This research aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the legal protection of women and children who are victims of domestic violence (KDRT) from the perspective of Maqashid Syariah and positive law in Indonesia. This study employs a normative legal research method with a normative juridical approach through library research. Data were obtained from legal literature, tafsir (Qur'anic exegesis), hadith, statutes, and official documents related to the protection of domestic violence victims. The results of the research show: 1) In Islamic law, the protection of women and children is grounded in the teachings of the Qur'an and Hadith, emphasizing the principle of mu'asyarah bil ma'ruf (kind treatment in relationships), the prohibition of causing harm, and the obligation to protect vulnerable groups. Islamic law emphasizes a moral and spiritual approach through the principles of islah (reconciliation) and tadrij (gradual sanctions). 2) In Indonesian positive law, protection is regulated under Law No. 23 of 2004 on the Elimination of Domestic Violence (PKDRT) and Law No. 35 of 2014 on Child Protection, which provide legal guarantees through criminal mechanisms, rehabilitation, and institutional support for victims. 3) Both legal systems share common ground in rejecting violence and protecting human dignity, yet differ in their approaches and sources of law. The integration of Islamic values into positive law is considered capable of strengthening holistic protection for domestic violence victims in Indonesia.
