Abstract

The Suspension of Debt Payment Obligations as a debt restructuring instrument under Law No. 37/2004 on Bankruptcy and Suspension of Debt Payment Obligations faces procedural challenges in petition revocation practices, potentially disrupting the balance of rights between Debtors and Creditors. This study analyzes inconsistencies in the application of Article 259 of the Bankruptcy Law in revocation cases, particularly concerning creditor participation mechanisms and adherence to due process principles. An examination of Indonesian case law reveals judicial tendencies to disregard collective creditor notification and hearing requirements, alongside truncated debt verification processes prior to revocation. Key findings demonstrate that the absence of objective revocation criteria in the Bankruptcy Law contributes to judicial decision disparities. The study concludes with three systemic reform recommendations: (1) integration of measurable legal parameters for Suspension of Debt Payment Obligations revocation, (2) enhanced judicial oversight in verifying economic impacts on creditors, and (3) temporal restrictions on revocation proceedings. These findings underscore the urgent need to align the Bankruptcy Law with global best practices in debtor rehabilitation and creditor protection through independent oversight mechanisms and audited financial evidence standards.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the ex officio authority of judges and the ultra petita principle in divorce cases in Religious Courts, as well as their implications for the protection of women's and children's rights. The background of this study is based on the fact that divorce cases in Indonesia continue to increase annually, but only a small proportion of decisions contain the determination of women's and children's rights after divorce without a request from the litigants. This study uses a normative legal research method with a statutory, case, and conceptual approach. Data sources consist of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials, analyzed using description, interpretation, evaluation, and systematization techniques. The results show that ex officio authority is an important instrument held by judges to protect the rights of vulnerable parties in divorce cases, such as determining iddah (waiting period), mut'ah (waiting for temporary dowry), child custody, and child living expenses. However, its application often clashes with the ultra petita principle, which limits judges from deciding cases beyond what the parties request. The tension between these two principles leads to inconsistent decisions, which impacts on the suboptimal protection of women's and children's rights. This study concludes that there is a need to harmonize ex officio authority and the ultra petita principle through clear technical guidelines and training for judges, so that substantive justice and legal certainty can be achieved in a balanced manner. Recommendations include strengthening judges' understanding of the protection of vulnerable groups, utilizing socio-economic data in decisions, and consistent application of ex officio authority across all Religious Courts.

Abstract

The high divorce rate in Indonesia, particularly within the religious courts, has drawn serious scrutiny in the practice of family law enforcement. The most dominant grounds for divorce, namely persistent disputes and arguments, are often presented with weak and subjective evidence, potentially creating legal uncertainty and injustice for certain parties, particularly women. To address this issue, the Supreme Court issued Supreme Court Circular Letter (SEMA) Number 3 of 2023, which tightens the requirements for granting a divorce petition on the grounds of persistent disputes, through a new formulation requiring two cumulative elements: first, proven inability to live in harmony between husband and wife, and second, a minimum of six months of separation of residence, unless domestic violence (DV) is proven. This study aims to examine the Ratio legis of the issuance of SEMA 3 of 2023 and its implications for the fulfillment of substantive justice in divorce cases in the Religious Courts. Using a normative juridical approach with qualitative analysis methods, this study examines related laws and regulations, legal literature, and theories of justice and legal certainty. The research findings indicate that SEMA 3 of 2023 plays a significant role in normatively unifying evidentiary standards and emphasizing judges' prudence in deciding divorce cases. However, in practice, these provisions can also create barriers to access to justice for economically, socially, and psychologically vulnerable parties, particularly in proving separation and domestic violence. Therefore, the fulfillment of substantive justice through the implementation of SEMA is highly dependent on judges' sensitivity in understanding the factual realities of households and their ability to interpret norms progressively, flexibly, and contextually.

