The phenomenon of breach of promise to marry has caused material and immaterial losses for women. Women who become victims often experience psychological pressure, social stigma, and loss of dignity within society. This study aims to analyze legal protection for women victims of breach of promise to marry based on Decision Number 10/Pdt.G/2024/PN KFM. This research employs normative legal research using a case approach. The legal materials consist of the Indonesian Civil Code, Supreme Court Decision Number 3191 K/Pdt/1984, Decision Number 10/Pdt.G/2024/PN KFM, and other relevant legal literature. Legal materials were collected through library research and analyzed qualitatively. The results show that a breach of promise to marry can be categorized as an unlawful act if it causes losses to another party. Decision Number 10/Pdt.G/2024/PN KFM provides legal protection for women victims through the recognition of immaterial damages, compensation, and consideration of customary law in resolving the dispute. The decision reflects the court’s effort to achieve justice, legal certainty, and protection of women’s rights.  

This study aims to analyze the implementation of oral lease agreements for business spaces (stalls) at Oesapa Market based on the Indonesian Civil Code. The research employed an empirical legal method with a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and literature studies involving landowners and traders at Oesapa Market, Kelapa Lima District, Kupang City. The findings reveal that the implementation of oral lease agreements at Oesapa Market has fulfilled the legal requirements of agreements as stipulated in Article 1320 of the Indonesian Civil Code, thereby making the agreements legally binding despite the absence of written documents. The practice is carried out based on the principles of consensualism, good faith, and mutual trust between the parties. However, several obstacles were identified, including delays in rental payments, disputes over stall boundaries, and weak evidentiary value in the event of disputes due to the absence of written agreements. This study concludes that oral agreements are legally recognized under Indonesian civil law, yet legal certainty needs to be strengthened through simple documentation mechanisms to better protect the rights and obligations of the parties involved.

The enactment of Indonesia's Law Number 20 of 2025 on the Code of Criminal Procedure (KUHAP 2025), effective January 2, 2026, introduces a paradigmatic shift in the coordination between investigators and public prosecutors: Article 58 mandates active coordination from the investigation stage, fundamentally departing from the sequential-passive model of the former KUHAP, while Article 70 imposes a strict seven-day deadline for indictment drafting after case files are declared complete. This study examines two interconnected questions: (1) how the legal framework governing investigator–prosecutor coordination is structured under KUHAP 2025 and related legislation; and (2) how that framework is implemented in practice at the Purwakarta District Prosecutor's Office. A normative–empirical mixed-method design was employed, integrating statutory, conceptual, and case-study approaches. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews with prosecutors and investigators at Purwakarta District Prosecutor's Office and Purwakarta Police Resort, case document analysis, and field observation. The theoretical framework combines Lawrence M. Friedman's Legal System Theory and Soerjono Soekanto's Law Enforcement Theory. Findings reveal that KUHAP 2025 delivers substantial normative advancement yet harbours three critical regulatory gaps: the absence of binding technical protocols for implementing mandatory active coordination, the lack of uniform and measurable case-file completeness standards, and no formal mechanism for resolving institutional disagreements on legal interpretation. On the ground, coordination at Purwakarta still operates under the old sequential-passive pattern despite the new law: case-file returns (P-19) remain frequent, driven primarily by absent expert testimony, insufficient factual narration in examination records, and mismatches between charged articles and legal facts. A Friedman–Soekanto diagnostic reveals simultaneous dysfunction across all three legal system components substance, structure, and legal culture with the entrenched 'waiting culture' between the police and the prosecution identified as the most resistant obstacle to reform.

The dissemination of personal data through digital media has increased significantly alongside the growing use of Quick Response (QR) Codes for various purposes, such as electronic tickets, certificates, and digital identities. Conventional QR Codes are open and can be easily scanned, copied, or manipulated by unauthorized parties. The personal data referred to in this study includes sensitive information such as full name, identity number (NIK/National ID), date of birth, address, phone number, and email address. This research proposes a layered security system that combines the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) cryptographic algorithm with steganography using the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) method. The process begins with encrypting personal data using AES, converting the encrypted result into a QR Code, and embedding the QR Code into a digital image using DCT, hiding it in the image’s frequency domain. The digital images used are of fixed size and formats that preserve visual quality. System evaluation is carried out by testing the visual quality of the stego image, the success rate of QR Code extraction, and the integrity of the encrypted data. The results are expected to conceal sensitive information visually while maintaining its confidentiality, with potential applications in electronic ID cards, digital certificates, e-tickets, and other confidential documents.

