Strengthening Family Law Literacy to Achieve Harmonious Families in Kampung Indonesia Nonthaburi

Abstract

Family harmony is a fundamental element in building a stable and prosperous society. However, many families face challenges such as economic inequality, interpersonal conflict, and limited understanding of family law. This community engagement program aims to strengthen family law literacy among Indonesian communities in Kampung Indonesia Nonthaburi. The method used includes legal education, counseling, and community-based collaboration involving religious and community leaders. The program involved family units as beneficiaries through participatory approaches. The results indicate that increased legal literacy significantly contributes to improved understanding of rights and obligations within marriage, leading to better communication and conflict resolution. Empirical findings show that 51% of participants demonstrated good legal literacy, while 43% reported a high level of family well-being. The program also highlights that family harmony is not solely determined by economic factors but by balanced fulfillment of roles and responsibilities. This study concludes that strengthening family law literacy is an effective strategy to promote harmonious families and recommends continuous community-based legal education programs.
