Focusing on the period from 1965 to 2005, the book delves into the interplay of gender, state, and social power in Indonesia, particularly through the lens of divorce regulation. It highlights how the New Order regime utilized these regulations as a means of social control while also examining the ways in which both men and women challenged and navigated state power. The analysis reveals the complexities of gender dynamics and state authority in shaping social norms and individual lives during this era.
