Abstract
Family disharmony is a condition marked by prolonged conflict, poor communication, neglect of responsibilities, and emotional distance among family members. This study examines the concept of family disharmony from the perspective of Indonesian family law and its impact on physical and psychological well-being. Using a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and analytical approaches, this study analyzes relevant legal regulations and scholarly literature. The findings indicate that although family disharmony is not explicitly regulated, it may be interpreted as a breakdown of family relationships that obstructs the fulfillment of legal rights and obligations. Disharmony becomes legally significant when it involves violence, neglect, intimidation, or rights violations. Its impacts include physical injuries, stress-related disorders, anxiety, trauma, and impaired child development. Strengthening legal education, counseling services, early intervention, and institutional cooperation is necessary to protect family welfare.
