Perceraian dalam masyarakat adat Batak Toba merupakan suatu fenomena hukum yang tidak dapat dilepaskan dari sistem kekerabatan dan nilai-nilai budaya yang hidup dalam masyarakat. Meskipun perceraian pada dasarnya dihindari, dalam praktiknya perceraian tetap dimungkinkan melalui mekanisme adat yang menitikberatkan pada musyawarah dan kesepakatan keluarga besar. Permasalahan muncul ketika perceraian yang dilakukan secara adat tersebut dihadapkan pada ketentuan hukum positif di Indonesia, khususnya Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 1974 tentang Perkawinan yang mensyaratkan perceraian harus dilakukan melalui putusan pengadilan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis mekanisme perceraian menurut adat Batak Toba serta mengkaji keabsahannya ditinjau dari Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 1974. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan, konseptual, dan kasus, serta menggunakan data sekunder berupa bahan hukum primer, sekunder, dan tersier yang dianalisis secara kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mekanisme perceraian adat Batak Toba dilakukan melalui tahapan musyawarah keluarga dengan melibatkan unsur dalihan na tolu, dan memiliki kekuatan mengikat secara sosial dalam masyarakat adat. Namun, secara yuridis formal, perceraian tersebut tidak memiliki keabsahan hukum apabila tidak dilakukan melalui putusan pengadilan sebagaimana diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 1974. Oleh karena itu, perceraian adat hanya sah secara sosiologis, tetapi belum sah secara hukum negara. Diperlukan harmonisasi antara hukum adat dan hukum nasional agar tercipta kepastian hukum tanpa mengabaikan nilai-nilai kearifan lokal.

Digital evolution in the pattern of social interaction of the community also has a significant influence on the dynamics of the national judicial system. The transformation covers all judicial sectors, both religious and public, especially related to the technique of presenting evidence in the litigation process. This research is carried out with normative legal methods and is descriptive analytical. The author utilizes secondary data obtained through library search, which is then processed with qualitative normative analysis techniques. The legitimacy of screenshots as evidence has been explicitly regulated in applicable regulations. Referring to the renewal of the ITE Law in Law Number 1 of 2024, Article 5 paragraph (1) affirms that electronic information and its printed results are recognized as valid evidence before the law. This study shows that normatively, screenshots have a strong legal position in the civil system. However, in the reality of the trial, this instrument is positioned as a free evidence (vrij bewijs), which means that the weight of the evidence is not absolute and depends on the judge's evaluation and conviction.

Divorce gives rise to various legal consequences relating to the status of the parties, marital property, and the rights and obligations toward children, thereby requiring a legal mechanism that ensures legal certainty, justice, and legal protection. In practice, the parties often express their intention to divorce in the form of a Pre-Divorce Agreement Deed drawn up before a notary. This study aims to analyze the legal standing and evidentiary strength of a Pre-Divorce Agreement Deed as evidence in divorce cases decided by default judgment (verstek). The research employs a normative juridical method with a statutory approach and a case approach, focusing on the Decision of the Ngawi Religious Court Number 425/Pdt.G/2023, through a literature review of primary and secondary legal materials. The findings indicate that a Pre-Divorce Agreement Deed executed in the form of a notarial deed constitutes an authentic deed with perfect evidentiary value as written evidence in divorce proceedings. Although it cannot directly result in the dissolution of marriage, the deed is relevant to prove the existence of an agreement between the parties and the condition of a marital relationship that has irretrievably broken down. In cases decided by default judgment, the deed becomes an important basis for judicial consideration in granting the divorce petition. The implications of this study emphasize that a Pre-Divorce Agreement Deed may be lawfully and proportionately used as evidence to support the proof of grounds for divorce and to realize legal certainty in judicial proceedings.

