Abstract

This research examines the impact of marriage dispensation on fulfilling children's right to education within the jurisdiction of the Suwawa Religious Court. Marriage dispensation grants permission for marriage for minors, which has significant implications for children's education, particularly the risk of early school dropout. Empirical data reveals a high number of marriage dispensation requests involving students, potentially hindering children's access to quality education and the optimal development of their potential. Furthermore, this study highlights broader social consequences, including reproductive health risks, psychological pressure, and vulnerability to domestic violence, all of which threaten the well-being of children. From a legal perspective, although the regulation of Law No. 16 of 2019 and PERMA No. 5 of 2019 provides strict guidelines in the dispensation process, practical implementation still faces challenges in ensuring children's rights are heard and their best interests are prioritized. This situation calls for serious attention from the judiciary and relevant stakeholders. The study concludes the need for strengthening judges' capacity through training, legal assistance, and community education to change the social norms still influencing child marriage practices. A comprehensive policy recommendation is aimed at strengthening regulations, improving inter-agency synergy, and ensuring effective supervision to maximize the protection of children's educational rights. This study is expected to contribute to the development of child protection policies and enhance Indonesia's human resources in the future.

Abstract

This research discusses the legal protection mechanisms available to pension beneficiaries against maladministration in pension fund payments by partner banks of PT Taspen (Persero), specifically Bank SulutGo in the Gorontalo region. The background of this study stems from the fact that pension funds are a constitutional right of citizens, as stated in Article 28H paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, and are also a form of social security guaranteed by Law No. 40 of 2004 concerning the National Social Security System. However, in practice, maladministration cases such as unilateral account blocking, transfer delays, and lack of transparency in information have been found, which cause retirees difficulties in accessing their entitlements. This study uses normative legal research methods with a statute approach and case approach, based on a study of banking regulations, consumer protection, and the social security system. The results of this research indicate that maladministration in pension fund payments can be categorized as a violation of consumer rights as regulated in Law No. 8 of 1999 on Consumer Protection and is contrary to the principles of prudence, transparency, and accountability in banking. The available legal protection mechanisms are divided into preventive measures, such as strengthening regulations and supervision, and repressive measures through internal complaints in banks, dispute resolution through the OJK and LAPS-SJK, up to civil lawsuits in court. However, challenges such as weak supervision, limited legal literacy, and the position of pensioners as vulnerable groups remain the main obstacles. Therefore, comprehensive legal protection needs to be strengthened, involving the government, PT Taspen, partner banks, and law enforcement agencies, to guarantee legal certainty, justice, and benefits for pension beneficiaries.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the efforts of law enforcement in using digital evidence to prove human trafficking cases in Indonesia. This study is a normative study analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The results of the study indicate that law enforcement efforts in utilizing digital evidence include digital data seizures, electronic communication tracking, digital financial transaction analysis, and the involvement of digital forensic experts in authenticating evidence submitted to the court. Although the national legal framework, such as the ITE Law and Law Number 21 of 2007, has recognized the validity of digital evidence, its implementation in the field still faces various obstacles both in terms of technical, regulatory, and human resources. Law enforcement officers still need to increase their capacity in handling digital evidence professionally and proportionally

Abstract

This study aims to examine and analyze the implementation of the electronic land registration system at the National Land Agency (BPN) Office of Gorontalo City, as well as the forms of legal protection provided to land rights holders in the event of errors in the system. This research adopts a normative-empirical legal approach, utilizing statutory, conceptual, and case study methods. Primary data were obtained from the Gorontalo City BPN Office, while secondary data were sourced from legislation, literature, and relevant research findings. All data were analyzed using a descriptive-qualitative method. The findings indicate that the implementation of the electronic land registration system in Gorontalo City has generally been in accordance with the applicable regulations, although it still faces various challenges from both the public and the internal operations of the BPN. The registration process continues to adhere to the fundamental principles and objectives of land registration. Legal protection for land rights holders is provided optimally through a correction mechanism in cases of errors in physical or juridical data, referring to the land register stored at the land office. Furthermore, the security features of electronic certificates are considered adequate, difficult to forge, and capable of preventing overlaps or duplication of certificates.

