Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of dowry in Islamic marriage law, considering both traditional and modern aspects that influence its practice in contemporary society. Dowry, as a mandatory gift from a prospective husband to his prospective wife, has undergone various interpretations and adaptations over time. This study analyzes the legal basis of dowry in Islamic law, including the provisions of the Quran, Hadith, and the opinions of scholars, and explores how dowry practices have evolved in different socio-cultural contexts. The discussion covers the various forms of dowry, from traditional property to modern assets, and their implications for women's rights and gender equality in Islamic marriage. The results demonstrate flexibility in determining dowry, allowing for adaptation to contemporary socio-economic conditions while maintaining its spiritual essence as a symbol of commitment and respect for women. This study also identifies challenges in balancing traditional values with the demands of modernity and provides recommendations for harmonizing dowry practices in accordance with Sharia principles and the contemporary context.

Abstract

MSMEs are one way for people to meet their daily needs. They also play a crucial role in improving regional and national economies. However, as developments develop, MSMEs are now finding it difficult to capture market share due to competitiveness. This is further compounded by the enactment of Law No. 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation. Therefore, the government is emphasizing legal protection for MSMEs to address the increasingly fierce competition in the current market. This study aims to analyze the government's role in providing legal protection to MSME owners following the enactment of Law No. 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation. The main focus of this study is to explore how regulations and policies resulting from the Job Creation Law affect the legal protection provided to MSME owners, as well as the extent of the government's role in guaranteeing their legal rights, both in terms of business protection, financing, and market access. Through this study, it is hoped that various recommendations will be found that will be useful for improving government policies in providing optimal legal protection for MSME owners, as well as contributing to the development of a more sustainable MSME sector in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines the role of commercial law in resolving business disputes in Indonesia, focusing on the legal framework, dispute resolution institutions, and implementation challenges. This literature review explores how commercial law, including the Commercial Code (KUHD), Law Number 30 of 1999 concerning Arbitration, and the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE), contributes to creating justice, legal certainty, and efficiency in resolving business conflicts. Furthermore, this study analyzes the importance of harmonizing domestic law with international standards to support global trade. The findings indicate that although mechanisms such as arbitration and mediation have become effective alternatives, challenges such as high costs, low legal literacy, and gaps in the implementation of earbitration still hamper the effectiveness of dispute resolution. This article provides strategic recommendations, including increasing the accessibility of arbitration institutions and commercial courts, developing e-arbitration, and improving legal literacy for business actors. This study is expected to serve as a reference in strengthening the role of commercial law in supporting a fair and sustainable business climate in Indonesia.

Abstract

Arbitration is an alternative dispute resolution outside the court (non-litigation) that is final and binding on the parties. However, in practice, arbitration decisions can still be annulled at the District Court based on certain reasons stipulated in the law. This study aims to analyze the legal basis, procedures, and considerations of judges in deciding on requests to annul arbitration decisions at the District Court. The research method used is a normative legal approach with secondary data sources in the form of laws and regulations, court decisions, and related legal literature. The results of the study indicate that efforts to annul arbitration decisions are regulated in Article 70 of Law Number 30 of 1999 concerning Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution, which requires the presence of certain elements such as alleged forged documents, concealment of important documents, or decisions based on deception. In addition, annulment can only be submitted within a maximum period of 30 days after the decision is received. The District Court's decision on an annulment request is final, but it still leaves room for legal uncertainty and inconsistent application of norms by judges. Therefore, there is a need for a strengthened legal system and more consistent standards of interpretation in the annulment process for arbitration awards.

Abstract

Insurance is an institution that functions to mitigate various risks that may occur in the future. Therefore, insurance plays a crucial role in providing protection to policyholders. One of the challenges that frequently arise in insurance practice is the rejection of claims submitted by customers to insurance companies, which are usually accompanied by various reasons from the company. In this case, the existence of the Financial Services Authority (OJK) is very helpful for customers in resolving issues related to claim rejections. Based on Law Number 21 of 2011 concerning the Financial Services Authority, this institution not only serves as a facilitator of consumer protection and mediation, but also plays an active role in legal defense for customers. The OJK's role in resolving disputes over insurance claims rejected by insurance companies includes acting as a mediator in the deliberation process to reach a consensus between the customer and the insurance company, as well as acting as a supervisor to ensure the outcome of the agreement. However, in carrying out its functions, the OJK faces a number of non-legal obstacles, both internal and external. This research uses literature review and legal analysis to help provide results in addressing this issue. Some of these obstacles include the lack of clarity in customer complaints, incomplete supporting documents, and minimal information that can be obtained.

