Abstract

This study examines the paradigm shift in criminal procedure law, moving from an offender-centered focus toward the restoration of victim rights through restitution mechanisms. Article 101 of the old Criminal Procedure is considered to have failed in providing effective justice because it positioned compensation as an "accessory" claim subject to civil procedure. This placed the burden of independent proof on the victim and resulted in court orders that were difficult to execute. Using normative legal research with a conceptual approach, this study analyzes the urgency of Law No. 20 of 2025 (the New Criminal Procedure Code), effective as of January 2, 2026. The results indicate that Articles 183-192 of the New Criminal Procedure Code carry out a significant transformation by fully integrating restitution into the criminal justice system. This innovation shifts the burden of proof to the Public Prosecutor and provides enforcement power through substitute imprisonment for offenders who refuse to pay. This procedural transformation cuts through the complexity of judicial bureaucracy and guarantees legal certainty and substantive recovery of victim rights. This arrangement serves as a solution to the legal vacuum and the ineffectiveness of the old mechanism, particularly in ordinary criminal cases, to realize comprehensive restorative justice.

Abstract

Marital property separation agreements are governed by Article 29 of Law Number 1 of 1974 on Marriage and Articles 139–148 of the Indonesian Civil Code, which originally restricted their execution to the period prior to marriage. The issuance of Constitutional Court Decision Number 69/PUU-XIII/2015, however, permits postnuptial amendments with court approval, thereby generating legal uncertainty regarding the legal status of marital assets and inconsistencies in judicial decisions. This study aims to examine the legal status of joint property acquired prior to the amendment of a marital agreement following the Constitutional Court’s decision and to analyze the legal implications of amendments or annulments of marital agreements on the position and distribution of marital property. This research employs a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, conducted through library research of primary legal materials, including marriage legislation, the Civil Code, and relevant court decisions, as well as secondary and tertiary legal materials. The data are analyzed qualitatively using a descriptive-analytical approach. The results indicate that marital property acquired prior to the amendment of a marital agreement is subject to prospective application and does not have retroactive effect, thereby maintaining its original legal status in accordance with the principle of legal certainty. Furthermore, the study underscores the necessity of implementing regulations to ensure uniformity in notarial and judicial practices and to promote distributive and corrective justice.
