how the jurisdiction where the divorce is filed dictates the legal framework for defending and adjudicating child custody. The study will also explore issues such as proving a child's legitimacy as a biological offspring, determining the rightful custodian, addressing financial responsibilities for child maintenance and education post-custody resolution, and establishing arrangements for the child's citizenship.

MENINJAU ILMU DIGITAL FORENSIK TERHADAP BUKTI ELEKTRONIK DALAM TINDAK PIDANA INFORMASI DAN TRANSAKSI ELEKTRONIK
Authors: Gemilang Herdino Fajar
Published: February 2025

Digital forensics is a branch of forensic science used for the investigation and examination of a case involving the analysis of material (data) and the discovery of content on digital devices. The focus of this research aims to assess the application of digital forensic science by investigators to support the identification of a case, swiftly and accurately locating evidence, and revealing the reasons and motivations behind the actions taken by the perpetrator. The Indonesian Code of Criminal Procedure (KUHAP) does not explicitly regulate the admissibility of electronic evidence, which is related to the principle of legality stating that Law No. 11 of 2008 on Information and Electronic Transactions (ITE) in Article 54, paragraph (1) allows electronic data to be used as admissible evidence. The legality of electronic evidence is also addressed in the ITE Law in Chapter III concerning Information, Documents, and Electronic Signatures, as well as the explanations in Article 44 and Article 5 of the ITE Law. Referring to the rules of evidence provided in the KUHAP, there must be a means of examination for electronic evidence to establish its admissibility in court, similar to other forms of evidence, involving both formal and substantive requirements. The research method employed in this article is normative legal research, which, in its development, is also known as doctrinal legal research, employing a case approach and a conceptual approach method.

Authors: Humayun Ayesha , Hassan Muhammad , Ashfaq Hira , Haider Zulqarnain , Naeem Nauman , Mubashar Munir
Published: February 2025

Objective: The third gender community, commonly referred to as the ‘hijra’ community and including transgender, intersex, and eunuch individuals, faces widespread societal discrimination, leading to marginalization and reduced opportunities for social and economic participation. This study aims to explore the educational and healthcare challenges faced by this community, as perceived by its members, to gain deeper insight into the complexities of their lived experiences.
Methodology:  This qualitative study conducted in-depth interviews with ten hijra individuals from three areas in Lahore, Pakistan. Data saturation was reached after eight interviews. Verbal consent was obtained with a transgender "Guru" as a witness. Transcriptions were coded by two researchers. Seven themes were identified: early childhood educational experiences, peer attitudes, educational costs, family attitudes, teacher behavior, discriminatory healthcare, and the attitudes of doctors and paramedical staff. Thematic analysis was conducted manually.
Results: The study revealed that the hijra community faces minimal discrimination during early childhood education, but experiences significant bullying, harassment, and social exclusion in later school years, particularly from male peers and some teachers. Financial constraints often hinder their educational pursuits, with some parents being supportive while others are hostile. Healthcare discrimination is prevalent, with many reporting neglect and derogatory treatment from both public healthcare providers and paramedical staff, though private healthcare services offer better experiences for those who can afford them. These barriers underscore the systemic challenges faced by the hijra population in accessing education and healthcare.
Conclusion: The third gender community faces significant barriers in accessing education and healthcare, depriving them of basic human rights. Urgent policy reforms promoting equity, inclusivity, and community sensitization are needed to end their social neglect.

Published: February 2025

Objective: To examine the prevalence of gender-based selection of dental practitioners among male and female patients in the Out Patient Department (OPD) of the Institute of Dentistry, CMH Lahore Medical College, and to identify factors influencing their choice.
Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in the OPD of the Institute of Dentistry, CMH Lahore Medical College, from April to July, 2024. A total of 303 participants, aged between 16 and 70 years, were selected through non-probability convenience sampling. The exclusion of dentists, dental students, medical doctors, and MBBS students was aimed at minimizing biases that could affect the results and limit the study's generalizability. Data was collected using a validated questionnaire, assessed for reliability with Cronbach's Alpha (α = 0.832), and analyzed using SPSS. Demographic information such as age, gender, marital status, and level of education was collected in the questionnaire to observe their effect on gender preference. The Chi-square test was used to assess the significance of differences between variables, with a P-value of less than 0.05 considered significant.
Results: The mean age of participants was 32.4 years, with a gender distribution of 38.9% male and 61.1% female. Over half of the respondents (54.8%) had no specific gender preference while choosing a dentist. Key factors influencing dentist choice included experience, qualification, communication style, and accessibility. Among the female patients, 51 out of 185 wore Hijab as a part of a religious obligation. Out of these participants 59.7% indicated that it did not prevent them from seeking treatment from a male dentist.
Conclusion: Overall, a majority (54.8%) of the patients did not have any gender preference. However, in general, female dentists were preferred for preventive and paediatric care, while male dentists were favoured for invasive procedures like extractions and prosthetics.

