Abstract

This study explores the harmonization of Islamic law, customary law (adat), and national law in the context of protecting the rights of indigenous peoples in Indonesia. As a country with legal pluralism, Indonesia accommodates multiple legal systems that coexist and often intersect. Customary law, deeply rooted in indigenous communities, plays a vital role in regulating social life and managing communal resources. However, its recognition and implementation within the national legal framework remain inconsistent. Islamic law, as one of the moral and legal foundations embraced by the majority of the population, offers universal principles of justice, equity, and protection of rights, including those of marginalized groups. This research analyzes how Islamic legal values can serve as a bridge between state law and adat law to ensure comprehensive protection for indigenous communities. Using a normative-juridical approach, the study reviews legislation, judicial decisions, and scholarly interpretations to assess the compatibility and potential conflicts among these legal systems. The findings indicate that while overlaps exist particularly in principles of communal ownership, justice, and mutual respect practical harmonization is often hindered by regulatory ambiguities and lack of political will. The study recommends the formulation of an integrated legal framework that respects the autonomy of indigenous law, aligns with Islamic principles of maslahah (public interest), and complies with constitutional protections. Such harmonization not only strengthens legal certainty but also ensures that indigenous peoples can fully exercise their rights without discrimination or marginalization. This research contributes to the discourse on legal pluralism and social justice in multicultural societies

Abstract

This study examines the position of women in the Islamic legal inheritance system as applied in Indonesia, a country where Islamic law, national law, and local customs coexist within a pluralistic legal framework. The research aims to analyze the extent to which Islamic inheritance law, particularly as codified in the Compilation of Islamic Law (Kompilasi Hukum Islam), recognizes and protects women's rights to inheritance, while also addressing the social and cultural challenges that affect its implementation. Although Islamic law grants women specific shares in inheritance such as one-half or one-third depending on their relationship to the deceased its practical enforcement is often hindered by patriarchal interpretations, customary practices (adat), and limited legal awareness among the Muslim population. Using a normative-juridical method, this study evaluates primary legal sources, including the Qur’an, Hadith, the Compilation of Islamic Law, and relevant court decisions. The research also explores the tension between religious doctrine and societal norms that tend to marginalize women from their rightful inheritance. Findings suggest that while the Islamic legal system in Indonesia formally acknowledges women's inheritance rights, cultural resistance and legal ambiguities frequently undermine their realization. Furthermore, there remains a significant gap between legal theory and practice, especially in rural communities. The study recommends strengthening legal education, judicial consistency, and public awareness to ensure that women's inheritance rights are upheld in accordance with Islamic principles of justice and equity. This research contributes to the broader discourse on gender justice within Islamic jurisprudence and the ongoing efforts to harmonize religious law with human rights standards in Indonesia

Abstract

This study examines the legal analysis of breach of contract in online sales agreements within the framework of the Indonesian Civil Code. The rapid growth of e-commerce has transformed traditional contractual relations, bringing forth new challenges in ensuring compliance and accountability in digital transactions. While online sales agreements are governed by general contract principles, their execution often encounters unique breaches such as non-delivery, defective goods, or refusal of payment. The research explores how the Civil Code—particularly provisions related to default (wanprestasi)—is applied to online transactions, and how these provisions intersect with contemporary practices in electronic commerce. The study utilizes a normative juridical approach by analyzing relevant statutory regulations, legal doctrines, and judicial precedents. It identifies key elements of contractual obligations, types of breaches, legal consequences for parties in default, and available legal remedies. The findings highlight that while the Civil Code provides a sufficient legal foundation for contractual enforcement, it lacks specificity for addressing the complexities of digital sales environments. Therefore, integration with technological regulations and consumer protection laws is essential to enhance legal certainty and justice. This research contributes to the development of digital contract law by providing recommendations for harmonizing traditional legal doctrines with modern e-commerce practices. It is expected to serve as a reference for legal practitioners, business actors, and regulators in interpreting and applying breach of contract rules in the context of online transactions

Abstract

This study explores the position of women in Indonesia’s customary law inheritance systems, which vary across ethnic groups and regions. While national legal frameworks have recognized gender equality, customary inheritance practices often reflect patriarchal norms that limit women's rights to inherit property. In some traditions, women are excluded entirely from inheritance, whereas in others they receive limited or conditional rights. This research analyzes how such norms persist despite Indonesia’s legal commitments to equality, examining the cultural, religious, and historical underpinnings of customary law. Through doctrinal and socio-legal analysis, the study evaluates how customary practices align or conflict with national laws, particularly the 1945 Constitution and the Marriage Law. It also considers recent jurisprudence and legal reform efforts aimed at harmonizing customary law with principles of justice and gender equality. The findings reveal a complex interplay between tradition and modern legal standards, emphasizing the need for culturally sensitive yet rights-based legal integration to ensure equitable inheritance rights for women

Abstract

Mixed marriages, involving individuals of different nationalities, present complex legal challenges, particularly in determining the status of joint property. In the Indonesian legal system, such marriages are governed by a combination of national laws, including Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage, Law No. 12 of 2006 on Citizenship, and Law No. 5 of 1960 on Basic Agrarian Principles, among others. One of the most significant issues arises in relation to the ownership and control of immovable property, especially when one spouse is a foreign national. Indonesian law restricts foreign ownership of land, which affects the ability of couples in mixed marriages to hold joint property rights over land and housing. This often necessitates legal arrangements such as prenuptial agreements (perjanjian perkawinan) to separate assets, preventing legal conflicts and safeguarding property rights. The absence of such agreements can lead to the classification of joint property as incompatible with national land laws, potentially invalidating ownership claims. This paper explores the implications of mixed marriages on joint property status by analyzing Indonesian legal provisions, court rulings, and practical case examples. It also discusses the role of notaries and legal practitioners in drafting agreements that comply with the prevailing legal framework. The study emphasizes the importance of legal certainty, equal rights within marriage, and the harmonization of private international law principles with domestic statutes. Findings suggest the need for more accessible legal education and simplified mechanisms for asset regulation in mixed marriages to prevent unintended legal consequences
