Abstract

Aceh is a province that exists at the most northern tip of Sumatra Island, which has a variety of different ethnic groups, living side by side with one another, carrying out Islamic law or the Qanun law. The qanun is a regional regulation that is not owned by other provinces, but it must be obeyed by all levels of society in Aceh Province. This paper is aimed at exploring the implementation of the qanun law in Aceh society. To obtain data, direct observations are made to observe the community, and interview the relevant parties. This paper finds out that not all people in Aceh obey the qanun, because Acehnese people are plural. Yet, in order to support the implementation of the qanun law in reality, some efforts have been carried out continually by the regional government, as evidenced by the enactment of the Aceh Qanun Number 6 of 2014, concerning jinayat (criminal) law, and of the Aceh Qanun, number 7, 2013, concerning jinayat procedural law. Although many people cannot accept the implementation of the punishment, the rules must be followed.
