Abstract: this article discusses changes brought by the ruling of Constitutional Court No. 69/PUU/XIII/2015 which reviewed Marriage Law No. 1/1974, article 29 on pre nuptial agreement.  The article previously stated that such an agreement must be done prior or at the eve of marriage contract was signed. The Constitutional Court  decided upon a petition that nuptial agreement may be done prior the marriage or during the marriage. The implication of this reuling by Constitutional Court is the additional legal protection regime that women can have in marriage against misfortunes such as domestic violence and property loss. In doing so, married couples will be focused on the realization of islamic marriage of everlasting, peaceful and happy family.  Abstrak: Salah satu tujuan utama pernikahan adalah terbentuknya keluarga yang bahagia, kekal, penuh kasih sayang di antara suami istri. Namun di luar itu berkemungkinan terjadi permasalahan dalam perkawinan, sehingga butuh diadakan sebuah perjanjian perkawinan. Dalam Undang-Undang Perkawinan Nomor 1 Tahun 1974 pasal 29 ayat (1) disebutkan bahwa perjanjian perkawinan harus diadakan saat atau sebelum perkawinan dilaksanakan. Hal ini dapat mengganggu konsentrasi pasangan terhadap tujuan utama perkawinan. Ditetapkannya putusan MK Nomor 69/PUU/XIII/2015, menjadikan frasa “pada waktu atau sebelum perkawinan dilangsungkan” dalam pasal 29 ayat (1) dimaknai dengan “pada waktu, sebelum dilangsungkan atau selama dalam ikatan perkawinan”. Jadi, perjanjian perkawinan yang semula harus diadakan sebelum atau saat perkawinan dilangsungkan, sekarang boleh diadakan setelah perkawinan dilangsungkan selama dalam ikatan perkawinan. Implikasi dari hal ini adalah adanya perlindungan hukum lebih, terutama bagi perempuan agar tidak menjadi korban kekerasan dalam rumah tangga, menjamin perlindungan terhadap hak milik atau hak guna bangunan suatu harta, pasangan juga lebih fokus terhadap tujuan utama perkawinan yakni membentuk keluarga yang bahagia, kekal, penuh kasih sayang bersama pasangan.

The Status

The formation of the 1974 Marriage Law is based on Islamic Law, which became a problem when the Constitutional Court gave a decision on the judicial review of the Marriage Law with a decision that was considered by the public that the decision was against Islamic law. The research problem in this article is, How is the Politics of Law in the Reform of Legislation in the Post-Constitutional Court Ruling on Marriage related to the status of children outside of marriage? Does the Constitutional Court Decision No 46 / PUU-VII / 2010 contradict Islamic law?The research approach used in this research is normative juridical. The results of the study indicate that children who are born must receive legal protection. If this is not the case, then the children who are born outside of marriage will suffer losses. The relationship between the child and the father does not only occur because of a legal marriage, but can also be based on evidence of a blood relationship between the child and the boy as the father. This is because birth is a legal result of a legal relationship in which there are reciprocal rights and obligations between the child, mother and father. This decision refers, because there is a relationship that is carried out without any legal conditions for marriage, both religiously and in a state, so that it does not cause harm which implies a child who has not done anything wrong. In conclusion, the Constitutional Court granted the renewal of the norm in article 43 of the Marriage Law No. 1 of 1974, which is to provide constitutional rights for children born out of wedlock whether born from a legally valid marriage or not. The decision of the Constitutional Court related to the addition of article 43 paragraph (1) of this marriage law is still in the spirit of Islam as the struggle of Muslims to be able to apply their religious values in this law is not only legally religiously or nationally.

Apakah Putusan MK No 46/PUU-VII/2010 bertentangan dengan hukum Islam? Pendekatan penelitian ini yuridis normatif. Hasil penelitian menguraikan, anak yang lahir harus mendapat perlindungan hukum. Jika tidak, yang dirugikan adalah anak yang dilahirkan diluar perkawinan. hubungan anak dengan bapak tidak semata-mata terjadi karena adanya sebuah perkawinan yang sah, tapi berdasar pembuktian adanya hubungan darah antara anak dan laki-laki sebagai bapak. Hal ini karena kelahiran adalah akibat hukum dari hubungan hukum yang terdapat hak dan kewajiban secara timbal balik. Putusan ini mengacu, sebab adanya hubungan yang dilakukan tanpa adanya syarat pernikahan yang sah, baik secara agamadan negara, sehingga tidak menimbulkan kerugian yang berimplikasi pada anak yang tidak melakukan kesalahan.

