<![CDATA[The mechanism of the inheritance division of the customary communities of Aceh Utara is implemented in accordance with the results of the meetings and discussions among the heirs. When there is a dispute in distributing the inheritance, it is resolved through several steps, firstly through family meetings, secondly through Gampong (village) level, thirdly, through Mukim level (Village Union). If it cannot be resolved through meetings and discussions (customary), it will be solved by Sharia Court. Acehnese tend to divide the inheritance according to customary law than to resolve it in the Sharia Court because if a problem is resolved in the Sharia Court, it will cause a disharmony among the heirs, and it takes quite long time and high cost.
