Abstract

Existing scholarship on marriage annulment in Indonesian family law primarily addresses formal defects of validity and coercion, but offers limited analysis of compensatory remedies when annulment produces social and economic harm. This article addresses that gap by examining Decision No. 42/Pdt.G/2023/PA.Llk and introducing the concept of compensatory annulment justice, defined as a judicial approach that annuls a coerced marriage while preserving limited remedies for relational harm. Using a normative juridical, case-based analysis, the study treats the decision as primary legal material to assess judicial reasoning on consent, coercion, cohabitation, and compensation. The findings show that the court moved beyond formal validity by (i) construing coercion through witness-based proof of psychological threat, (ii) positioning premarital cohabitation and local custom as relevant social facts without allowing them to override free consent, and (iii) awarding Rp2,000,000 via reconventional claim grounded in unlawful act doctrine and proportionality. These results demonstrate that annulment need not erase all consequences of the relationship. The study contributes a coherent framework for integrating consent protection with post-annulment responsibility, offering doctrinal guidance for courts to balance autonomy, legal pluralism, and substantive justice in family disputes.

Abstract

This study examines sexual violence in Aceh’s pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) through a victim-centered legal pluralism perspective, focusing on the interaction between religious authority, local sharia-based criminal law, national child protection instruments, and institutional governance. Using a juridical-sociological approach, this study draws on semi-structured interviews with twelve informants, including survivors, pesantren actors, legal actors, child protection officers, and advocates from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Bener Meriah and North Aceh. The interview data are complemented by documentary analysis of legal regulations, child protection reports, NGO documents, media-based case documentation, and selected legal records. The findings show that sexual violence in pesantren is enabled by hierarchical relations between kiai (pesantren leaders), ustaz (religious teachers), and santri (students), especially when takzim (reverential respect toward religious authority) develops into unquestioned obedience without accountability. The study also finds that the pre-amendment implementation of Qanun Aceh No. 6 of 2014 during the 2024 fieldwork period had strong social and religious legitimacy but remained limited in ensuring victim recovery, psychosocial assistance, restitution, educational reintegration, and post-sanction monitoring. Although national instruments such as the Child Protection Law, the TPKS Law, and PMA No. 73 of 2022 provide broader victim-centered protection norms, their implementation in pesantren remains weak and fragmented. Institutionally, relevant actors such as the Ministry of Religious Affairs, DP3A, UPTD PPA, law enforcement agencies, NGOs, and pesantren administrators do not yet operate within an integrated case-management system. This study contributes to socio-legal scholarship by arguing that child protection in pesantren requires not only legal reform, but also mandatory safeguarding governance, integrated referral mechanisms, and enforceable institutional accountability.