Divorce often creates new problems, one of which is related to child custody and visitation rights for parents who do not have custody. Prohibiting visitation by the custodial parent not only violates the rights of the non-custodial parent, but also disregards the child's right to receive affection from both parents. The purpose of this study is to examine the types of legal protection available to non-custodial parents who are prohibited from seeing their children. This study uses a normative legal research method with a statutory approach. Data collected from interviews with legal practitioners and parties who have experienced similar problems are included in this study. The results show that prohibiting parents who have custody from meeting their children is against the law and contrary to the principle of the best interests of the child. Parents who do not have custody rights can file a lawsuit to revoke custody rights, as stipulated in SEMA No. 1 January 2017. This study emphasizes the importance of the law in balancing the rights and obligations of parents after divorce for the best interests of the child.

This paper explores the involvement of International Civil Law in the implications of foreign divorce on land rights by paying attention to the principles contained in International Civil Law. In terms of writing, the author will analyze Decision No. 19/Pdt.G/2014/PN.Sgr. as a review of facts that will be analyzed in accordance with the scope of International Civil Law using relevant research methods. The author reviews that the research method used to compile this writing is juridical-normative based on the applicable laws and regulations and in accordance with what is the subject of discussion. In addition, this paper also pays attention to the theory of legal protection by Philipus M. Hadjon and the principles contained in International Civil Law as supporting aspects in the preparation of this analysis. To strengthen the argument, the author also compares several provisions related to the status of land ownership by foreign parties and the application of pre-marriage agreements as an alternative settlement. The final result of this writing will highlight the correctness of the judge's decision based on the author's analysis and provide suggestions that are considered relevant as solutions that can be offered.

Marriage is the only way to legalize the relationship between men and women in order to realize the happiness of family life. Marriage is also a complement to the religion of Muslims. However, because marriage basically unites two different individuals, it certainly does not rule out the possibility of differences of opinion and other problems. Divorce is the last resort for a marital relationship that can no longer be maintained, divorce can occur for several reasons, including because the couple has changed religions, as contained in the Compilation of Islamic Law Article 116 letter H. Divorce certainly causes a legal consequence, one of which is the effect on children. If the divorce occurs because the wife or a mother has changed, then how is the determination of custody of a child who has not been mumayyiz. The purpose of this study is to find out the judge's considerations in determining child custody due to divorce because the couple changed religion in the decision Number 1515/Pdt.G/2015/PA.Smn. This research is a normative-empirical legal research, this research data uses secondary data consisting of primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. To complete the secondary data, interviews were also conducted with the judge at the Sleman Religious Court. Based on the results of the research and analysis that has been carried out, it can be concluded that the judge's consideration in deciding the case of determining child custody due to divorce caused by a couple converting (apostasy) at the Sleman Religious Court was given to the Applicant as his father in order to maintain the safety of his child's faith and the best interests for his child and for the sake of the child's future.

This study is based on the urgency of examining the inheritance rights of adopted children after their adoptive parents separate, examined from the perspective of Islamic law and positive regulations applicable in Indonesia. The main objective of this study is to analyze the legal status of adopted children and their inheritance rights after the adoptive parents' divorce based on both legal frameworks. The methodology used is a literature study by gathering information from various relevant references and regulations. The findings of this study indicate that under Islamic law, adopted children are not automatically entitled to inheritance, but can receive a gift, will, or mandatory will with a maximum limit of one-third of the adoptive parents' assets. Meanwhile, under Indonesian positive law, the inheritance rights of adopted children depend on the court's decision during the adoption process, and even though the adoptive parents have divorced, the inheritance rights remain recorded in accordance with the existing court decision. These findings reflect the need for legal certainty to protect the rights of adopted children and emphasize the importance of clear regulations to avoid inheritance conflicts after divorce. This study is expected to serve as a reference for policymakers and legal practitioners in addressing issues related to the inheritance rights of adopted children.