Abstract

The tax amnesty policy is a strategic step taken by the Indonesian government to improve taxpayer compliance and expand the tax revenue base through tax amnesty by providing an opportunity to report unreported assets without administrative or criminal sanctions. This study aims to analyze the assessment of the tax amnesty policy from a tax law perspective, particularly in balancing the principles of fairness and tax compliance. The method used is a socio-legal approach with a literature study on the regulation and implementation of tax amnesty and its impact on social justice and taxpayer compliance. The results show that the success of this policy is highly dependent on the government's ability to implement a fair and transparent amnesty mechanism without sacrificing justice for compliant taxpayers. In addition, the effectiveness of the tax amnesty program is also influenced by the level of legal certainty, political stability, and ease of tax administration to encourage a culture of voluntary compliance. Therefore, the assessment of the tax amnesty policy must consider the balance between state revenue and social justice in order to create a sustainable and trusted tax system

Abstract

Tax disputes between taxpayers and fiscal authorities are a frequent issue in tax administration practices in Indonesia. These conflicts typically arise from mismatched perceptions in determining the amount of tax payable, which often leads to objections, appeals, and even judicial reviews. This study aims to examine the legal framework for how the tax dispute resolution system is regulated and implemented based on the provisions of Law Number 14 of 2002 concerning the Tax Court. The method used is a normative-juridical approach by examining laws and regulations, legal doctrine, and several Tax Court decisions. The results show that the number of tax disputes has continued to increase over the past five years, dominated by disputes related to VAT and Income Tax. Furthermore, procedural and substantive legal obstacles remain that hinder optimal protection of taxpayers' rights. The Tax Court plays a crucial role in ensuring justice by correcting tax authorities' decisions that do not meet the principles of legality and justice. This study emphasizes the need for reform of the objection system, increased tax legal literacy, and regulatory improvements in response to the dynamics of the digital economy.

Abstract

Unilateral termination of employment (PHK) has become a crucial issue in the dynamics of the Indonesian labor market, particularly following the enactment of Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation. This study aims to analyze the principle of justice in the practice of unilateral layoffs through a critical legal approach. This approach is used to examine whether the provisions of the Job Creation Law reflect substantive justice for workers or actually strengthen the dominance of employer interests. The research method used is normative juridical with a statutory and conceptual approach, and qualitative analysis. The results show that although the Job Creation Law claims to provide flexibility in industrial relations, in practice it has the potential to weaken legal protection for workers experiencing unilateral layoffs. Therefore, a more balanced policy formulation is needed so that the principle of justice can truly be realized in the employment relationship between employers and employees.

Abstract

The provisions regarding social security for workers, previously regulated by Law No. 40 of 2004 concerning the National Social Security System and Law No. 24 of 2011 concerning the Social Security Administering Body, have been significantly amended by Law No. 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation. The purpose of this study is to examine these normative changes from a legal perspective, focusing on their impact on the defense of workers' rights. Normative legal research employs legislative and intellectual approaches. Through a literature review of laws and regulations, court decisions, and legal documents, data is analyzed qualitatively. According to the study, the modifications outlined in the Job Creation Law, particularly those related to the unemployment insurance program, could result in a loss of legal certainty and a decline in workers' social security standards. Furthermore, the concepts of social justice and legal certainty are questioned by the introduction of more flexible social security in the context of investment interests. Therefore, to ensure that social protection for workers is maintained within the context of national economic development, it is necessary to strengthen its derivative legislation and implement a strict oversight system.

Abstract

This study examines the practice of outsourcing in Indonesia as a form of hidden exploitation in employment relationships. Initially intended to improve company efficiency and create workforce flexibility, outsourcing often creates serious problems related to the protection of workers' rights. Many outsourced workers face status uncertainty, inadequate wages, limited access to social security, and even discrimination compared to permanent workers. These conditions demonstrate the potential for exploitation that contradicts the principles of social justice as mandated by the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and labor norms. The research method used is a normative juridical approach with a statutory and conceptual approach. Legal sources include primary legal materials in the form of relevant laws and regulations, particularly Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower and its amendments, Constitutional Court Decisions, and other derivative regulations. Secondary legal materials in the form of doctrine, labor law literature, and previous research findings are used to enrich the analysis. The results indicate that outsourcing regulations in Indonesia still leave room for ambiguity that companies can exploit to oppress workers. Inconsistencies between laws, government regulations, and on-the-ground practices weaken workers' bargaining power. This research confirms that outsourcing practices that fail to address worker protection principles have the potential to become a form of hidden exploitation, necessitating consistent law enforcement and the formulation of policies that better support social justice and worker welfare.