QRIS (Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard) has become a widely used national digital payment standard. User satisfaction with this service needs to be monitored continuously to ensure its sustainability. This study aims to predict the level of QRIS user satisfaction based on their experiences and perceptions expressed organically on the Twitter social media platform. The method used is sentiment analysis with the Naive Bayes classification algorithm implemented using RapidMiner software. The research data was obtained from Twitter user comments collected through web scraping techniques. The text data then went through a preprocessing stage that included cleansing, stopword filtering, stemming, and tokenizing to be prepared as features ready to be processed by the model. The data was divided into training (80%) and testing (20%) subsets for model training and validation. The results showed that the Naive Bayes model was able to predict user satisfaction sentiment with an accuracy of 80.99%. These findings indicate that the model is highly accurate in identifying satisfied comments and sufficiently sensitive in detecting dissatisfaction. This study concludes that sentiment analysis of Twitter UGC data using Naive Bayes is an effective and efficient approach for predicting QRIS user satisfaction in real time. The practical implication of this study is to provide an automatic feedback system for service providers to monitor public sentiment and take targeted corrective actions.

This study aims to analyze the position of customary law in the new Criminal Code and the integration of restorative justice in resolving criminal cases in Indonesia. The method used is a qualitative approach with normative juridical research through legislative and conceptual approaches. The results indicate that the new Criminal Code recognizes living law, including customary law, as part of the national legal system. However, its status remains complementary and subordinate to state law. The integration of restorative justice into the criminal justice system is a progressive step that emphasizes restoring relationships between perpetrators, victims, and the community. This approach aligns with customary law values ​​that prioritize deliberation, balance, and social harmony. However, its implementation still faces various challenges, such as unclear regulations, limited official capacity, and potential conflicts with human rights principles. Therefore, regulatory strengthening, procedural standardization, and institutional capacity building are needed to ensure the integration of customary law and restorative justice can be implemented effectively, fairly, and sustainably within the Indonesian criminal justice system.

The gap between state financial losses adjudicated and assets actually recovered in corruption cases is commonly attributed to institutional weaknesses or the absence of an Asset Forfeiture Act, while the temporal dimension of seizure is rarely examined. This article argues that the timing of seizure is the key operational determinant of state financial loss recovery. Two research questions are addressed: the normative construction of seizure across the stages of investigation, prosecution, and execution, and how seizure timing affects recovery effectiveness when analysed through Economic Analysis of Law, together with a reconstruction of relevant provisions. Using a juridical-normative method, the research combines comparative approaches, with Jiwasraya as the primary case study and Asabri, alongside comparisons with Singapore, South Korea, and Italy. The analysis identifies the investigation stage as the golden time for seizure because it offers the opportunity to preserve and recover assets, whereas the execution stage yields the lowest marginal benefit. The widening asset recovery gap between these stages can be interpreted as a social cost that may be reduced without changing the prevailing conviction-based system. Furthermore, the 2025 Criminal Procedure Code, the institutional consolidation of the Asset Recovery Agency, and Attorney General Guideline No. 7 of 2025 strengthen the role of the Public Prosecution Service as dominus litis in the asset recovery cycle. Five reconstruction proposals are formulated, most of which can be implemented within the existing legal framework.

