This research aims to analyze the factors behind the rejection of land vacancy by recipients of land use rights in Numponi Village, East Malaka District, Malacca Regency. Employing an empirical legal research method, the study integrates primary data obtained through interviews and secondary data gathered from literature studies. The data were analyzed using a qualitative descriptive approach. The findings reveal that the refusal to vacate land stems from a combination of internal and external factors.

The study highlights the critical need for better dissemination of agrarian legal knowledge and formal land administration practices within local communities to prevent future disputes and ensure legal certainty over land use rights.

On February 17, 2012, the Constitutional Court granted the lawsuit filed by Hj. Aisyah Mochtar who filed a judicial review of Article 34 Paragraph (1) of Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage. This lawsuit arose from her marriage to Moerdiono in accordance with Islam which was not officially registered, which gave birth to a son, Iqbal Ramadhan. The Constitutional Court's decision changed the status of illegitimate children, who previously only had a civil relationship with the mother, now also have a civil relationship with the father and the father's family. This decision applies not only to children born from unregistered marriages, but also to children from relationships between men and women without the bonds of marriage which can be proven through technology such as DNA testing. These children are entitled to civil rights protection, such as maintenance and education, but are not related to guardianship issues. In its considerations, the Constitutional Court emphasized that the law must provide fair protection and legal certainty for the status of children, including those born even though their marriage is still disputed. Eliminating discrimination against illegitimate children aims to provide positive value for the future of children. The obligation of alimony that was previously only borne by the mother, is now shared with the father who can be proven to have a blood relationship with the child. If the father neglects to fulfill his obligations, he can be sued in court. The next question is how the Constitutional Court Decision will be implemented regarding the recognition of the lineage of children born outside of legal marriage.

Law enforcement serves as a fundamental mechanism for establishing order, security, and peace within society. It encompasses efforts to prevent or eliminate violations of the law, addressing issues both preventively and repressively. However, challenges arise when actions taken do not align with established procedures. The appropriate course of action within a legal framework is essential, and when discussing legal protection in the context of procedural law, it is important to clarify that such protection should not be interpreted as a means to shield offenders from accountability. This study seeks to evaluate law enforcement in Indonesia through the lenses of legal certainty, justice, and societal benefit. Employing a literature review methodology, which relies on expert opinions, the findings indicate notable deficiencies in the law enforcement system in Indonesia. For an extended period, those seeking justice within society have yearned for equitable law enforcement.

Various court decisions, for example in the case of grandmother Minah and Aal, the sandal thief, seem to illustrate that law enforcement tends towards the view that law is law and has given rise to public disappointment with law enforcement in Indonesia.

Nonetheless, it is perceived that it still fails to offer legal certainty to investigators in the event of a future breach of contract or if the reported party defaults on their commitment or repeats their conduct.
