Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage affirms that marriage aims to establish an eternal and happy household based on the One Almighty God. Marriage also has legal consequences concerning the civil status of spouses, parent-child relationships, and marital property. Problems may arise when assets brought into the marriage are used for joint purposes or mixed with assets acquired during marriage, particularly in divorce, inheritance, and property disputes. This study aims to analyze Semarang Religious Court Decision No. 2367/Pdt.G/2021/PA.Smg concerning the division of joint assets after divorce and its legal implications. This research employed library research using a normative juridical approach and qualitative analysis.
