JAKARTA - The Draft Law on Family Resilience which is included in the National Legislation Program has sparked debate in the community. This bill came about because it wants families in Indonesia to be in the ideal category.

One of the proposers was Netty Prasetiyani, a member of the House of Representatives of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS). He explained that the emergence of this bill was due to the awareness that the family is coal in the carriage of civilization. He denied that when the bill was said to be aimed at intervening in household life.

According to Netty, not all families in Indonesia are in the welfare category, therefore with this bill, she wants Indonesian families to fall into the ideal category.

"So the state must provide access so that these families in various strata, in various dimensions, can have resilience," he said, at the DPR Building, Parliament Complex, Jakarta, Tuesday, February 18.

Netty said, referring to data from the BKKBN in 2015, 51.7 percent of family heads in Indonesia graduated from elementary school (SD). He was surprised by the pattern of family formation when the head of his family graduated from elementary school.

Therefore, with this bill, families will have immunity and resilience. The presence of this bill is not intended to intervene in the life of a family, including determining who is married to someone.

Furthermore, Netty explained, another reason for the formation of this bill is so that Indonesian families have the values of honesty and independence. That way, the family will have readiness to live the ark of their life.

"We want the family in any situation to be able to get out of the crisis and then that is done. The values of radicalism, which are dangerous, can be anticipated, can be prevented starting from the family. That's what we hope," he said.
