Abstract

This study aims to investigate efforts to preserve traditional Chinese marriages through marriage legalization in the city of Cirebon, Indonesia. The study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive type of research because it is to minimize changes in attitudes from the millennial generation that can cause the loss of traditions and cultural heritage of ancestors regarding customary marriage. The population studied was ethnic Chinese who are members of the Chinese Ethnic Social Clan, both traditionally and nationally. Data analysis was carried out using the content analysis method, using concepts from structural functionalism theory and social change theory as the framework of analysis. The results of the research show that marriages that are not registered can still be submitted for registration, even though they have exceeded the maximum limit (60 days) as long as a court decision in the form of a determination of marriage registration is obtained first. The validity of marriage is also studied from the theory of structural functionalalism. This research contributes to preserving cultural heritage by addressing the legal recognition of customarily married marriage in the Chinese ethnic community. The government needs to issue provisions that regulate the issue of the marriage registration mechanism due to the delay in marriage registration so that couples who have been married and have not been recorded get legal certainty that protects the validity of their marriage, especially regarding the status of children.

Abstract

The rejection of the marriage itsbat application directly impacts the legal status of the child born, as the parents' marriage is not legally, religiously, or customarily recognized. This study aims to analyze the legal consequences of the rejection on the child's position and examine the determination of the child's origin as a form of legal protection. Using a normative juridical approach, this study analyzes legal materials related to the status of children born from sirri marriages. The results of the study show that children born from sirri marriages only have a legal relationship with their mother. Moreover, if the itsbat application is rejected, the child will not be recognized as the legitimate child of their biological father. This has consequences on the child's access to administrative, inheritance, and guardianship rights. Remarriage also does not alter the child's position because, according to Islamic law, the sirri marriage is invalid and thus rejected by itsbat. As a result, the child remains an out-of-wedlock child. The determination of origin by the court is an alternative protection that allows the inclusion of the biological father's name in the population document and provides limited space for the child's civil rights. These limitations are also reaffirmed in the Fatwa of the Indonesian Ulema Council, which states that the biological father's obligation is limited to providing living support and a mandatory will. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of determining origin as an instrument for the legal protection of children in the national legal system, especially regarding the rejection of the marriage itsbat application.

Abstract

This study examines the legal certainty of the roya konsen deed as an administrative instrument in the process of crossing out dependent rights when the Certificate of Dependent Rights is lost. Land administration requires legal certainty to ensure orderly registration, protection of rights, and accuracy of juridical land data. In practice, the loss of the Certificate of Dependent Rights often creates obstacles in the roya process, encouraging the use of the roya konsen deed as a substitute administrative document. The purpose of this research is to analyze the legal position and legitimacy of the roya konsen deed in the implementation of roya and to assess its conformity with the principle of legal certainty in the land law system. This study employed an empirical legal research method with a sociological juridical approach. Data were obtained through literature studies, legal document analysis, and interviews with employees of the Cirebon City Land Office and notaries involved in drafting roya konsen deeds. The findings indicate that the roya konsen deed functions as an authentic deed with strong evidentiary value that supports administrative certainty in land registration practices. However, the deed does not possess executorial power equivalent to the Certificate of Dependent Rights and lacks explicit normative regulation within statutory law. The study concludes that the roya konsen deed has practical effectiveness in maintaining land administration order, but stronger normative legitimacy through Ministerial Regulation is necessary to ensure legal certainty, procedural uniformity, and administrative consistency in roya services.