This study was motivated by the widespread use of Indonesian language that does not conform to standard linguistic rules in Instagram content created by adolescents aged 17–20 years. As a social media platform that emphasizes speed and self-expression, Instagram encourages users to employ slang, nonstandard abbreviations, code-mixing, and various other forms of language deviation. This study aims to analyze the forms of Indonesian language errors found in adolescents’ Instagram content and to identify the factors contributing to these errors. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using content analysis. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 37 respondents and through an analysis of their language use habits on Instagram. The findings reveal that the most dominant forms of language errors include letter repetition to emphasize emotion (78.3%), nonstandard abbreviations (56.7%), code-mixing between Indonesian and foreign languages (45.9%), and the use of slang (45.9%). The main factors influencing the use of nonstandard language are the desire to appear relaxed and informal (86.5%), the need for fast and practical communication (67.6%), and the influence of peer groups and social media trends. Nevertheless, most respondents are aware that these habits may negatively affect their formal language skills. This study highlights the importance of digital language literacy to help adolescents use Indonesian appropriately according to different communication contexts.

The process of creating and verifying employee ID cards at BKPSDMD Jambi City was previously carried out manually, resulting in lengthy processing times, data entry errors, and a high risk of identity forgery. This study aims to design and implement a web-based employee ID card digitalization system integrated with QR Code technology to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and security of employee identity verification. The system was developed using the Waterfall methodology, consisting of requirements analysis, system design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. The application was built using Native PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Functional testing was conducted using Black Box Testing with 12 test scenarios, while usability evaluation employed the System Usability Scale (SUS) involving 20 respondents. The results indicate that all core system features functioned properly, achieving a 100% success rate on valid test scenarios. Furthermore, the usability evaluation produced an average SUS score of 71.75, which falls into the good and acceptable categories. The implementation successfully accelerated the ID card issuance process, improved data management accuracy, and enhanced identity verification security through QR Code integration directly connected to the employee database. Therefore, the developed system effectively supports digital transformation and improves the efficiency of employee identity management at BKPSDMD Jambi City.

This study discusses the reform of criminal law regarding acts of abuse of power within the Indonesian legal system. Abuse of power committed by public officials constitutes a serious violation of the rule of law and the principle of equality before the law because it can harm society and weaken public trust in the government. The old Criminal Code inherited from the colonial era was considered incapable of providing an optimal deterrent effect against perpetrators of abuse of authority. Therefore, the enactment of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the New Criminal Code became an important step in the reform of criminal law in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze criminal law reform policies in overcoming abuse of power and the effectiveness of their implementation in law enforcement. The results show that the new Criminal Code expands regulations regarding abuse of authority with stricter criminal sanctions and additional penalties in the form of revocation of office rights. However, its implementation still faces challenges such as political intervention, low integrity of law enforcement officials, and the potential overlap with the Corruption Eradication Law. Therefore, the success of criminal law reform requires the support of legal substance, legal structure, and legal culture that work in harmony.

This study aims to examine the role of information technology (IT) professional ethics as a preventive instrument in facing the escalation of cyber crime in Indonesia. Using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method with the PRISMA protocol, 17 selected scientific literature from the 2020-2026 period were analyzed comprehensively. The results of the study indicate that dominant operating modes such as ransomware on national infrastructure and mass data breaches in the banking and health sectors are rooted in the neglect of integrity and accountability principles. The discussion in this study confirms that the application of professional ethics based on the PAPA (Privacy, Accuracy, Property, Accessibility) framework is able to suppress the risk of internal threats and strengthen digital defense. The conclusion of the study shows that the synergy between the 2024 ITE Law regulations and the internalization of the professional code of ethics is the main key to data sovereignty in the digital era. The practical implications of this research recommend strengthening the ethics curriculum in IT higher education and ethical compliance audits in the public sector.

