Marriage agreements remain a frequently debated and somewhat sensitive issue within the context of matrimony in Indonesia, notwithstanding their explicit existence in the country's legal regulations. Governed by the Marriage Law Number 1 of 1974 and addressed in the Civil Code (KUHPerdata/BW), marriage agreements are formulated by spouses before the solemnization of the marriage. However, a significant development occurred in 2015 when a constitutional challenge was raised against Article 29 of the Marriage Law Number 1 of 1974. In its definitive decision, the Constitutional Court ruled that marriage agreements could be established before, during, or after the marriage ceremony. This has engendered a considerable amount of both support and opposition, considering the numerous shifts that have ensued, such as legal inconsistencies, the potential for legal circumvention, and adverse consequences for the involved parties.