Divorce has a significant impact on a child's psychological and social development, particularly in the aspect of determining custody rights, which should prioritize the principle of the child's best interests. This study aims to analyze the balance between Islamic legal norms as stipulated in the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) and positive law in Indonesia, in cases where children under the age of 12 express a desire to live with their father after the divorce. The research approach used is a juridical-normative with a qualitative analysis method that focuses on a literature review of laws and regulations such as the KHI, the Marriage Law, the Child Protection Law, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, as well as relevant legal and jurisprudential literature. The results of the study indicate that although normatively the KHI prioritizes the mother as the caregiver of children under 12 years old, there is room for flexibility that allows the court to consider the child's wishes if it better ensures the child's welfare and safety. This approach is supported by the principle of maslahah mursalah in Islamic law, which allows adjustments for the benefit of the child. The main challenges in its implementation include the minimal involvement of professionals such as child psychologists in the evaluation process, the existence of gender stereotypes that influence judges' decisions, and emotional conflicts between parents that often override the interests of the child. Therefore, this study recommends that judicial institutions actively involve psychologists and mediators in custody proceedings, improve training for judges in understanding the psychosocial dynamics of children, and update legal guidelines so that children's wishes can be assessed objectively. Furthermore, education to the wider public about the importance of gender non-discrimination in child care is also needed so that custody decisions truly reflect the principles of comprehensive child protection and welfare.

The research approach used is qualitative with a case study at the Class I-A Religious Court of Medan. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation of the court and community leaders. The results of the study indicate that economic factors, prolonged conflict, domestic violence (KDRT), and forced marriage are the dominant causes of the high divorce rate.

Penelitian ini membahas sengketa peralihan hak atas harta bersama tanpa persetujuan salah satu pihak dalam kasus perceraian, sebagaimana terjadi pada Putusan PA No. 1990/Pdt.G/2023/PA.Pml. Adapun rumusan masalah yang diangkat adalah: 1) bagaimana pengaturan hukum mengenai peralihan hak atas harta bersama dalam peraturan perundang-undangan Indonesia, 2) bagaimana pertimbangan hukum hakim dalam memutuskan sah atau tidaknya peralihan hak atas harta bersama tanpa persetujuan suami dalam kasus perceraian, dan 3) bagaimana implikasi hukum dari peralihan hak tanpa persetujuan suami dalam kasus tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis normatif, dengan pendekatan peraturan perundang-undangan dan studi kasus, khususnya Putusan Pengadilan Agama Pemalang Nomor 1990/Pdt.G/2023/PA.Pml. Data diperoleh dari sumber sekunder dan dianalisis secara deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peralihan hak atas harta bersama diatur dalam Pasal 35 dan 36 UU No. 1 Tahun 1974 tentang Perkawinan, yang mensyaratkan persetujuan kedua belah pihak. Jika persetujuan tidak ada, pengalihan hak dianggap tidak sah dan dapat dibatalkan. Hal ini ditegaskan dalam Pasal 1320 KUHPerdata serta Pasal 97 Kompilasi Hukum Islam (KHI) yang mengatur hak atas harta bersama setelah perceraian. Dalam kasus ini, pengadilan membatalkan tindakan istri yang mengalihkan hak tanpa persetujuan suami, mengembalikan status harta sebagai milik bersama, dan mewajibkan pihak ketiga yang menerima harta untuk mengembalikannya atau memberikan kompensasi.