Abstract

Marriage is a spiritual and physical bond between a man and a woman to form a family that is peaceful, loving, and merciful. However, not all marriages are harmonious and lasting. Data from the Religious Courts shows that the most common reason for divorce in Indonesia is persistent disputes and quarrels. This study aims to analyze the legal provisions related to these reasons, as stipulated in Article 116 letter (f) of the Compilation of Islamic Law and Article 19 letter (f) of Government Regulation No. 9 of 1975, as well as the implementation and development of their formulation through SEMA Number 3 of 2023. In practice, judges have the freedom to assess whether a household conflict has met the requirements of "continuous" and "no hope of reconciliation" to be the basis for a divorce decision. This study shows that economic factors, poor communication, and the presence of a third party contribute to these dominant reasons for divorce. Therefore, strengthening regulations and understanding judges is important to maintain a sense of justice for the parties.

Abstract

Conversion to religion (apostasy) in Islamic marriage is a complex phenomenon that gives rise to debate between legal norms and social reality. In the context of Indonesian national law, apostasy has not been explicitly regulated in Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage. This legal gap is filled by the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), which, in Article 116 letter (h), stipulates that conversion to religion or apostasy can be grounds for divorce. However, in religious court practice, there is a disparity in decisions between courts that interpret apostasy as grounds for fasakh (annulment) and those that interpret it as grounds for divorce (talaq). This disparity has legal implications for women's rights after divorce, particularly regarding the right to maintenance during the iddah period, mut'ah, maskan, and kiswah. This study aims to explain the position of a wife who apostatizes as a cause of marital dissolution from the perspective of the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) and analyze its legal consequences for post-divorce rights. The method used is normative legal research with a statutory, conceptual, and analytical approach. The results of the study indicate that a wife who apostatizes causes the marriage contract to be annulled (fasakh), but in practice, religious courts often still process it through the divorce mechanism (divorce talak) to ensure orderly legal administration. This disparity impacts the different treatment of the rights of apostate wives. From the perspective of legal utility, judges should consider the value of substantive justice and protection for women, even if the woman concerned has left Islam.

Abstract

This study aims to critically analyze the provisions of Article 97 of the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) in the context of the division of joint assets after divorce, emphasizing the need for legal reform that prioritizes the principle of substantive justice. The main issues examined include the extent to which these provisions reflect the principle of substantive justice and how Article 97 of the KHI is implemented in religious court practice. The research method used is normative juridical with a statutory, conceptual, and case-based approach. The results show that Article 97 of the KHI is still oriented towards rigid arithmetic equality and does not consider the actual contributions, both material and immaterial, of each party. In judicial practice, a number of judges have implemented progressive interpretations of this norm, which opens up space for the reformulation of Islamic family law in Indonesia. Therefore, this study recommends normative reform of Article 97 of the KHI to include provisions that explicitly accommodate proportional division of assets, as well as implementing steps in the form of training on a substantive justice perspective for judges.

Abstract

This study examines the form of legal protection for apartment buyers through the pre-project selling (PPS) system that uses an underhand sale and purchase agreement (PPJB), a practice that is commonly carried out before the administrative and technical requirements as stipulated in the Apartment Law are fulfilled. The objectives of this study are to analyze the position and evidentiary strength of private PPJBs, the scope of developer liability in the event of default, and to assess whether the waarmerking mechanism is capable of providing adequate protection for consumers. Using a normative juridical research method through a legislative and analytical approach, this study assesses the gap between normative provisions and PPS practices in the field. The results of the study show that private PPJBs, although valid according to Article 1320 of the Civil Code, do not provide legal certainty because they are not verified by a notary and are often used before the fulfillment of permits and construction guarantees, thereby weakening the bargaining position of consumers in the event of project stalling or delays. This study concludes that the normative vacuum in Article 43 of the Apartment Law and the absence of sanctions against non-notarial PPJB create structural vulnerabilities, thus requiring regulatory strengthening, notarial PPJB obligations, and more effective preventive protection mechanisms.
