Efektifitas Penerpan UU Perkawinan Terhadap Perubahan Batas Usia Menikah Dini di Desa Sogilir Kabupaten Bolaang Mongondow Utara

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas penerapan Undang-Undang Nomor 16 Tahun 2019 sebagai revisi dari Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 1974 mengenai batas usia pernikahan dalam upaya mengurangi pernikahan dini di Desa Soligir, Kabupaten Bolmut. Selain itu, penelitian ini juga berupaya merumuskan langkah-langkah yang dapat diambil oleh pemerintah desa untuk meningkatkan pencegahan pernikahan di bawah umur. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pendekatan hukum empiris dengan teknik kualitatif, yang melibatkan observasi langsung serta wawancara dengan pihak terkait. Hasil penelitian tersebut menunjukkan bahwa Undang-Undang Nomor 16 Tahun 2019 tentang ketentuan terkait pernikahan yang berkaitan dengan batasan usia pernikahan belum diterapkan secara efektif. Minimnya upaya penyadaran pemerintah desa Soligir telah menghalangi masyarakat untuk memahami peraturan-peraturan yang berkaitan dengan perubahan hukum, padahal penerapan kebijakan ini berdampak pada menurunnya angka pernikahan dini di desa tersebut. Selain itu, upaya yang dilakukan aparat Desa Soligir dalam mencegah dan mengurangi pernikahan dini adalah dengan meningkatkan kesadaran akan perubahan Undang-Undang Perkawinan, memberikan pendidikan kesehatan reproduksi bagi remaja, dan menerapkan peraturan yang lebih tegas mengenai pernikahan dini di Desa Soligir. Oleh karena itu, dalam rangka meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat dan kepatuhan terhadap peraturan perundang-undangan yang relevan, Pemerintah Desa Soligir diharapkan dapat meningkatkan sosialisasi mengenai pengaturan batas usia pernikahan sesuai dengan Undang-Undang Perkawinan dan memberikan pemahaman yang lebih mendalam tentang akibat dari pernikahan dini.

This research examines the Analysis of Juvenile Court Judges' Decisions Based on John Rawls' Perspective in Ruling on Criminal Cases of Assault Resulting in Death Committed by Minors (Case Study of Decision Number 3/Pid.Sus-Anak/2024/PN.Kds). Currently, many minors are found to be involved in criminal acts, such as violence, as reflected in Decision Number 3/Pid.Sus-Anak/2024/PN.Kds. In this case, the minor collectively engaged in violent acts, including slashing, beating, and kicking the victim, which resulted in severe injuries and ultimately led to the victim's death.This study employs a literature review method and falls under normative legal research. The data is analyzed descriptively and refers to the current doctrinal legal concepts. The research is descriptive-analytical in nature. Based on the research analysis, it can be concluded that Decision Number 3/Pid.Sus-Anak/2024/PN.Kds complies with John Rawls' principles of justice. This decision has considered the fundamental rights of the child, aimed to balance retributive and restorative justice, and provided the minor with an opportunity for rehabilitation. The minor's actions met the qualifications of the charges filed against them, and there are specific provisions in Article 170, Paragraph (2), Clause 3 of the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP) in conjunction with Law No. 11 of 2012 on the Juvenile Criminal Justice System, which apply exclusively to individuals committing acts of violence.

Mediasi Digital sebagai Upaya Perlindungan Konsumen dalam Sengketa E-Commerce: Antara Praktik dan Kekosongan Hukum di Indonesia

  This study aims to analyze the legal recognition of digital mediation as a dispute resolution mechanism in e-commerce transactions in Indonesia. Amid the rapid growth of electronic commerce and the increasing potential for disputes between businesses and consumers, digital mediation emerges as a fast, efficient, and cost-effective alternative. This research employs a normative juridical method with a statutory and conceptual approach, analyzing secondary data such as laws and regulations, scholarly literature, and relevant court decisions. The findings indicate that while digital mediation practices have been implemented—especially by major e-commerce platforms—there is no legal framework that explicitly regulates the procedures, the validity of mediated agreements, or the legal protection for parties involved in digital mediation. This legal vacuum creates uncertainty and challenges in enforcing mediated settlements through litigation. The study concludes that there is an urgent need for regulatory reform that explicitly acknowledges and governs digital mediation, covering procedural standards, mediator ethics, and legal recognition of mediation outcomes within Indonesia’s civil law system. Keywords: digital mediation, e-commerce disputes, alternative dispute resolution, civil law, legal certainty

Analisis Yuridis Sebab Wakaf Tidak Dapat Dibatalkan Dalam Perspektif Putusan Pengadilan Agama

One form of legal act of a person or legal entity is called wakif. It is separating or handing over part of his property to be used and institutionalized forever or for a certain period of time according to his interests for the purposes of worship or public welfare, therefore wakif cannot be canceled. The purpose of this study is to determine the legal reasons so that wakif cannot be canceled from the perspective of the Religious Court's decision. This topic is interesting to study further even though the regulations are clear. There are still lawsuits for the cancellation of wakif that reach the legal realm. This research method uses a formal legal approach with analytical descriptive specifications. The source of research data was obtained from primary and secondary legal materials with data collection techniques from various libraries and literature studies. Data presentation is through descriptive, and the author's analysis method is through qualitative analysis. The results of the study indicate the need for the principle of legal certainty in wakif because wakif no longer has a legal bond with the wakif and returns to being the right of Allah SWT, and the wakif is not included as a legal subject in a lawsuit for the cancellation of wakif. The contribution of this study is to analogize wakif with a grant, by revoking or canceling a waqf. The law of canceling a waqif includes acts that are not permitted.

