Abstract

Background: Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury is a significant orthopedic problem, particularly among young, active individuals. Anatomical factors, such as a narrow intercondylar notch, are considered intrinsic risks. However, findings on the association between the Notch Width Index (NWI) and femoral notch shape with ACL tears vary across populations. This study aimed to describe these anatomical characteristics in patients diagnosed with ACL injury at H. Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan. Methods: A descriptive observational study was conducted using medical records and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data of patients treated between January 2023 and December 2024. A total of 64 patients with confirmed ACL injuries who met the inclusion criteria were included. Data on demographics, mechanism of injury, NWI, and femoral notch shape (classified as Type A, U, or W) were collected and analyzed descriptively. Results: The majority of patients were male (71.9%), with a mean age of 27.75 ± 8.35 years. The most common occupations were student (35.9%) and private employee (32.8%). The primary mechanism of injury was sports-related activities (64.1%), with the left knee being more commonly affected (64.1%). The mean NWI for the cohort was 0.28 ± 0.032. The most prevalent femoral notch morphologies were Type W (46.9%) and Type U (42.2%), while Type A was the least common (10.9%). Conclusion: In this cohort, ACL injuries predominantly affect young adult males involved in sports. The average NWI suggests a tendency towards a narrower intercondylar notch. Contrary to some studies, wider notch shapes (Type W and U) were more frequent than the stenotic Type A, indicating potential population-specific anatomical variations.

Abstract

The background of this study arises from the fact that unregistered marriages (nikah siri) are still prevalent in Indonesia, making marriage validation petitions an important legal instrument to obtain state recognition. However, in this case, a legal issue arose because the petitioner did not involve Mursani’s previous wives, who are still alive and have children that legally may have interests in the heir’s status and inheritance rights. The research questions in this study are as follows: 1) What are the judge’s juridical considerations in rejecting the marriage validation petition? 2) Have the judge’s considerations complied with the provisions of positive law and the substantive justice principles in Islamic law?. This study employs a normative juridical method using a case approach and a statute approach. Data sources are obtained from court decisions, legislation (Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage, the Compilation of Islamic Law, and Supreme Court Regulations related to family cases), as well as Islamic legal doctrines and literature. The analysis results show that the judge rejected the marriage validation petition because the first and second wives were not involved as respondents, even though they legally have potential interests in the outcome of the ruling. This consideration was based on the principle of audi et alteram partem (the right of every party to be heard), which is a fundamental principle of justice. However, substantively, this rejection creates a problem of legal utility, as it leaves the petitioner’s (third wife’s) marital status and her children’s legal standing unprotected, both administratively and civilly—particularly concerning inheritance and lineage rights. This study concludes that the judge’s decision is formally in accordance with the principles of civil procedural law; however, materially, it does not fully reflect the principles of utility and substantive justice for legally vulnerable parties, particularly for children born from unregistered marriages. A more progressive judicial guideline is needed so that judges can balance formal legal certainty with the protection of the civil rights of children and women in contentious marriage validation (isbat nikah) cases.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of information technology in the digital era has brought significant convenience to various aspects of human life, yet it has also given rise to new forms of criminal behavior known as cybercrime. This phenomenon encompasses a wide range of unlawful acts such as hacking, data theft, online fraud, and the dissemination of false information, all of which can cause serious social and economic harm. Such developments demand a legal system that can adapt to the dynamic, borderless, and often untraceable nature of cyberspace. This article aims to describe the various types of cybercrimes emerging in Indonesia, analyze the key challenges in law enforcement, and propose strategic measures to strengthen the effectiveness of their handling. The study employs a qualitative method with a normative juridical and descriptive-analytical approach through the examination of relevant literature, legal frameworks, and national research findings. The results indicate that law enforcement against cybercrime in Indonesia faces several obstacles, including regulatory gaps that fail to keep pace with technological progress, limited resources among law enforcement personnel, the complexity of digital evidence, and weak inter-agency and cross-border coordination. Therefore, it is essential to harmonize existing regulations, enhance the technical capacity of law enforcement officers, foster effective international cooperation, and promote public education on digital security to ensure that the national criminal justice system can respond comprehensively and adaptively to the challenges of digitalization.

