Traditional marriage in Pulau Buaya Village is not just the union of two individuals, but also a bond between two large families that involves social, cultural, and economic aspects. The traditional marriage customs in this village have significant stages that reflect the values of collectivism and respect for ancestors. However, the majority of the community also adheres to Islam, which has its own legal rules regarding marriage. The interaction between customary law and Islamic law in marriage practices often results in adaptations or acculturation that do not always proceed smoothly. Some traditional customs sometimes conflict with the principles of Islamic law, creating challenges in balancing the preservation of traditions with adherence to religious teachings. This study uses a juridical-empirical method with a qualitative approach. Primary data is obtained through interviews and direct observation of traditional leaders, religious leaders, and couples who have undergone traditional marriages. Secondary data is gathered from literature studies on customary law and Islamic law. The findings show that the customary marriage law in Pulau Buaya Village has been adjusted to Islamic principles, but practices still exist that contradict Islamic law. The implications of this study are the need for an integrative approach in formulating marriage policies that respect cultural diversity while remaining in accordance with Islamic and national legal principles.

The rapid advancement of digital technology has led to widespread mass surveillance, raising concerns about the protection of individual privacy. International human rights law plays a crucial role in balancing national security interests with the right to digital privacy. This study examines the impact of international human rights frameworks, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), in safeguarding digital privacy amid increasing government surveillance. Using a qualitative approach, the research analyzes key legal principles, court rulings, and policy responses from different jurisdictions. The findings indicate that while international legal instruments provide a foundation for digital privacy protection, enforcement remains inconsistent due to varying national implementations and technological challenges. The study underscores the need for stronger legal mechanisms and international cooperation to ensure the effective protection of digital privacy rights in the digital age.

This study addresses the legal responsibility of carriers for the loss or damage of goods during road transportation, as stipulated in Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Traffic and Road Transportation (UU LLAJ). Article 193 of UU LLAJ obliges carriers to provide compensation for any loss incurred during transportation, except in cases of force majeure or third-party negligence. The study also explores the application of breach of contract (wanprestasi) and strict liability principles as the legal foundation for carrier accountability. However, the practical implementation of these regulations often faces challenges, including unclear contractual clauses on liability, difficulties in proving carrier negligence, and slow or inefficient dispute resolution mechanisms. To address these issues, the study proposes strategic measures such as regulatory revisions to clarify carrier liability boundaries, the establishment of standardized transportation contracts, enhanced legal education for stakeholders, strengthened non-litigation mechanisms like mediation and the Consumer Dispute Resolution Agency (BPSK), and the optimization of insurance to mitigate risks. These recommendations aim to foster a more efficient, reliable, and legally protective transportation system for all stakeholders involved.

This study aims to analyze legal certainty in the post-acquisition integration process and its impact on the protection of shareholders' rights based on the Limited Liability Company Law (UUPT) and the Financial Services Authority Regulation (POJK). Using a normative legal approach and case studies, this study finds that the absence of specific regulations, weak supervisory mechanisms, and the lack of synchronization of corporate culture are the main factors causing integration failure and potential losses for shareholders, especially minority shareholders. To realize a fair and sustainable integration process, it is necessary to strengthen internal governance based on the principles of Good Corporate Governance (GCG), risk-based supervision, and external regulatory reforms that are more responsive to business dynamics. This study recommends the active involvement of authorities in regulating post-acquisition integration and the implementation of transparent and accountable evaluation mechanisms to protect the interests of all stakeholders. These findings contribute to the formulation of a fair and adaptive integration model in the Indonesian legal and economic environment.  

One of the most important outcomes in the criminal justice system is the acquittal of a defendant in a theft case. This study aims to analyze the basis for the judge's legal considerations in making decisions. The method used is a literature study by reviewing various legal literature, laws and regulations, and relevant court decisions. The results of the analysis show that the judge considered several factors, including: insufficient evidence that points directly to the defendant, reasonable doubts about the defendant's involvement in the crime, and the principle of the presumption of innocence. This decision was taken as a form of protection of human rights and justice. Finally, this study concludes that a decision that passes all legal charges not only reflects the substantive aspects of the law, but also shows the judge's commitment to the principles of justice and protection of human rights.

Professional legal ethics plays a crucial role in carrying out the legal profession with integrity and fairness. For Civil Servants (ASN), especially those working at the Higher Education Service Institution (LLDIKTI), the implementation of professional legal ethics becomes even more critical, considering their role as bureaucrats who must uphold legal and ethical values in every decision they make.

Development through community participation in villages is one of the efforts to empower the potential of village communities in planning development related to local resource potentials. The research questions in this study are: (1) How is the community participation in the development of Merbaun Village, West Amarasi Subdistrict, Kupang Regency? (2) What factors may hinder the success of community participation in village development in Merbaun Village, West Amarasi Subdistrict, Kupang Regency?  This research is a juridical-empirical study with a qualitative approach, using primary data collection techniques through interviews. Secondary data was obtained through literature studies.  The results of the study show that community participation in Merbaun Village development can be analyzed through three stages: planning, implementation, and supervision. Each stage shows different dynamics and levels of participation. (1) Planning Stage: At this stage, community participation is considered high. The village government conducts a development planning deliberation (Musdus) to absorb the aspirations of the community. Interview results show that the community is actively providing input and suggestions, reflecting a strong motivation and concern for the proposed development programs. (2) Implementation Stage: In contrast to the planning stage, the level of community participation in the implementation of development drops significantly. Although the village government opens opportunities for mutual cooperation (gotong-royong), community attendance is inadequate, with many absent. This indicates a lack of understanding and awareness among the community regarding the importance of their participation in the physical activities that have been agreed upon. (3) Supervision Stage: The supervision of the development also shows a lack of participation. The community should be involved in monitoring and evaluating development programs. However, most of the community members do not understand their role in the supervision process, as revealed in the interviews.The study suggests that community participation in the development of Merbaun Village should be increased to make development outcomes more effective and sustainable, in accordance with the principles outlined in Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages.