This study examines the urgency of foreign nationals' (WNA) legal status and visa compliance in the vehicle rental business in Bali, as well as its impact on business disputes involving local entrepreneurs. The increasing number of international tourists visiting Bali has spurred the growth of vehicle rental services, yet it has also given rise to illegal practices by foreign nationals such as misuse of tourist visas for commercial purposes, tax evasion, and unfair business competition. This research adopts a normative juridical method using statute, conceptual, and case approaches, referring to key legal documents including Law No. 6 of 2011 on Immigration, Law No. 6 of 2023 on Manpower, Ministerial Regulation No. 21 of 2016, and Bali Regional Regulation No. 5 of 2016 on Tour Guiding. The findings highlight the vulnerability of rental contracts under Article 1548 of the Indonesian Civil Code, risks of breach of contract, and widespread violations of the Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement (ETLE) system, the penalties of which are imposed on rental owners. Nationality disparities and weak immigration oversight further undermine the effectiveness of law enforcement. This study concludes that legal protection for local business actors relies heavily on the legal clarity of WNA status, the appropriateness of 1 visa categories, and strong inter-agency coordination. The novelty of this research lies in integrating legal analysis of WNA legitimacy with a dispute resolution framework specific to the vehicle rental sector in Bali’s tourism landscape a perspective that has been largely overlooked in prior studies. The recommendations include strengthening rental contracts, enhancing coordinated supervisory mechanisms, and harmonizing civil and criminal law to establish a stronger deterrent effect.

This study analyzes the regulatory gaps in digital forensics regarding the handling of natural resource crimes and the state’s constitutional responsibilities following the enactment of Law No. 1 of 2024. Modern natural resource crimes, such as illegal logging and illegal mining, have evolved to leverage digital technology, leaving complex electronic traces in the form of GPS data and digital documents. However, Indonesia still faces procedural gaps in the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), unclear technical standards (SNI 27037:2014 is voluntary in nature), and conflicts between the Information and Electronic Transactions Law (UU ITE) and sectoral NRE laws. This normative legal study employs legislative, conceptual, and case-based approaches. The research findings indicate that the absence of digital forensic authentication standards has fatal implications, as evidenced by the Sidoarjo District Court Decision No. 488/Pid.B/2024/PN Sda, which rejected electronic evidence. This situation constitutes state negligence (staatsverzuim) that violates Article 1(3) and Article 33(3) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The study recommends the development of standard digital forensic procedures, the acceleration of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory accreditation, and the harmonization of sectoral regulations

This study aims to examine the utilization of classification codes in the sorting of records and non-records. The sorting of records and non-records is an important stage in information management. However, in practice, it is often not carried out systematically, resulting in the mixing of records and non-records with different values. This condition leads to disorganized records management and difficulties in information retrieval. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method with a library research approach. The data were obtained from scientific journals, books, and relevant regulations related to records management. Data collection was conducted through literature review, while data analysis was carried out descriptively through data grouping and interpretation. The results show that classification codes are used as a basis for distinguishing and grouping records and non-records according to organizational functions and activities, thereby supporting better organization in the sorting process. The implication of this study indicates that the use of classification codes supports more structured and systematic records management.

Adoption is a legal act aimed at providing protection, well-being, and security for children. However, in legal practice in Indonesia, adopted children often face issues related to property rights, particularly regarding the acquisition of assets from their adoptive parents. Under Islamic law, adopted children are not considered heirs with a blood relationship to their adoptive parents and therefore do not automatically inherit. Consequently, a gift is the legal instrument used to provide economic protection to adopted children. This study aims to analyze the legal status of adopted children as recipients of gifts and to examine the validity of such gifts under Indonesian inheritance law. This study employs a normative legal method using a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The results indicate that the legal status of adopted children as recipients of gifts is legally recognized provided they meet the applicable legal requirements under the Civil Code, the Compilation of Islamic Law, and other relevant regulations. However, the granting of a gift remains limited by the principle of protecting the rights of blood relatives through the concept of the “legitime portie” in the Civil Code and the maximum limit of one-third of the estate in the Compilation of Islamic Law. Thus, legal harmonization is necessary to ensure that gifts to adopted children provide legal certainty and equitable protection for all parties.

