Silence as Consensus in Musyawarah

Knowledge

Silence during musyawarah does not establish freely given agreement. Examine whether participants could object, change the proposal, or remain in disagreement without unacceptable consequences. Distinguish a decision authorized after deliberation from unanimous consent, especially where hierarchy or exclusion shapes what can be said.
