Abstract

Extramarital-children refer to children who are born outside the marriage. The position extramarital-children are legally vulnerable and therefore needs attention. The Constitutional Court Decision No. 46/PUU- VIII/2010 recognizes the legal status of extramarital children against their biological fathers as long as their genetic relationship can be proven by way of DNA testing and supported with other evidence. This study aims to examine the inheritance right of the extramarital-children, especially after the issuance of the mentioned Constitutional Court Decision. This normative legal research employs statutory, case and comparative approaches.  Although the focus of this study is more on the legal development in Indonesia, however, this paper also provides a comparative analysis with some other countries, especially with regard to the utilization of the DNA Testing for legal purposes. The results show that the Constitutional Court Decision No. 46/PUU-VII/2020 does not address the inheritance right of extramarital-children and therefore they cannot inherit each other from their biological fathers. In regard to inheritance, this issue will be referred to the existing law of inheritance.

Abstract

This article analyzes aspects of family law in terms of inheritance of extramarital-children, from legality to implementation, and the role of judicial institutions in protecting the inheritance rights of extramarital-children who have the status of legal children after the Constitutional Court Decision No. 46/PUU-VIII/2010, whose existence was rejected by their biological father. An out-of-wedlock child designated as a legal child is entitled to civil rights from his father, ensuring the fulfillment of the rights of extramarital-children is the responsibility of the parents, governments, and the state. The purpose of this article is to raise awareness and optimize the implementation of the protection of the inheritance rights of extramarital-children who have been determined as legal children by the court as parties. This article uses normative research by referencing several inheritance laws and regulations in force in Indonesia and factual facts. Two approaches are used, the statutory and conceptual, to obtain the desired research results. The findings showed that extramarital-children who were not recognized by the biological father did not have the right to inherit with the biological father as well as the father's family because they did not have a sexual relationship. The Constitutional Court decision only provides space for the recognition of extramarital-children, but the issue of inheritance is returned to the inheritance law in force in Indonesia. Because of their weak position, extramarital-children must be given protection to ensure the fulfillment of children's rights through the provision of mandatory wills from fathers who do not recognize them.
