<![CDATA[Children born from rape face a vulnerable legal position because their civil rights are often regulated under the general legal framework for children born outside marriage, despite the distinct circumstances surrounding their birth. This situation creates uncertainty in the fulfillment of their fundamental civil rights, including birth registration, inheritance, health protection, and identity privacy. This study aims to analyze the implementation of legal protection and legal certainty concerning the civil rights of children born from rape based on Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection. This study employs normative legal research using an analytical-interpretative approach to examine the relevant legal norms concerning the protection and civil rights of children born from rape. The results indicate that the existing legal framework has not provided comprehensive protection due to legal gaps and overlapping regulations. Children born from rape tend to be equated with children born outside marriage in general, resulting in structural victimization, social stigma, emotional vulnerability, and limitations in accessing fundamental civil rights. The novelty of this study lies in the need to establish a specific legal framework that separates the fulfillment of the civil rights of children born from rape from the general legal regime governing children born outside marriage. Based on the best interests of the child and the principle of equality before the law, legal reform is necessary to guarantee automatic protection from birth, including free birth registration, scientific determination of biological relationships, special health protection, and strict protection of identity and privacy.]]>
