Abstract
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuktikan dan menganalisis bentuk-bentuk kekerasan terhadap perempuan dalam novel A Thousand Splendid Suns karya Khaled Hosseini dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif karena isu-isu yang diangkat terkait dengan masalah sosial terutama tindakan yang dilakukan oleh anggota masyarakat dalam menangani perlakuan terhadap perempuan. Kekerasan terhadap perempuan dan anak perempuan terus menjadi epidemi global yang membunuh, menyiksa, dan melukai, secara fisik, psikologis, seksual, dan ekonomi. Kekerasan terhadap perempuan dan anak perempuan merupakan salah satu pelanggaran hak asasi manusia yang paling meluas, yang mengingkari kesetaraan antara laki-laki dan perempuan dalam hal keamanan, martabat, harga diri, dan hak mereka untuk menikmati kebebasan fundamental. Elemen kunci dari kekerasan dalam rumah tangga adalah ketidaknyamanan yang dialami perempuan dalam hubungan tertentu. Teori feminis yang menyatakan bahwa kekerasan terhadap perempuan meliputi pengalaman perempuan, kualitas dalam kesetaraan, perbedaan, seksualitas, patriarki, dan dominasi digunakan sebagai dasar penelitian. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada tiga bentuk kekerasan dalam rumah tangga: kawin paksa, kekerasan dalam rumah tangga, dan penganiayaan. Kawin paksa dipicu oleh tradisi dan ideologi keluarga dan turunannya adalah kekerasan dalam rumah tangga dan penganiayaan. Dengan ini terlihat bahwa ketiga bentuk kekerasan tersebut saling terkait.
Kata kunci: perkawinan paksa, kekerasan dalam rumah tangga, penganiayaan.
