Focusing on the period from 1965 to 2005, the book explores the interplay of gender, state, and social power in Indonesia, particularly through the lens of divorce regulation. It illustrates how the New Order regime utilized these regulations as instruments of social control while highlighting the ways in which both men and women contested and navigated state power. This examination reveals the complexities of gender dynamics within the framework of state authority and social norms.
