Abstract

The pluralistic inheritance law system in Indonesia, which consists of Islamic inheritance law, Western civil inheritance law, and customary inheritance law, creates significant legal complexity, particularly in inheritance disputes involving differences of religion between the deceased and the heirs. Normatively, Islamic inheritance law does not recognize interfaith inheritance, while Western civil law adopts a principle of religious neutrality, and customary law varies according to each community’s kinship system. These differences result in unequal legal protection for interfaith heirs and raise serious issues regarding legal certainty and substantive justice. This research aims to analyze the legal position of interfaith heirs within Indonesia’s inheritance law system and to examine how the concept of justice is realized in judicial practice, particularly through the application of the concept of wasiat wajibah (mandatory bequest). This study employs a normative juridical method using statutory, conceptual, and jurisprudential approaches. The findings demonstrate that Western civil inheritance law consistently recognizes inheritance rights without considering religious differences. In contrast, Islamic inheritance law normatively prohibits interfaith inheritance; however, judicial practice has developed the application of wasiat wajibah as a legal compromise to protect the economic interests of non-Muslim heirs of Muslim descendants. Nevertheless, the application of wasiat wajibah remains inconsistent and highly dependent on judicial discretion, resulting in legal uncertainty and unequal treatment in similar cases. This research concludes that the current pluralistic inheritance framework has not yet fully guaranteed legal certainty and substantive justice for interfaith heirs. Therefore, it recommends the harmonization and reformulation of national inheritance law to establish clearer and more uniform normative guidelines. Such reform is necessary to ensure the realization of legal certainty, social utility, and substantive justice while remaining aligned with religious values and the multicultural character of Indonesian society.

Abstract

This paper investigates the interfaith responses to the Palestinian question in Indonesia, exploring the relationship between religion, human rights, and solidarity with Palestine. Indonesia, with its diverse religious landscape, is home to various responses to the Palestinian cause, particularly from Muslim, Christian, and interfaith groups. This study examines how these religious communities interpret and respond to the Palestinian struggle through the lenses of faith, justice, and human rights. Focusing on religious leaders, interfaith dialogue, and humanitarian initiatives, the paper explores how the Palestinian issue is framed as both a religious and a human rights concern, transcending religious boundaries. The research highlights the role of religious-based humanitarian organizations in Indonesia’s support for Palestine, considering their efforts in advocacy, fundraising, and raising awareness about the Palestinian plight. The paper also explores the challenges of balancing religious principles with international human rights frameworks in advocating for Palestine. Ultimately, it reflects on the role of religion as a tool for both moral advocacy and political resistance in the context of the Palestinian cause.

Abstract

Introduction:Street vendors in urban Indonesia, particularly in Surakarta (Solo), operate within a legal grey zone, often facing regulatory crackdowns, eviction, or relocation without adequate legal understanding or protection. The informal nature of their economic activities makes them vulnerable to policy shifts and enforcement actions under municipal regulations. Purpose:This study aims to examine how legal awareness initiatives can empower street vendors in Surakarta to navigate municipal regulations, assert their rights, and engage more constructively with local authorities. Method:Adopting a qualitative case study approach, the research combined interviews with street vendors, municipal officials, and civil society advocates with participatory observation and analysis of relevant local regulations. Legal literacy workshops and focus group discussions were also assessed as part of the intervention. Findings and Results:The study found that increased legal awareness enabled vendors to better understand licensing processes, dispute resolution mechanisms, and the implications of municipal spatial planning policies. Vendors who participated in legal literacy sessions were more likely to seek negotiation with local authorities and form associations to collectively advocate for their interests. However, challenges remain in reconciling informal economic practices with rigid regulatory frameworks. Urgency:As urban governance in Indonesian cities becomes increasingly formalized, there is an urgent need to ensure that the rights and livelihoods of informal workers are not overlooked. Legal awareness serves as a critical foundation for inclusive and just urban development. Contribution:This research contributes to the discourse on informality and urban justice by showing how legal empowerment can reduce conflict, promote dialogue, and facilitate policy reforms that balance regulation with economic inclusivity. Recommendation:Local governments should institutionalize legal literacy programs for informal workers and create participatory platforms that include street vendors in urban policy planning. Regulatory frameworks must be adapted to reflect the realities of informality and social equity.
