Abstract

Pregnancy due to rape can threaten the victim's life, either continued or aborted. The protection of the victim's life must be prioritized because the victim is a servant who has a definite right to life. However, there are still few who care about the condition of rape victims who are pregnant. This study has two main focuses on the interpretation of Qur'anic verses that prohibit infanticide and second, the relevance of such interpretation in the context of forced pregnancy as a result of rape, taking into account the hakiki justice for women. This study uses library research methods, and the perspective of women's hakiki justice by Nur Rofiah as well as theory to interpret the Qur'ān. The results of the study show that the interpretation of the Qur'ān verses about the prohibition of abortion is related to the traditions of the Arab society of the past, which is not considering of women victims of rape. In the past, this ban was aimed at preventing the practice of killing girls, which often occurred due to poverty or inability to care for children. However, the situation faced by rape victims today is more complex, with threats more focused on the victim's life and mental health. The handling of pregnancy cases due to rape must be carried out by considering hakiki justice, that is justice that really considers the condition and needs of the victim as a whole. This includes providing adequate psychological, medical, and social support, as well as legal policies that protect victims' rights. In this case, a more contextual and relevant interpretation to the modern situation is urgently needed to ensure that justice is truly upheld for women victims of rape. The interpretation of the abortion prohibition clause is relevant to pregnancy due to rape if the victim has strength that shows her save soul, mentally and physically health. Thus, the focus is to maintain child’s soul. On the context, the interpretation becomes irrelevant if the rape victim doesn’t strength the condition of her pregnancy, then safe abortion is allowed with the assistance of medical personnel and regular consultation with a psychologist. The handling must consider the hakiki justice by taking into account the specific condition of the victim.