In the development of social media, we know the strength of netizens. Internet users in Indonesia, known as netizens, are very critical in defending truth and justice. After going through a long series of trials and having been proven through the Judicial Process and it was stated that Mbah Omen was only a victim of wrongful arrest and the State was obliged to compensate for the losses, all that remained was the follow-up process, namely the Execution process for compensation, which had been waiting for almost 5 years and there had been no news that the victim had been wrongly arrested by North Lampung Police officers, Oman Abdurrahman alias Mbah Oman through his Legal Counsel, Abdurachman asked the State to take responsibility through the Application Route to Netizens, namely the Viral Phenomenon.  In preparing this research, the author applied the Normative Juridical research method with a conceptual approach and a statutory approach. In compensation for losses due to the actions of law enforcement officials, the party who has the right to submit a request for compensation for the actions of the law enforcement officials is the suspect, defendant or convict.  Oman Abdurohman can apply for compensation and execution using the viral method which is now trendy with the term No Viral No Justice  

Kepastian Hukum Akta Otentik yang Dibuat oleh Notaris di Luar Wilayah Jabatannya

An authentic deed is the highest legal evidence in the civil evidence system made by a public official, namely a notary, who acts in accordance with his/her area of ​​office. Problems arise when a notary exercises his/her authority outside the area stipulated in his/her appointment letter, which is normatively prohibited by Article 17 paragraph (1) letter a of the Notary Law. This study aims to analyze the form of legal responsibility of a notary and the implications of legal certainty for deeds made outside the area of ​​office. By using normative legal methods and statutory, conceptual, and case study approaches, it was found that deeds made outside the area of ​​office lose their authentic nature and only have the power as private deeds. Notaries who violate these provisions can be subject to administrative, civil, and even criminal sanctions. This creates legal uncertainty for the parties interested in the deed and disrupts public trust in the notary profession. Therefore, compliance with the boundaries of the area of ​​office is an absolute requirement for the formal and substantial validity of an authentic deed.  

Perlindungan Hukum Bagi Masyarakat Atas Penggunaan Tanahnya Untuk Proyek Jalan Tol Demi Kepentingan Umum

The construction of toll roads often comes into contact with the community, because the land used in the construction often involves community land, legal protection efforts for the community whose land is used for the construction of toll roads for public interest are very important considering that community losses are often not paid. Like the case of the Bajaj Bajuri Mat Solar comedy soap opera actor who has not received compensation for the construction of the Cinere-Serpong Toll project. For the public interest, the community is legally protected from the use of their land for toll road projects. In addition to knowing the community's efforts to obtain compensation in accordance with legal provisions reviewed from Law Number 2 of 2012 concerning Land Acquisition for Public Interest, this is intended to ensure legal protection for the community regarding the use of their land for toll road projects. The research methodology used is the normative legal approach (normative legal research method). By examining the laws and regulations and library sources, a normative legal research approach was carried out. This study focuses on library research to examine the legal materials used, both primary, secondary, and tertiary. The results of the study indicate that there is an imbalance between the legal provisions stipulated in the law and the reality of its application in the field. These factors include the lack of information in the community regarding the legal protection provided or the lack of public knowledge about community rights. Although some people are not satisfied with the compensation they receive, they can file a lawsuit with the local district court within 14 days of the minutes of the deliberation being signed to obtain the value and form of compensation. The government has ensured that the community can obtain their rights by following the deliberation path with the land institution with the recipient party. The lack of knowledge of the lower class community to obtain legal assistance and the large number of people who do not know their legal rights regarding land ownership are obstacles in defending the community whose land is used for toll road construction. This often causes them to be unable to fight for their rights when their land is used for public interest. .

Sengketa Agraria di Era Investasi Asing: Tantangan Perlindungan Hak Masyarakat Adat

Over the past decade, Indonesia has experienced a significant surge in agrarian conflicts, largely driven by large-scale foreign investment in sectors such as plantations, mining, and National Strategic Projects (NSPs). These conflicts stem from overlapping regulations between customary law and national law, weak recognition of customary land rights, and the implementation of the Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) principle, which often remains a mere formality. Data from the Consortium for Agrarian Reform (2015-2024) records at least 3,234 conflicts affecting 7.4 million hectares of land and involving approximately 1.8 million households. The impacts extend beyond environmental degradation, leading to the loss of traditional livelihoods, social disintegration, and the erosion of indigenous cultural identity. This study employs a qualitative approach with a juridical-normative method through an analysis of legal frameworks, international legal instruments, and academic literature. The findings reveal a significant gap between the normative recognition of indigenous rights and their practical implementation. FPIC is not applied substantively, resulting in minimal community participation and unilateral project decisions. These findings underscore the urgency of policy reform to harmonize national law with customary law, strengthen the registration mechanism for customary land rights, and ensure the transparent and equitable implementation of FPIC. Such measures are essential to align economic development with the protection of indigenous rights and the principles of sustainability.
