Menilai Motif Kehormatan dalam Pemidanaan Perkara Honor Killing: Kerangka Reason-Giving dan Uji Bobot Motif
Main Article Content
Zul Khaidir Kadir
Kriminalisasi honor killing atau pembunuhan demi kehormatan menghadirkan tantangan serius terhadap rasionalitas putusan pidana, khususnya ketika klaim kehormatan diperlakukan sebagai alasan yang meringankan tanpa pemeriksaan yang memadai terhadap hubungannya dengan fakta-fakta yang relevan secara hukum. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan kerangka kerja pemberian alasan yang dapat diaudit untuk menilai posisi motif kehormatan dalam hukuman pidana dan untuk merumuskan kriteria yang membedakan kehormatan sebagai dasar faktual dari kehormatan sebagai faktor pemberat. Penelitian ini dilakukan melalui penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan konseptual. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat uji pemberian alasan yang memeriksa dasar bukti, relevansi hukum, dan kesesuaian tujuan hukuman, serta uji pembobotan motif yang mengoperasionalkan enam indikator: persetujuan masyarakat, tindakan kolektif, perencanaan, kekejaman, intimidasi saksi atau campur tangan dalam proses peradilan, dan dampak diskriminatif terhadap korban. Hal ini menutup pintu bagi simpati sosial sebagai faktor yang meringankan, sekaligus memberikan dasar normatif untuk memperlakukan kehormatan sebagai faktor pemberat ketika berfungsi sebagai legitimasi kekerasan pribadi dan mekanisme kontrol sosial. Dengan demikian, artikel ini berkontribusi untuk memperkuat disiplin dalam menentukan dasar-dasar hukuman dan konsistensi dalam penerapan pedoman hukuman pada kasus pembunuhan demi kehormatan.