This study aims to identify and determine the conversational implicatures that arise in the comment section of Instagram @kementeriankegelapan, which discusses the issue of poisoning related to the “Makanan Bergizi Gratis” (Free Nutritious Food) program. The research method used is qualitative with a pragmatic approach, which not only examines the surface meaning but also considers the context of the utterances. The theory applied in this study is the theory of implicature, specifically conversational implicatures. The data were obtained from the comment section of Instagram @kementeriankegelapan on posts concerning the poisoning issue of MBG (Free Nutritious Food). Data collection was conducted using the listening method (Simak) and the advanced technique of listening-without-participating in speech (simak libat bebas cakap). Data analysis used the referential identity method (padan referensial) with the advanced technique of selecting defining elements (pilah unsur penentu). The findings show that there are eight pieces of data in the form of conversations, each containing an idea or topic that specifically responds to the satirical post uploaded on the @kementeriankegelapan account regarding the MBG food-poisoning issue. The topics include: Azab (punishment), Tunggangan di Akhirat (conveyance/punishment in the afterlife), shouting “Long live Jokowi!”, MBG as a way to alleviate poverty, color codes, preventing fights/gang fights, maggots, and “licking”/being servile. Each of these topics has its own implicature.

Early marriage is a social phenomenon that remains prevalent in Indonesia and gives rise to various problems in family life. This article aims to analyze the implications of early marriage in light of the Code of Canon Law (CCL) Nos. 1055 and 1056 in the context of Catholic couples. This study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach through a literature review of books, scientific journals, and Church documents. The findings indicate that the CIC affirms marriage as a sacred covenant between a man and a woman oriented toward the bonum coniugum (the good of the couple), openness to children, and characterized by unity and indissolubility. In the context of early marriage, various implications were identified, such as emotional immaturity that triggers domestic conflicts, a high risk of divorce, low levels of education, and impacts on the health of mothers and children. Additionally, early marriage also indicates a weak understanding of the sacramental dimension and family responsibilities, including childrearing. Thus, CIC Nos. 1055 and 1056 provide an important normative foundation that marriage requires human, spiritual, and social maturity for the realization of a wholesome and prosperous Catholic family.

The proliferation of hoaxes in the era of information transparency, committed not only by the public but also by journalists, forms the background of this research. This phenomenon raises legal concerns because journalists are required to provide accurate, balanced, and responsible information in accordance with Law Number 40 of 1999 concerning the Press. This study aims to examine the legal implications for journalists who engage in false reporting and to analyze how the law regulates the dissemination of false news by journalists. The research employs a normative juridical method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. Data were obtained from primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials and analyzed qualitatively using a deductive approach. The findings reveal that Law Number 40 of 1999 does not specifically regulate criminal sanctions for false reporting by journalists, but instead prioritizes settlement through the Press Council and the Journalistic Code of Ethics, including the right of reply and correction. Nevertheless, journalists may still face legal responsibility under the Indonesian Criminal Code and the Electronic Information and Transactions Law if false reporting fulfills criminal elements. Therefore, law functions both as a protector of press freedom and as a limitation to prevent abuse, with ethical, administrative, and criminal sanctions applicable to journalists and press institutions.

The development of digital technology has transformed trading patterns through the emergence of live shopping, a phenomenon that enables real-time interaction between sellers and consumers. Although it offers marketing efficiency, this model poses significant legal risks, including misleading information, promotional manipulation, and product non-conformity. This study aims to analyze legal certainty in consumer protection within live shopping transactions, examine the forms of business actors’ liability for consumer losses, and identify obstacles to regulatory implementation along with efforts to strengthen supervision.The research method employed is normative legal research using both a statute approach and a conceptual approach. The results indicate that legal certainty in consumer protection within this ecosystem is grounded in the integration of Law No. 8 of 1999 (Consumer Protection Law) as the lex generalis and Government Regulation No. 80 of 2019 (Electronic Commerce/PMSE) as the lex specialis, which recognizes the validity of real-time electronic contracts. The legal liability of business actors is strict liability in nature, in accordance with Article 19 of the Consumer Protection Law, and may also be construed as a tort (Article 1365 of the Civil Code) in cases involving distortion of visual information.However, the effectiveness of these regulations is hindered by the ephemeral nature of transactions and low levels of digital literacy. This study recommends the implementation of technology-based supervisory systems (suptech), strengthening the oversight function of platforms (PPMSE), and policy synchronization between the Ministry of Trade and the Ministry of Communication and Informatics in standardizing business actor verification to ensure the security of the digital commerce ecosystem.
