The high divorce rate in North Aceh Regency reflects significant challenges to family resilience despite the implementation of Islamic law in the region. This phenomenon affects not only marital relationships but also social stability and the preservation of Islamic values within the community. This study aims to identify the factors contributing to the high divorce rate and examine them from the perspective of Islamic family law. According to data from the Supreme Court's Directory of Decisions, 915 divorce cases were recorded in 2024. This study employs a qualitative research method with a normative juridical approach, focusing on the analysis of six divorce rulings: Decisions No. 688/Pdt.G/2024/MS-Lsk, 748/Pdt.G/2024/MS-Lsk, 766/Pdt.G/2024/MS-Lsk, 583/Pdt.G/2024/MS-Lsk, 812/Pdt.G/2024/MS-Lsk, and 901/Pdt.G/2024/MS-Lsk. The findings reveal that the divorce cases examined were associated with persistent marital conflicts, ineffective communication, failure to fulfill financial obligations, infidelity, domestic violence, nusyuz (marital disobedience), and prolonged separation. From the perspective of Islamic family law, these factors undermine the fundamental objectives of marriage, particularly the establishment of sakinah (tranquility), mawaddah (affection), and rahmah (compassion). Such circumstances may constitute legally recognized grounds for divorce when they result in persistent harm or the breakdown of marital relationships. The findings highlight the importance of marital relationship quality and the internalization of Islamic values in maintaining family stability. This study contributes to the discourse on Islamic family law and recommends strengthening divorce prevention efforts through comprehensive family development programs involving religious institutions and local governments.
