Abstract

Indigenous societies' social interactions are governed by customary law, which has a major impact on cultural identity. Conflicts between local customs and the standardized elements of positive law make it difficult to integrate customary marriage rules into Indonesia's national legal system. Indonesia acknowledges the importance of customary law, yet there is still inconsistency when it comes to marital customs and other areas where it is included in national laws. The goals of this research are twofold: first, to understand how positive law in Indonesia interacts with customary marital law, and second, to find ways to bring these two systems together in a way that promotes inclusivity, justice, and cultural diversity. This study utilizes a normative juridical method by conducting qualitative and comparative analyses of pertinent literature, legal concepts, and legislation. The article looks at marriage legislation from both a positive and traditional perspective, comparing and contrasting the two. In particular, the results show that there are substantial obstacles to bringing traditional marriage regulations into line with modern legal norms in the areas of marriage registration, gender equality, and the age of consent. The research suggests a mechanism for incorporating Indonesia's traditional marriage rules into the country's formal legal framework, with the goals of protecting cultural values and promoting social justice and human rights. Insights from this study may help academics, legal professionals, and legislators make national law more welcoming and sensitive to other cultures.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the legal protection of the rights of children in conflict with the law, particularly in preventing power intervention within the juvenile criminal justice system in Indonesia. The background of this research is based on the prevalence of injustices faced by children due to weak oversight in the implementation of regulations, such as Law Number 11 of 2012 on the Juvenile Criminal Justice System and Law Number 35 of 2014 on Child Protection. The main issue raised is the gap between legal norms and their practical application in the field. The research methodology employs a normative and empirical juridical approach. Data were collected through document studies, in-depth interviews with law enforcement officers, children's families, and legal experts, as well as case study analyses, such as the case of Vina Dewi Arsita in Cirebon. The findings reveal instances of power abuse that harm children and highlight the weak implementation of restorative justice and rehabilitation principles within the juvenile criminal justice system. This study recommends a more effective legal protection model based on restorative justice, involving collaboration between law enforcement, government, families, and communities. It is hoped that this model will enhance transparency, justice, and the protection of children's rights.

Abstract

Customary law shapes South African and Indonesian culture and society. However, adopting customary marital law into national legal systems is difficult. These include value conflicts between regional traditions and positive law’s universal principles, such as recording marriages, protecting children, and ensuring gender equality. Within Indonesia’s legal system, customary law practices are not well accommodated. Customary law is acknowledged under South Africa’s constitution, however its application is fraught with difficulties. This study aims to (1) comprehend positive law and its correlation with customary marriage law, (2) analyze the difficulties of integrating customary marriage law with positive law in South Africa and Indonesia, and (3) evaluate the future prospects of this domain. The study’s findings and suggestions might foster a more equitable society and promote legislation that honors universal ideals and traditional customs. This comparative and qualitative study use normative legal techniques to analyze pertinent literature, legal concepts, and norms. This paper highlights the main barriers to merging positive and customary marriage legislation. Examples are administrative obstacles like marriage registration and customary norms that conflict with human rights. The proposed framework respects traditional values to uphold human rights and social fairness. Keywords include normative marriage law, positive law, social justice, gender equality, and legal integration.