Abstract

The protection of women’s inheritance rights represents a fundamental issue within Indonesia’s civil inheritance law system, which continues to encounter various challenges stemming from patriarchal cultural influences and gender-biased social constructs. Although the Indonesian Civil Code (KUHPerdata) explicitly affirms that men and women are entitled to equal rights in inheritance matters, practical realities often reveal persistent disparities in wealth distribution. Such inequities frequently arise from societal perceptions that position men as the principal heirs while viewing women as less entitled to family property. This article aims to examine the legal protection afforded to female heirs within the framework of Indonesia’s civil inheritance law and to evaluate the extent to which principles of equality and non-discrimination have been effectively applied in legal practice. Employing a normative juridical approach, this study analyzes statutory regulations, judicial decisions, and relevant legal literature. The findings indicate that, although civil inheritance law normatively guarantees equal inheritance rights for women and men, gaps remain in its practical implementation. Therefore, strengthening legal protection mechanisms, enhancing gender awareness, and fostering cooperation between law enforcement institutions and women’s advocacy organizations are essential to achieving substantive justice for female heirs in Indonesia.

Abstract

The establishment of a minimum education requirement for candidates of the House of Representatives (DPR) has become a complex legal issue, sparking debates between the principles of meritocracy and the fulfillment of citizens’ constitutional rights. On one hand, educational qualifications are considered essential to ensure the intellectual capacity, rationality, and legislative competence of parliamentary members in performing their lawmaking and supervisory functions. On the other hand, such provisions may lead to discrimination against citizens who lack access to adequate formal education, thereby restricting their constitutional right to be elected as guaranteed under the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. This article aims to thoroughly examine the legal implications of establishing a minimum education requirement for DPR candidates from the perspective of the 1945 Constitution and the Constitutional Court’s jurisprudence. Using a normative juridical approach, this study analyzes the compatibility of educational restrictions with the principles of equality before the law, political rights, and constitutional democracy. The findings reveal that educational qualifications should not be perceived as discriminatory limitations but rather as instruments to ensure competence and integrity within the legislative body as part of a democratic rule-of-law system. Nevertheless, such restrictions must be formulated proportionally, clearly, and in accordance with constitutional objectives so as not to violate the principle of equality before the law or the fundamental right of citizens to participate in governance. Therefore, any regulation regarding educational requirements for DPR candidates must strike a balance between the need for legislative professionalism and the protection of citizens’ constitutional rights.

Abstract

The rapid development of financial technology (fintech) has fundamentally transformed national financial systems, particularly through the emergence of peer-to-peer (P2P) lending services that enable individuals to obtain funding quickly and easily without the involvement of traditional financial institutions. This business model not only promotes financial inclusion but also drives the growth of Indonesia’s digital economy. Nevertheless, behind its efficiency and convenience, fintech lending poses substantial legal and economic risks most notably the risk of default, which can cause significant losses for both lenders and borrowers. The occurrence of defaults in fintech lending illustrates an imbalance in the legal standing between platform providers, lenders, and borrowers. Within the framework of Indonesia’s economic law, consumer protection serves as a crucial element in maintaining fairness and trust in digital financial systems. This article aims to examine the forms and effectiveness of legal protection available to consumers in cases of fintech lending default, emphasizing the role and responsibility of the Financial Services Authority (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan OJK) as the supervisory body of the financial services sector. This study employs a normative legal research method using statutory and conceptual approaches to analyze the existing regulations and policies, including OJK Regulation No. 10/POJK.05/2022 on Information Technology-Based Joint Funding Services. The findings indicate that, although OJK regulations have established a strong legal foundation, the practical implementation of consumer protection remains challenging particularly in areas of supervision, dispute resolution, and public financial literacy regarding digital finance.

