Munakahat Issues among People with Hearing Disability

Marriage is the sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad and the gift given by Allah SWT to all mankind for the continuation of human existence on Earth. Every human being has a desire to live with their partner and in pairs regardless of whether a normal human being nor for the lack of physically or mentally. For people with hearing disability, there are variety of marriage issues related to solemnization, divorce, taklik, rujuk and so on. Therefore, the objective of this study is to identify the marriage issues among people with hearing disability. In addition, this study aims to shed light on the law and its solution to the problems. The methodology of this study is qualitative in nature by using library methods, documentation and interviews to obtain data related to the study. The results showed that there were five issues related to marriage, taklik, divorce and rujuk, which had their own laws based on the situation of the hearing impaired. Each issue has significant effects on the hearing impaired if everything not explained thoroughly. This is due to the lack of discussion regarding the issue among hearing impaired especially in the munakahat. Further study on issues among the hearing impaired in terms of muamalat, ibadat and crime should be conducted to help the hearing impaired get better and deeper understanding on these issues