Abstract

Legal aspects in business dispute resolution through alternative dispute resolution (ADR) play an essential role as they offer a more efficient, flexible, and lower-cost solution compared to litigation processes in court. Various ADR methods, such as mediation, arbitration, and negotiation, are governed by legal regulations aimed at ensuring fairness for all parties involved. Key legal aspects of ADR in Indonesia include the legal foundations in the Civil Code, Law No. 30 of 1999 on Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution, and other related regulations. Mediation and arbitration have become preferred choices for business dispute resolution due to their time and cost efficiency, as well as their ability to preserve relationships between the parties involved. However, challenges in its implementation, such as the lack of public awareness, inconsistent application of legal provisions, and limited professional capacity of mediators or arbitrators, continue to hinder the optimal utilization of ADR mechanisms. Furthermore, the enforceability of ADR outcomes particularly arbitral awards often faces procedural barriers and resistance from parties unfamiliar with non-litigation solutions. Despite these obstacles, the development of ADR in Indonesia continues to show promise, supported by judicial encouragement and increasing inclusion in contractual clauses. In conclusion, strengthening the legal framework, enhancing professional standards, and promoting ADR literacy among stakeholders are crucial steps in advancing effective business dispute resolution outside the courtroom.

Abstract

Unregistered marriages, commonly known as Nikah Siri, remain widespread in Indonesia despite conflicting with formal legal norms. Although religiously valid, such marriages do not provide legal protection for women and children born from these unions. This paper aims to examine the legal consequences of unregistered marriages on the status and rights of children. Using a qualitative descriptive method with statutory and case study approaches, this research analyzes legal protections available to children from these marriages. The study finds that Constitutional Court Decision No. 46/PUU-VIII/2010 enables children born out of wedlock to establish civil relations with their biological fathers if scientifically proven. The findings reflect a shift in legal perspective toward a more humanistic and justice-oriented approach in protecting children’s rights.

Abstract

Legal protection for consumers is important in maintaining consumer rights in the market. The purpose of this study is to analyze the form of legal protection provided to consumers and the obstacles faced in its implementation. The method used is a descriptive approach with a case study, where data is collected through observation and interviews with consumers and business actors. The results show that although there are regulations governing consumer protection, there are still obstacles in its implementation, such as lack of consumer awareness and weak supervision from the authorities. Effective legal protection is needed to ensure fairness and consumer welfare in economic transactions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the juridical aspects of criminal offenses involving sexual intercourse with a child, particularly within the framework of Indonesian criminal law. The objective is to understand the legal foundations, application of statutory provisions, and legal consequences imposed on perpetrators. The research employs a normative juridical method with statutory and case approaches, focusing on the analysis of legal norms and court decisions to assess how these laws are implemented in practice. The findings reveal that such offenses are governed by the Indonesian Penal Code (KUHP) and Law No. 35 of 2014 on Child Protection. In practice, challenges include inconsistencies in sentencing, evidentiary barriers, and the psychological vulnerability of victims. This study underscores the need for a firmer and more consistent application of the law to ensure justice and deterrence. The novelty of this research lies in its critical examination of judicial reasoning in selected verdicts, exposing gaps and disparities in legal interpretation and sentencing. This analysis contributes to the discourse on child protection by offering legal insights that promote uniformity and fairness in handling such cases. In conclusion, the study recommends reforms in judicial practices, the implementation of child-friendly legal procedures, and stronger enforcement of sentencing guidelines to better safeguard children’s rights.

Abstract

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of enforcement mechanisms for electoral offenses in Indonesia. The main issues examined are the extent to which the current system can effectively address violations and the challenges faced in its implementation. This research adopts a socio-legal approach using qualitative methods, including literature review, legal analysis, and case studies of electoral violations. The findings reveal that the enforcement system continues to face several obstacles, such as overlapping institutional mandates (between Bawaslu, the police, and the prosecution), limited resources, and weak coordination and consistency in applying sanctions. These factors contribute to a lack of deterrent effect, allowing violations to persist across election cycles. The study recommends strengthening inter-agency coordination, restructuring the legal framework, and enhancing institutional capacity to establish a more effective and credible enforcement system for electoral justice.
