Abstract

General Background: Village governance plays a crucial role in Indonesia’s decentralization framework, serving as a foundation for democratization and local empowerment. Specific Background: Despite legal instruments such as Law Number 6 of 2014 and its amendment in Law Number 3 of 2024, challenges persist in harmonizing the relationship between the Village Consultative Body (BPD) and the Village Head. These challenges manifest in weak institutional synergy, limited transparency, and low community participation. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies have discussed administrative structures but rarely analyzed the juridical-sociological mechanisms necessary to optimize good governance at the village level. Aims: This study aims to examine how the BPD and Village Head can function synergistically within the framework of transparency, accountability, and participatory governance. Results: Findings reveal that effective collaboration depends on clearly defined authority boundaries, strengthened institutional capacity, and adherence to legal and ethical norms that promote transparency and accountability. Novelty: The study integrates normative juridical analysis with sociological interpretation, offering a model of village governance rooted in legal compliance and ethical partnership. Implications: Strengthening the synergy between the BPD and Village Head enhances local democracy, fosters community trust, and transforms village governance into a system that is transparent, accountable, and participatory Highlights: Strengthening synergy between BPD and Village Head ensures balanced authority and effective governance. Transparency and accountability serve as the ethical foundation for public trust and participation. Legal awareness and institutional capacity are vital for realizing sustainable village democracy.

Literally, tabbani means a family couple who tries to get a foster child from another family, then treats it as if it were their biological child. The reality of informants in Sawentar, Blitar, child adoption is based on the agreement of biological parents with adoptive parents, then the adopted child is manipulated as if he were the biological child of the adoptive parents, without going through the court process, Research qualitative approach type of observational research, field-research, determination of empirical approaches, subjected to 3 primary sources. Descriptive qualitative means using qualitative data, then described descriptively. Problems are solved by non-doctrinal empirical normative studies, sourced from primary and secondary data.

The conclusion was found that child adoption in Sawentar Village, the subject of the study carried out the adoption without going through the procedures as established by the government. This means that in positive law there is a violation of the law. The subject considers the judicial procedure to be a lot of time consuming, feels the complexity, does not meet the requirements of adoption, and the lack of understanding regarding child adoption according to the law.

Adoption is more about the agreement of both parties without a court process. Then, there is a lack of legal protection for adopted children, confidentiality in both, if not open, nasab (family ties based on blood relations, both up, down, and sideways) and the pleasure of the mother, father or biological person will be lost.
