Under Law No. 11/2006 on the Governing of Aceh (UUPA), which unique judicial body exercises jurisdiction over Islamic Sharia offenses (jinayah) in Aceh?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Mahkamah Syar'iyah
- Step 1: The Mahkamah Syar'iyah operates as a specialized Islamic court within the national judiciary in Aceh. Step 2. Under the Helsinki MoU and UUPA, it adjudicates Islamic family law (ahwal al-shakhsiyyah), civil transactions (muamalah), and criminal Islamic law (jinayah). Answer: Mahkamah Syar'iyah. Why not the others: MPU is an Islamic consultative ulama council; Pengadilan Adat handles customary reconciliation.
