Abstract
This paper discusses the concept of kafa'ah in fiqh munakahat related to the relationship between husband and wife. The author clarifies that domestic violence which occurs in marriage is due to the absence of equality. In this case the position of husband to wife is not equal, either in economic, social, education, culture, race/ethnicity, ancestry or religious level. Husband position which is not equivalent (as kufu‘) with his wife or vice versa, often triggers the dispute between them. Ongoing dispute, then followed by hurting words, beatings or physical abuse, irresponsible behavior, ignoring the economic or biological needs, getting married again, and even also leading to a sadistic action or killing. In this perspective, the author considers that if the value embodied in the kafa'ah concept is understood correctly and properly, it will actually give a positive chance to prevent domestic violence crime especially in the context of the relationship between husband and wife.
