Abstract

This research examines the application of the concept of undue influence (misbruik van omstandigheden) as an indication for the cancellation of the transfer of rights in Indonesian civil law, specifically through an analysis of Surakarta District Court Decision Number 186/Pdt.G/2024/Pn Skt. Although not explicitly regulated in Indonesian Civil Code, this concept has gained judicial recognition through court decisions and jurisprudence. Undue influence occurs when an agreement is formed under conditions of disparity, where one party takes advantages of the economic or psychological weakness of the other party to obtain unfair benefits. This research uses a normative legal research method with a conceptual approach, examining secondary data through a literature study consisting of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The data analysis was conducted qualitatively through the stages of data reduction, data representation, and conclusion making. The result of the study show that the concept of undue influence is applied in Indonesian civil law based on open contract law system, the principles of freedom of contract and good faith, as well as the doctrine of unlawful acts. In decision number 186/Pdt.G/2024/Pn Skt, the judges identified five elements of undue influence, including circumstances that weaken the position of the plaintiffs, an unequal power relationship, exploitation of the circumstances by the defendant, lack of freedom of will, and conflict with decency, justice, and humanity.

Abstract

The economic exploitation of children by parents reflects social inequalities and weak legal protections for vulnerable groups in Indonesia, exacerbated by poverty, low education levels, and inadequate state oversight in the informal sector. This study aims to analyze the criminal liability of parents for the economic exploitation of children based on Indonesian positive law, including the Child Protection Law and the Criminal Code (KUHP 1946 and KUHP 2023), as well as identify gaps between legal norms and their implementation. The research employs a normative juridical approach with a statutory approach, utilizing secondary legal materials such as laws, doctrines, and relevant literature, analyzed through qualitative-descriptive methods. The results indicate that regulations prohibiting the economic exploitation of children align with the principles of child protection in Indonesia's legal system, which is vertically harmonious from the Constitution to sectoral regulations, and consistent with international instruments like the CRC and ILO Conventions. However, the criminal liability of parents is strongly based on the Child Protection Law (Articles 76I and 88) and Criminal Code provisions on participation, with theories such as strict liability and vicarious liability applicable. Despite a strong normative framework, law enforcement is hindered by low legal awareness, permissive culture, and narrow interpretations of exploitation. In conclusion, although legal norms effectively criminalize exploitation by parents, practical implementation requires stricter enforcement, consistent interpretations prioritizing the best interests of the child, and social policies to address root causes, to ensure substantive child protection
