The problem of debt is included in the field of personal status, where marriages are carried out between spouses, which as a result of the law of debt become a burden to be borne together from marriage agreements between citizens, especially related to the distribution of joint assets. How is the legal liability of debtors to creditors in the final period of marriage? and How is the legal protection for the debtor's innate property? Regarding the marriage agreement, it is regulated in Article 29 of Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage. This is because of the agreement made between the husband and wife both regarding joint property after marriage and the child's guardianship rights as well as the citizenship status of the child and each party. The method used in this research is normative juridical and empirical juridical research which is analyzed using legal certainty theory and legal liability theory. From the results of the research. Events that often occur in the field of debt, debt repayments that must be paid by the debtor are often not as agreed.

Over Time

Mixed marriages have always had an ambiguous and often problematic relationship with the law. On one hand, mixed marriages have been seen as a key indicator of sociocultural integration into mainstream society. In terms of the law, this perception has been expressed, for example, as privileged access to citizenship status for immigrant family members of citizens. On the other hand, mixed marriages have been seen as a threat to society and social cohesion. In this article, I argue that these contradictory perceptions of mixed relationships have informed the development of citizenship law over time. Building on literature on the regulation of mixed marriages in law, as well as gender and citizenship law, I use the Netherlands as a case study to demonstrate how citizenship law has been used as a tool to prevent certain types of “undesirable” mixed couples and how this approach has informed Dutch citizenship law until today.

Unequal Coverage documents the everyday experiences of individuals across the United States as they attempted to access coverage and care in the five years following the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The contributors to this edited volume employ research methods rooted in ethnography and focused on how reform was actually experienced on the ground by frontline health care workers, the newly insured, and those who remained uninsured. The book argues that while the ACA did extend social protections to some groups previously excluded from health insurance, its design- and controversy-plagued implementation also created new forms of exclusion. Access to affordable coverage options were highly segmented by state of residence, income, and citizenship status. To explain and contextualize the stratified experiences of health reform that the book’s authors documented across nine states, Unequal Coverage explores interrelated themes from medical anthropology: stratified citizenship, risk, and responsibility. In the years since its enactment, some 20 million uninsured Americans gained access to insurance coverage. And yet, the law remained unpopular and politically vulnerable. This book illustrates lessons learned from the contentious implementation of the ACA and reveals how the law became a flashpoint for battles over inequality, fairness, and the role of government.

Religious accommodations have been granted only when this can be done without defeating the purposes of the law. This chapter examines the purposes of antidiscrimination law. That body of law is an exception to the normal rule of contract at will. Generally, one may refuse to deal for any reason at all. Legislation is only necessary when discrimination is ubiquitous. The law can thus achieve its ends while excusing idiosyncratic dissenters. The harms that have been attributed to discrimination, such as damage to full citizenship status and dignitary harm, are carefully unpacked.

Abstract In the nationwide debates in the build-up to the Ghana elections of December 2016, the New Patriotic Party, then in the opposition, claimed that 76,000 individuals were registered on both the Togolese and the Ghanaian voters’ registers, casting doubt on the citizenship status of voters who crossed the border from Togo to vote in Ghana. The issues that political parties continually raise about the voters’ register result in recurrent debates about identification documents and belonging. This article poses the underlying questions that many election analyses overlook: who is the electorate? Who decides who belongs to the nation? I argue that the criteria for belonging are neither those that are set in the law, nor those that seem to be suggested by political parties, but those that are decided at a local level where communities are the real gatekeepers of the vote. This article contributes to the literature on elections in Africa by highlighting the porosity of borders in a mobile world, not purely in terms of electoral outcomes, but in terms of broader issues about citizenship and belonging.

This study is to analyse and review the implementation of the Law and Human Rights Minister’s  Regulation about a registration and immigration facility for children with dual citizens’ status. Some  problems arise as to provisions on the Law and Human Rights Minister’s Regulation Number 22 of  2012 on Procedures of a Registration for Children with Dual Citizens’ Status and Immigration  Facility Application in accordance with the Law and Human Rights Minister’s Regulation Number 12247 of 2016 on Procedures of Indonesian Citizenship Application through an Electronic System. This  study shows that the Law and Human Rights Minister’s Regulation needs areas of improvement  pertaining to some categories of children with dual citizens’ status subject to the Indonesian  Citizenship Law Number 12 of 2006, a compulsory registration for children with dual citizens’ status  has yet no legal force and effect for those who violate it, no provisions regulate the validity of the  certificate of registration but it is printed in the certificate and the card, and two terms “affidavit”  and “immigration facility” may lead to ambiguity and have an effect on the process of citizenship  status determination by someone who is at 18 or not exceeding 21 years old.  

Ethical Challenges: Less About Moral Wrongdoing and More About Communication Breakdown

Personal Case

“My patient refuses thickened liquids, should I discharge them from my caseload?” A version of this question appears at least weekly on the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's Community pages. People talk of respecting the patient's right to be non-compliant with speech-language pathology recommendations. We challenge use of the word “respect” and calling a patient “non-compliant” in the same sentence: does use of the latter term preclude the former? In this article we will share our reflections on why we are interested in these so called “ethical challenges” from a personal case level to what our professional duty requires of us. Our proposal is that the problems that we encounter are less to do with ethical or moral puzzles and usually due to inadequate communication. We will outline resources that clinicians may use to support their work from what seems to be a straightforward case to those that are mired in complexity. And we will tackle fears and facts regarding litigation and the law.
