Abstract

This study aims to analyze the legal certainty in determining heirs of different religions and its implications in the issuance of a Certificate of Inheritance (SKW) in the Indonesian legal system. The problem of interfaith inheritance creates a dilemma between the normative provisions of Islamic inheritance law that prohibit inheritance between parties of different religions and the demands of justice in a pluralistic society. Normatively, the Compilation of Islamic Law emphasizes that religious differences are a barrier to inheritance, so that non-Muslim heirs do not have the right to inherit from Muslim heirs. However, in judicial practice, the Supreme Court through its jurisprudence provides a solution through the mechanism of mandatory wills to bridge the tension between legal certainty and substantive justice. This study uses a normative juridical research method with a statutory regulatory approach and a case approach, particularly through an analysis of court decisions related to interfaith inheritance. The results of the study indicate that the certainty of determining heirs of different religions is not only determined by written legal norms, but also by the development of jurisprudence that provides legal protection for non-Muslim heirs through mandatory wills. The implications of issuing a SKW place notaries in a limited position, namely, merely formalizing legal facts based on court rulings and not having the authority to determine the status of heirs. Therefore, notaries are required to exercise prudence and ensure that every deed they create complies with applicable law to ensure its legal validity

Abstract

This study examines the legal issues of divorce in the context of domestic conflict triggered by religious conversion within Islam, which has not been explicitly regulated as a ground for divorce in Indonesian positive law. The study focuses on how the open-textured norm of Article 116 letter (f) of the Compilation of Islamic Law is interpreted in judicial practice, and its implications for legal certainty. The research method used is normative juridical with a statutory, conceptual, and case-based approach, to analyze the adequacy of the norm and the construction of its application by judges. The results of the discussion indicate that religious conversion cannot be used as a direct reason for divorce, but is only relevant if it causes continuous disputes and quarrels that impact household disharmony. However, the absence of operational parameters in the norm leaves room for judicial discretion and has the potential to lead to inconsistent decisions. Therefore, strengthening through the formulation of operational parameters that can guide judges' assessments in a more structured manner, including by adopting a preventive approach that considers early indications of conflict. These parameters include aspects of conflict escalation, ideological depth, impact on family function, and the possibility of disharmony rationally. Theoretically, this construction aligns with the principles of legal certainty and progressive law that is responsive to social dynamics. For implementation, these parameters should ideally be formulated in a Supreme Court Regulation as an interpretive guideline to improve the consistency, predictability, and quality of decisions in the religious courts
