Abstract

Decision Number 183/Pdt.G/2023/PA.Mbl and Number 547/Pdt.G/2023/PA.Utj has paved the way for expanding the implementation of obligatory bequest by granting the inheritance to the unregistered wife in a polygamous marriage. Stepchildren, non-Muslim heirs, and biological children born outside of a registered marriage are forms of expansion of the obligatory bequest regulated in the nomenclature of jurisprudence or the Circular of the Supreme Court (SEMA). This article is qualitative, with a normative and empirical juridical approach to finding legal justice through the path of maqāṣid al-sharī'a. The results of the study show that judges, to realize legal justice, have expanded the implementation of the obligatory bequest by granting the heir's property to the unregistered wife of a polygamous marriage. The researcher offers five criteria for granting an obligatory bequest to the unregistered wife. First, the unregistered polygamous marriage is known to the legally registered wife. Second, the rights and obligations between husband and wife have been implemented. Third, the time of obtaining the inherited property. Fourth, the maximum limit for obtaining inheritance property does not exceed the registered wife's share.  Fifth, the psychological factor between husband and wife has been well established.

Abstract

This paper examines the legal certainty aspects of marriage registration regulations in Indonesia. The controversy over whether or not a marriage is lawful without registration is still ongoing, depending on how Article 2 of Act No. 1/1974 regulating marriage is interpreted. The research method used in writing this paper is a literature study with normative legal research and descriptive analysis. Using the legal certainty aspect approach, the author analyzes various laws and regulations regarding marriage registration objectively. According to the findings of this study, the Marriage Act requires that every marriage be documented or registered by the marriage registration officer. However, Presidential Regulation (PERPRES) Number 96 of 2018 and Minister of Home Affairs Regulation (PERMENDAGRI) Number 9 of 2016 provide an alternative for those whose marriages have not been documented to create various population administrations by attaching a Statement of Absolute Responsibility (SPTJM). These two contradicting requirements have generated legal uncertainty in Indonesian marriage registration.