ABSTRACT: Marriage is one important part in the journey of human’s life. According to the Law No. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage, Article 1: Marriage is a physical-mental bond between a man and a woman, as a husband and a wife, aiming to create an eternal and happy family/household based on God Almighty. Marriage aims to create a happy and eternal family/household.Article 7 (1) of the Marriage Law stipulates and regulates the age limit for a marriage. A marriage is allowed when the man is at least 19 (nineteen) years old, and the woman is at least 16 (sixteen) years old. Next in the verse 2 is stated that in the event of deviating the verse 1, this article is able to request a dispensation from the Court or other Officials which is appointed by both the parents of the man and the woman. Therefore, a dispensation from the Court or other Officials, which is appointed by both the parents of the man and the woman, is required in order to hold a marriage if those minimum ages are not attained yet.Indeed, a dispensation is able to be justified based on the law aspect (a dispensation is required from the Court or other Officials, appointed by both the parents of the man and the woman, if those minimum ages are not attained yet). The submission of an application for the marriage dispensation to the Court is a legal step, chosen by the applicant in order to legalize their marriage. However, the space for dispensing various forms of child marriage is in fact a form of violation towards the children’s rights, as stated in the legal consideration of the Decree of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia No. 22/PUU-XV/2017.Keyword: Marriage, Dispensation, Decree of Law ABSTRAK: Perkawinan merupakan salah satu bagian terpenting dalam perjalanan kehidupan manusia. Menurut ketentuan Undang-undang No. 1 Tahun 1974 tentang Perkawinan Pasal 1 : perkawinan adalah ikatan lahir batin antara seorang pria dengan seorang wanita sebagai suami isteri dengan tujuan untuk membentuk keluarga / rumah tangga yang bahagia dan kekal berdasarkan Ketuhanan Yang Maha Esa  Tujuan perkawinan adalah untuk membentuk keluarga / rumahtangga yang bahagia dan kekal.Pasal 7 (1) Undang-undang Perkawinan menetapkan dan mengatur perihal batas umur untuk melangsungkan perkawinan ; Perkawinan hanya diijinkan jika pihak pria sudah mencapai umur 19 (sembilan belas) tahun dan pihak wanita sudah mencapai umur 16 (enam belas) tahun. Selanjutnya dalam ayat 2 disebutkan bahwa; dalam hal penyimpangan terhadap ayat (1) pasal ini dapat meminta dispensasi kepada Pengadilan atau Pejabat lain yang ditunjuk oleh kedua orangtua pihak pria maupun pihak wanita. Dengan demikian apabila belum mencapai umur tersebut apabila hendak melangsungkan perkawinan diperlukan dispensasi dari Pengadilan atau Pejabat lain yang ditunjuk oleh kedua orangtua pihak pria maupun pihak wanita.Dari aspek hukum pemberian dispensasi memang dapat dibenarkan (apabila belum mencapai umur tersebut, untuk melangsungkan perkawinan diperlukan dispensasi dari Pengadilan atau Pejabat lain yang ditunjuk oleh kedua orangtua pihak pria maupun pihak wanita). Pengajuan permohonan dispensasi perkawinan ke Pengadilan adalah langkah hukum yang dipilih oleh Pemohon untuk melegalkan perkawinan. Akan tetapi “ruang” pemberian dispensasi terhadap berbagai bentuk perkawinan anak sebetulnya juga merupakan salah satu bentuk “pelanggaran” terhadap hak-hak anak, sebagai mana dinayatakan dalam pertimbangan hukum Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi No. 22/PUU-XV/2017.Kata Kunci: Perkawinan, Dispensasi, Dekresi Hukum

Islamic Marriage

The Indonesian Marriage Law Act Number 1/1974, and the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) regulate the constitutional law of polygamous marriage in Indonesia. The act states that the basic principle of marriage in Indonesia is monogamy. The act also says that the husband must show evidence telling his ability to fulfill his family needs. The study on these issues conducted in Indonesia is a part of the Indonesia Islamic family law. The neglected protection of the child’s rights in a family needs to be escorted through imposing the rules concerning it. This study aims to find out the implementation of the protection of child rights in Islamic law on polygamous marriage. This research employed a qualitative method with a socio-legal study case approach. The result of the study showed first, there is always a problem in the matter of the child’s rights that should be fulfilled by polygamist fathers that have to be protected. Second, the rights of children in polygamous marriage cannot be fulfilled equally especially in unrecorded polygamous marriages. Third, there is uncertainty in the marriage law related to the maturity of children who are still under the protection of parents, where this uncertainty will make it difficult to implement the law. Basically, the protection of children in polygamous marriages has been regulated in the Islamic Marriage Law in Indonesia. However, there are still many gaps in Islamic legal protection in child protection in polygamous marriages, plus there are still many people who do not comply and ignore it.

Abstract The central objective of the post-socialist European countries which are also Member States of the EU and Council of Europe, as proclaimed and enshrined in their constitutions before their official independence, is the establishment of a democracy based on the rule of law and effective legal protection of fundamental human rights and freedoms. In this article the author explains what, in his opinion, is the main problem and why these goals are still not sufficiently achieved: the ruthless simplification of the understanding of the social function and functioning of constitutional courts, which is narrow, rigid and holistically focused primarily or exclusively on the question of whether the judges of these courts are “left or right” in purely daily-political sense, and consequently, whether constitutional court decisions are taken (described, understood) as either “left or right” in purely and shallow daily-party-political sense/manner. With nothing else between and no other foundation. The author describes such rhetoric, this kind of superficial labeling/marking, such an approach towards constitutional law-making as a matter of unbearable and unthinking simplicity, and introduces the term A Populist Monster. The reasons that have led to the problem of this kind of populism and its devastating effects on the quality and development of constitutional democracy and the rule of law are analyzed clearly and critically.