Challenging Gender Norms: Male Physicians' Perspectives on Family Planning in Rural Islamabad
Authors: Junaid Jamshed  , Rida Shakil  , Muhammad Hassan Laique
Published: February 2025

Objective: To explore male physicians' perceptions of how family planning (FP) training, supportive supervision, and access to educational materials impact their knowledge, confidence, and ability to provide FP services in rural areas of Islamabad, Pakistan, where FP is traditionally considered a female domain.
Methodology: This qualitative study involved 12 in-depth interviews with male family physicians practicing in rural communities of the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT). The interviews explored their experiences and perceptions of engaging in FP service provision, a field predominantly led by female healthcare providers due to cultural norms and gendered divisions in healthcare roles. Interviews were transcribed, categorized, and thoroughly analyzed. Participants were informed about the study's objectives, procedures, and confidentiality measures to ensure voluntary participation.
Results: The findings revealed significant gender-based barriers to male physicians' involvement in FP services. Many reported that their medical education placed minimal emphasis on FP, reinforcing the perception that it falls outside their professional scope. Cultural norms further restricted their engagement, as FP counseling and provision were widely regarded as responsibilities of female healthcare workers. However, FP training, supportive supervision, and access to educational materials enabled male physicians to develop essential skills, increasing their confidence in counseling and service delivery. Participants noted a rise in client numbers and referrals, attributing this shift to improved competence and community acceptance. They also emphasized the need for stronger pharmacy linkages and accessible informational materials to enhance service provision.
Conclusion: In Pakistan, gender inequality in healthcare limits male physicians’ participation in FP, reinforcing traditional gender roles and restricting access to comprehensive reproductive health services. Providing male physicians with structured FP training, counseling tools, and institutional support can help challenge these barriers, fostering their role as key contributors to expanding FP access in rural communities.

Authors: Arshad Maham , Zara Ali  , Talha Tariq  , Kainat Raza  , Fatima Hashmi  , Tarim Nayab
Published: February 2025

Objective: Surgeon attire significantly influences patient perceptions of professionalism, competence, and trust. This study aims to assess public perceptions of formal and informal surgeon attire and to analyze gender biases in these perceptions among male and female surgeons.
Methodology: A cross-sectional survey of 300 individuals aged 18 to 60 years was conducted in Lahore, Pakistan, from January to March 2024. Eligible participants, excluding healthcare professionals to avoid bias, were adults who had visited a tertiary care hospital and could understand the survey questions. Gender-balanced participants rated male and female doctors shown in photographs wearing various surgeon attires, including white coats with scrubs, business attire, fleece jackets, and casual clothing. Ratings were based on perceived professionalism, experience, and friendliness using a 5-point Likert scale. Participants also identified the doctors' likely professions and indicated their preferred gender for seeking medical assistance.
Results: Of the 300 surveys completed, respondents significantly preferred doctors wearing white coats, particularly when paired with scrubs, rating them higher in professionalism and experience. Doctors in fleece and softshell jackets were rated lower in these categories (p < 0.001). Gender biases were apparent, with female doctors consistently receiving lower professionalism ratings compared to their male counterparts, regardless of attire. They were also less likely to be chosen as the preferred gender for seeking assistance and were more frequently misidentified as nurses or medical technicians.
Conclusions: Both attire type and gender bias significantly shape public perceptions of a surgeon's professionalism and approachability. These findings highlight the importance of addressing gender biases in patient perceptions and developing culturally sensitive dress codes that align with expectations for both male and female surgeons to enhance trust and equity in healthcare settings.
Keywords: Surgeon attire, professionalism, gender bias, patient perceptions, public hospitals.
Gender Disparities and Socioeconomic Triggers in Filicide-Suicide—An Analysis of Media Portrayals
Authors: Pervaiz Zainab , Maryam Ayub  , Nazish Imran
Published: February 2025