Abstract

The development of the digital economy has created a major transformation in the patterns of interaction between businesses and consumers across various sectors, ranging from e-commerce and digital financial services to data-driven platforms. While this transformation provides convenience and efficiency in economic activities, it also presents serious challenges regarding legal protection for consumers. Issues such as data breaches, online fraud, and algorithmic manipulation have emerged as tangible risks resulting from the imbalance of power between digital corporations and users. This article aims to examine the legal responsibility of corporations in the context of the digital economy by employing a normative juridical approach through an analysis of relevant legislation, legal responsibility principles, and case studies on consumer rights violations in online environments. The findings indicate that although Indonesia has several legal instruments such as the Consumer Protection Law, the Electronic Information and Transactions Law, and the Personal Data Protection Law, their implementation still faces significant obstacles in law enforcement and inter-agency coordination. The complexity of cross-border jurisdiction and the weakness of online dispute resolution mechanisms further complicate corporate accountability. Therefore, strengthening regulations, establishing independent supervisory institutions, and increasing consumer legal awareness are necessary to create a balance between technological innovation and the protection of public rights in the rapidly evolving digital economy.

Abstract

Demonstrations represent a tangible form of freedom of expression and opinion, which are fundamental elements of a democratic system. In Indonesia, this right is constitutionally guaranteed and further regulated under Law No. 9 of 1998 concerning the Freedom to Express Opinions in Public. However, in practice, the implementation of this right often clashes with repressive actions by security forces. The excessive use of force, unlawful arrests, and acts of violence against protesters illustrate the weak legal protection afforded to citizens exercising their constitutional rights. Such circumstances raise serious concerns regarding the enforcement of human rights and the rule of law in Indonesia. This article aims to analyze the criminal law protection afforded to demonstrators from repressive actions by law enforcement officers who exceed their authority. The discussion examines the national legal framework, the principles of criminal liability for officers, and mechanisms for fair and proportional law enforcement. The study adopts a normative juridical approach, analyzing statutory regulations, legal doctrines, and relevant case studies. The findings indicate that repressive acts by officers may constitute criminal offenses when they violate the principles of legality and proportionality in the use of force. Furthermore, the state bears a constitutional obligation to provide effective legal protection for citizens who become victims of such abuses of power. Therefore, a stronger system of accountability and oversight is essential to ensure that citizens’ rights to peaceful assembly and expression are genuinely protected within Indonesia’s legal framework.

Abstract

Neglected posterior elbow dislocation presents a significant surgical challenge due to chronic soft tissue contractures and joint stiffness. Open reduction is the standard treatment, but the benefit of additional K-wire fixation remains uncertain. This observational analytic study with a case-control design was conducted at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan. A total of 50 patients with neglected posterior elbow dislocation treated between January 2020 and December 2024 were included. Patients were divided into two groups: open reduction with K-wire fixation (n = 25) and without fixation (n = 25). Clinical outcomes were assessed using the qDASH score, range of motion (ROM), and joint instability. Data were analyzed using Chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests with a significance level of p < 0.05. There were no significant differences between the two groups in qDASH scores (p = 0.551), ROM (p = 0.529), or joint instability (p = 0.773). Most patients (64%) achieved minimal disability, 72% had normal ROM, and 78% showed no signs of instability postoperatively. Open reduction of neglected posterior elbow dislocation yields comparable functional outcomes with or without K-wire fixation. The addition of K-wire does not appear to significantly influence disability scores, range of motion, or elbow stability. Surgical success may depend more on soft tissue management and rehabilitation than on internal fixation.

Abstract

The issue of gender equality remains a relevant academic and social issue in legal development in Indonesia. The unequal roles between men and women in family life and the workplace demonstrate the need to integrate Islamic legal values into the national legal system. This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic family law in realizing gender justice and examine the application of Islamic family law principles to Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower. This study uses a literature study method with a juridical-normative approach to analyze legal norms in Islamic family law and Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower. This study found that Islamic family law plays a significant role in realizing gender justice through the principles of justice, balance, and responsibility between men and women. Islamic values affirm women as legal subjects with the right to education, employment, and self-protection proportionally according to their capacity. The relevance of Islamic family law to Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower is evident in the shared goal of ensuring the protection and welfare of women in the workplace. Ibn Taymiyyah's thoughts on wage justice align with legal provisions affirming the right to a living wage. Integrating Islamic legal values into the national employment system can strengthen equitable policies, address gender issues, and support women's participation in social and economic development.
