Abstract

Human nature, being composed of different genders—men and women—naturally drives the attraction and union through marriage, fulfilling the desire to live together. As outlined in Article 1 of Marriage Law No. 1 of 1974, marriage is a physical and emotional bond between a man and a woman as husband and wife, intended to establish a happy and lasting family founded on the principles of God Almighty. Marriage, therefore, holds religious significance, uniting a man and a woman as husband and wife. This study examines the Supreme Court’s decision prohibiting court rulings on interfaith marriages. Using normative research methods, the study analyzes Article 2, Paragraph 1 of the Marriage Law, which states that a marriage is valid if conducted according to the laws of each religion and belief. In response to ongoing debates and increasing pressure due to granted applications for interfaith marriage registration by district courts, the Supreme Court of Indonesia issued Supreme Court Circular Letter No. 2 of 2023. This circular guides judges in adjudicating interfaith marriage applications. The issuance of the circular aims to resolve the controversy surrounding interfaith marriages, which have led to various legal and social issues. Previously, judges based their decisions on Law No. 23 of 2006 on Population Administration, leading to the approval of interfaith marriage applications. However, with SEMA No. 2 of 2023, a clear directive has been established to prevent legal uncertainty and ensure uniformity in court rulings regarding interfaith marriages.

Abstract

Pengakuan masyarakat hukum adat dan tanah adat di Indonesia merupakan isu strategis dalam reformasi hukum agraria yang berkaitan erat dengan keadilan sosial, konflik tanah, dan kesejahteraan masyarakat adat. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis efektivitas pengakuan hukum terhadap tanah adat serta implikasinya secara multidimensional. Metodologi yang digunakan adalah penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan peraturan perundang-undangan, pendekatan kasus, dan pendekatan perbandingan, yang didukung analisis teoritik dan data empiris. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun pengakuan masyarakat hukum adat telah diatur dalam konstitusi dan berbagai undang-undang, implementasinya masih bersifat formal dan prosedural. Disharmoni antara Undang-Undang Pokok Agraria, Undang-Undang Kehutanan, serta mekanisme administratif pasca putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi menyebabkan ketidakpastian hukum dan konflik agraria. Analisis teoritik menggunakan teori hukum pengakuan, teori sistem hukum Werner Menski, dan economic analysis of law menunjukkan bahwa dominasi hukum negara menyebabkan kegagalan integrasi dengan hukum adat, meningkatnya biaya transaksi, serta inefisiensi dalam pengelolaan sumber daya. Data empiris dari kasus di Kalimantan, Papua, dan Aceh menunjukkan bahwa pengakuan yang tidak substantif memperlemah keamanan tenurial dan kesejahteraan masyarakat adat. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa diperlukan pergeseran menuju pengakuan berbasis komunitas yang lebih substantif, integratif, dan efisien. Implikasinya, diperlukan reformasi mekanisme pengakuan Masyarakat Hukum Adat melalui penyederhanaan dan standardisasi proses verifikasi serta penetapan, perubahan prosedur administratif lintas sektor agar lebih cepat, partisipatif, dan akuntabel, serta integrasi data pertanahan, kehutanan, dan wilayah adat dalam satu basis data yang terpadu untuk menciptakan sistem pengakuan tanah adat yang berkeadilan dan berkelanjutan.

Abstract

Restorative justice has become an important paradigm in contemporary criminal justice reform, particularly in societies with strong customary legal traditions. This study examines how restorative justice can be strengthened through Indonesian customary law within the context of recent criminal law reform. The research aims to analyze the relationship between restorative justice principles and customary dispute resolution and to propose an institutional framework that integrates these mechanisms within the formal criminal justice system. This study applies a qualitative socio-legal approach combining normative legal analysis, restorative justice theory, and comparative legal perspectives. Legal pluralism is used as the analytical framework to examine interactions between customary institutions and state criminal justice mechanisms. Data are drawn from statutory regulations, academic literature, and documented practices of customary dispute resolution in Indonesia. The findings show that many Indonesian customary legal traditions already embody restorative justice principles, including mediation, reconciliation, restitution, and community participation. These practices emphasize restoring social harmony rather than imposing punitive sanctions. However, significant institutional gaps remain between customary dispute resolution and formal criminal justice procedures. The study identifies the need for legal recognition of customary settlements, coordination between community leaders and legal authorities, and procedural safeguards to ensure fairness and compliance with constitutional and human rights standards. The study concludes that integrating customary restorative mechanisms within Indonesia’s criminal justice reform can enhance legal legitimacy, cultural relevance, and the effectiveness of restorative justice policies.