Objectives: Filicide-suicide, a tragic form of homicide-suicide where a parent kills their child before taking their own life, is poorly understood, particularly in the context of gender dynamics. This study aims to explore the gender disparities and socioeconomic triggers in filicide-suicide cases in Pakistan, analyzing the characteristics of victims and perpetrators as reported in the media.
Methodology: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using reports from major Pakistani newspapers over two years (January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2020). Data were extracted from online newspaper archives, focusing on sociodemographic traits, the methods of filicide-suicide, precipitating factors, and the gender and age of both victims and perpetrators. Descriptive statistics were analyzed using SPSS 26.
Results: Forty-four filicide-suicide incidents were identified. The majority of cases occurred in Punjab (63.6%), followed by Sindh (34.1%), with a single case from KPK (2.3%). Urban areas reported 56.8% of the incidents. Female perpetrators were more prevalent than males, and most victims were also female. The average age of victims was 10.18 years (SD 9.5). Notably, many cases involved multiple victims, a rare phenomenon in existing literature. Drowning (38.6%) and poisoning (31.8%) were the most common methods. Socioeconomic pressures, particularly financial stress, were frequently cited as precipitating factors.
Conclusion: The findings highlight gender disparities in filicide-suicide cases in Pakistan. Female perpetrators and victims dominate these incidents, reflecting deep-rooted gender inequalities. Women’s disproportionate exposure to socioeconomic hardships and societal pressures likely contributes to these tragic outcomes. Addressing these disparities through gender-sensitive mental health interventions is critical to mitigating the risks of filicide-suicide and promoting broader gender equality in health.

Addressing Gender Disparities in Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health: A Scoping Review of Life Skills-Based Education in Pakistan
Authors: Anwar Bushra , Sayema Awais  , Muhammad Moeed Azwar Bhatti  , Sania Ahmed  , Muhammad Bin Aslam Zahid  , Hafsa Malik
Published: February 2025

Objective: Adolescents in Pakistan face significant health risks due to factors such as sexual violence, forced marriages, and limited access to reproductive health education. Life Skills-Based Education (LSBE) and Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) have been explored as strategies to enhance awareness and improve reproductive health outcomes. This scoping review examines existing research on LSBE programs in Pakistan, with a focus on gender disparities in their implementation and impact.
Methodology: A systematic search was conducted across PubMed, Medline, Google Scholar, Web of Science, PakMediNet, and Popline for randomized, quasi-randomized trials, and evaluation studies on LSBE programs published in the past two decades. Studies included were those conducted in schools or communities to improve adolescents' life skills and reproductive health knowledge. Two independent reviewers assessed the papers to minimize bias. Given the limited availability of peer-reviewed studies (only three articles), relevant non-peer-reviewed literature was also incorporated into the final analysis.
Results: Six studies met the inclusion criteria, consisting of research articles and NGO reports evaluating LSBE programs. These programs were associated with increased confidence, higher school attendance—especially among girls—and improved awareness of reproductive health rights. However, most interventions primarily targeted female adolescents, with limited focus on addressing the needs of boys, highlighting a gender disparity in program outreach.
Conclusion: While LSBE programs in Pakistan have demonstrated positive effects, the existing data is insufficient to conclusively determine their effectiveness in improving adolescent health outcomes. More rigorous research, including controlled experimental studies with reliable assessment tools, is needed to evaluate the impact of LSBE and CSE. Additionally, addressing the gender imbalance in program implementation is crucial to ensure equitable access to reproductive health education for all adolescents.

Objectives: To explore the gender distribution trends in the MDCAT test, MBBS, and BDS admissions at Bolan Medical College (BMC), Quetta, from 2019 to 2024, and to gather students' perceptions regarding the barriers faced by female students in medical education.
Methodology: This qualitative study was conducted in 2024 at BMC, Quetta, to examine gender inequity in MBBS and BDS admissions from 2019 to 2024. Thirty-two first-year female students from the 2024 batch were purposively selected for focus group discussions (FGDs) to explore their personal experiences regarding gender-specific challenges. The themes that emerged were safety concerns, transportation issues, cultural norms and social pressures, lack of female role models, and family support. In addition, the study examined the availability and accessibility of MDCAT preparation resources, specifically for students from rural backgrounds, who reported more challenges in accessing coaching and educational materials.
Results: The five-year data analysis revealed persistent gender inequity, with female admissions consistently lower than male admissions. In MBBS, female admissions ranged from 39.2% (n=89/227) in 2019-2020 to 30.62% (n=105/343) in 2023-2024, while female enrollment in BDS remained relatively equal, at 61.36% (n=27/44) in 2019-2020 and 52.27% (n=23/47) in 2023-2024. Among the surveyed students, 37.5% (n=15) reported encountering barriers in pursuing health sciences. The primary obstacles identified were safety concerns and transportation issues at academic institutions (47.5%, n=19), followed by cultural norms and social pressures (20%, n=8), and a lack of female role models in college (12.5%, n=5). While most participants identified inadequate family support and limited access to MDCAT preparation as the primary obstacles, they found educational resources and coaching centers to be generally sufficient. However, a subset of students from rural areas reported restricted access.
Conclusion: There was a persistent gender inequity in MBBS and BDS admissions in BMC with female students facing considerable challenges both pre and post-admission.
