Abstract

This study analyzes Asma Nadia’s attitudes and worldview regarding the issues of marriage and polygamy as depicted in the novel Surga yang Tak Dirindukan (The Heaven That Is Not Longed For).

Through character development, Asma Nadia portrays the inner conflicts and emotional struggles experienced by women confronted with the practice of polygamy. Her empathetic and humanistic stance is reflected in the narrative, which emphasizes the perseverance and resilience of female characters. In conclusion, the novel serves as a medium of social criticism against unjust polygamy practices and advocates for the values of justice and humanity within the family institution.
