This research aims to analyze the implementation of legal protection for domestic violence victims in Banten from the perspective of Islamic family law, focusing on the gap between fiqh norms concerning husband-wife rights and obligations and the practice of legal protection in service institutions. This research employs a qualitative method with a juridical- empirical approach. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews with victims, advocates from Women's Advocacy Institutions in Banten, judges at the Serang Religious Court, and counselors from the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA). Participatory observation was carried out during advocacy and mediation processes. Documentation includes court decisions, case records, and policy documents. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman technique guided by the theory of husband-wife rights and obligations in fiqh munakahah and the concept of maqashid al-shari'ah. The research reveals three main problems: first, partial religious understanding of the concepts of husband's leadership (qiwamah) and nusyuz leads to tolerance of domestic violence; second, service institutions face a dilemma between the mediation approach mandated by fiqh and the need for victim protection; third, religious court decisions in Banten have not fully integrated a victim perspective in proving domestic violence as grounds for divorce. Equitable legal protection requires reinterpretation of equal husband-wife rights and obligations with a maqashid perspective.This article provides a comprehensive analysis of domestic violence legal protection implementation in Banten using the framework of husband-wife rights and obligations in fiqh contextualized through the maqashid al-shari'ah approach, and offers an integration model between fiqh norms and positive legal protection mechanisms.
