Abstract

Supreme Court Verdict No. 179 K/Sip/ 1961 states that son and daughter have equal portion of inheritance. Then, the Supreme Court Verdict No. 100 K/Sip/1967 stated that  a widow is the recipient of her deceased husband’s legacy. The research formulates the following questions; What is the status of a daughter and widow in relation to the inheritance of her parent/ husband legacy in Karo communities after the Supreme Court Verdict No. 179 K/Sip/ 1961 and Supreme Court Verdict No. 100 K/Sip/ 1967 that have been implemented? How does the inheritance law develop recently? These questions will be addressed empirically by a descriptive analytical method. The shift of adat inheritance law occurs post Supreme Court Verdict No. 179 K/Sip/ 1961 which puts the equal right for both son and daughter. Besides, the post Supreme Court Verdict No. 100 K/Sip/ 1967 states the widow is the recipient of her deceased husband’s legacy.Keywords  : Karo adat inheritance law, daughter/widow, Supreme Court Verdict