Persoalan mengenai pembagian harta bersama pasca-perceraian masih dianggap tabu di tengah masyarakat, khususnya bagi pasangan suami istri yang telah bercerai. Rendahnya pemahaman terhadap ketentuan hukum mengenai harta bersama sering kali menyebabkan sulitnya pelaksanaan putusan pengadilan, yang pada akhirnya menimbulkan konflik karena pembagian yang dianggap tidak adil atau tidak sesuai kesepakatan. Penelitian ini mengangkat tiga rumusan masalah: (1) bagaimana ketentuan hukum mengenai harta bersama dan harta bawaan setelah perceraian; (2) bagaimana pertimbangan hukum hakim dalam Putusan Nomor 3067/Pdt.G/2021/PA.Bbs; dan (3) apa akibat hukum dari putusan tersebut terhadap pembagian harta bersama. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis normatif dengan spesifikasi deskriptif analitis dengan mengkaji peraturan perundang-undangan, literatur hukum, dan putusan pengadilan terkait. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembagian harta bersama telah diatur dalam Undang-Undang Perkawinan, KUH Perdata, dan Kompilasi Hukum Islam. Pasal 35 Undang-Undang Perkawinan menyatakan bahwa harta yang diperoleh selama perkawinan merupakan harta bersama, kecuali ditentukan lain melalui perjanjian pranikah atau pascaperkawinan. Dalam Putusan Nomor 3067/Pdt.G/2021/PA.Bbs, hakim membagi harta bersama secara proporsional, masing-masing pihak memperoleh ½ bagian berdasarkan alat bukti dan fakta yang terungkap di persidangan. Putusan ini menimbulkan akibat hukum yang signifikan, terutama dalam menentukan hak kepemilikan atas harta bersama yang diperoleh selama masa perkawinan.

The practice of divorce without going through a formal court process, commonly referred to as informal or unregistered divorce, remains prevalent in Indonesian society despite clear regulations outlined in Law Number 1 of 1974 on Marriage. This paper aims to examine the legal dimensions of such practices and explore the social and psychological impacts, particularly on children. Findings indicate that divorces conducted outside the legal framework not only violate national laws but also often result in disadvantages for vulnerable parties, especially women and children. In Islamic teachings, while divorce is permissible, it is considered the most detested lawful act by Allah and should only be pursued after all efforts at reconciliation have failed. National legal provisions echo this perspective by emphasizing mediation and the principle of justice as primary steps in resolving marital disputes. This alignment reflects a harmony between religious norms and state law. Therefore, public awareness of proper legal procedures for divorce needs to be enhanced to protect individual rights and preserve family stability. Strengthening legal education and premarital counseling are effective preventive strategies in this regard.  

Mixed marriages between Indonesian citizens (WNI) and foreign nationals (WNA) often give rise to legal issues, particularly in divorce cases involving the division of marital property. A key challenge arises from the restriction on land ownership for foreign nationals under the Basic Agrarian Law. This study examines Decision Number 146/Pdt.G/2021/PA.Dps, in which an Indonesian wife was accused of extortion against her foreign husband in the context of a mixed marriage divorce. Using a normative juridical method and a descriptive-analytical approach, the study finds that the wife’s act of withholding her husband’s documents does not constitute extortion, but rather a form of self-protection due to the husband's failure to provide financial support. The findings emphasize that the division of marital assets in mixed marriages must consider the provisions of the Marriage Law, the Compilation of Islamic Law for Muslim couples, and the Basic Agrarian Law, especially regarding land ownership by foreign nationals. Therefore, resolving property disputes in mixed marriages requires a careful legal approach to ensure compliance with applicable laws.  

This study examines the practice of marital property division at the Sibolga Religious Court due to divorce caused by the husband's religious conversion. The phenomenon of divorce due to religious differences, especially religious conversion from Islam, creates legal complexities, particularly in determining rights and obligations related to marital property. This study employs a qualitative approach with an empirical legal research type, located at the Sibolga Religious Court. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews with judges, court clerks, and parties involved in the cases, as well as document studies of court decisions. The results indicate that the Sibolga Religious Court has absolute authority in handling divorce cases due to the husband's religious conversion and the division of marital property within them. Despite the religious conversion, the principles of Islamic marital property law (syirkah) remain the primary basis, considering the contribution of each party. Challenges include the complexity of proving contributions, often emotional negotiations between parties, and judges' efforts to achieve substantive justice. The implications of the decisions not only involve legal aspects but also social and psychological ones for the families. This study recommends the need for broader legal socialization regarding rights and obligations in interfaith marriages and increased public understanding of marital property dispute resolution procedures.

Penelitian ini berjudul "Analisis Kekerasan dalam Rumah Tangga sebagai Alasan Yuridis Cerai Gugat (Studi Kasus di Pengadilan Agama Kwandang)". Tujuan penelitian adalah menganalisis implementasi ketentuan hukum terkait kekerasan dalam rumah tangga (KDRT) sebagai dasar cerai gugat, serta mempertimbangkan faktor-faktor penyebab perceraian yang menjadi alasan yuridis di Pengadilan Agama Kwandang. Metode yang digunakan adalah yuridis empiris (socio-legal research), yaitu dengan menelaah peraturan perundang-undangan dan penerapannya di masyarakat melalui studi putusan pengadilan dan wawancara dengan hakim. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa KDRT merupakan alasan sah untuk cerai gugat dan memiliki dasar hukum yang kuat. Ketentuan perundang-undangan secara komprehensif telah mengatur KDRT sebagai alasan gugatan cerai. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan harmonisasi regulasi antara UU Perkawinan, PP No. 9 Tahun 1975, UU PKDRT, dan KHI guna memberikan kepastian hukum yang lebih jelas. Selain itu, diperlukan layanan pendampingan psikologis dan hukum bagi korban KDRT serta prosedur khusus yang lebih cepat dan sederhana dalam menangani perkara cerai karena KDRT agar perlindungan terhadap korban menjadi lebih efektif.  

Marriage is a spiritual and physical bond between one man and one woman as husband and wife with the aim of forming a happy family based on the belief in the Almighty God. In a marriage, forming a happy family certainly requires cooperation between each party, both husband and wife. If both parties have different goals, it will trigger problems in the household. Problems in the household can influence divorce between both parties, namely husband and wife.  Divorce is a condition in the household where there is no common ground for harmony and harmony in the relationship between husband and wife so that it can be decided by the District Court for those of non-Islamic religions or the Religious Court for those of Islamic religion. Considering that Indonesia is a country of law where every action has rules, if seen from the principle of Nebis In Idem, this problem is no longer acceptable. However, in this divorce case the lawsuit was accepted by the judge and the judge decided again with a different decision. Based on this, the formulation of the problem is how to apply the Ne Bis In Idem Principle by the judge in divorce cases

Marriage is a sacred agreement in human life, although some marriages also fail and end in divorce. However, this divorce does not only stop at the end of the relationship between the two parties. But more than that, the problem of separation of joint property also often becomes a new problem after divorce. This study then aimed to review the implementation of divorce and division of property arising from marriage according to Law Number 16 of 2019 concerning Amendments to Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage. The research method used is normative, with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The results of the study showed that the legal basis for joint property is contained in Chapter VII Article 35 to Article 37 of Law Number 16 of 2019 concerning Amendments to Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage. Based on this law, the path to division of joint property is divided through several mechanisms, namely based on religious law, based on customary law, and based on other laws. Compared to Law Number 1 of 1974, Law Number 16 of 2019 provides more detailed and modern regulations regarding joint property compared to previous provisions. Overall, according to Law Number 16 of 2019, the authority to settle the division of joint property arising from marriage involves the court in deciding fairly based on applicable law. The court has the responsibility to ensure that the division of property is carried out with the principle of justice, taking into account the contribution of each party and their needs and economic circumstances. In the case of mediation or agreements outside the court, the court still has the authority to assess and ensure that the decisions taken are in accordance with applicable legal provisions.  

This research aims to analyze the concept and implications of nusyuz's actions in divorce cases in the Religious Courts. Nusyuz is defined as a wife's defiance of her obligations to her husband. Nusyuz is also often the basis for filing divorce lawsuits, especially divorce petitions for divorce by the husband. This study examines how nusyuz actions are taken into consideration by Religious Court judges in deciding divorce cases, as well as their impact on the wife's rights, such as those related to iddah liaving, mut'ah living, and child custody. By using normative juridical methods based on analysis of direct trials and court decisions, this research finds that nusyuz actions have significant legal consequences for wives, especially in terms of living and other rights after divorce. However, there are also variations in the judge's assessment of the evidence of nusyuz's actions, which has implications for the final outcome of the divorce case.
