IMPLICATIONS OF CONSTITUTIONAL COURT DECISION NO. 69/PUU-XIII/2015 ON THE VALIDITY OF MARRIAGE CONTRACTS WITHIN INDONESIA’S MARRIAGE LEGAL SYSTEM
IMPLIKASI PUTUSAN MAHKAMAH KONSTITUSI NOMOR 69/PUU-XIII/2015 TERHADAP KEABSAHAN PERJANJIAN KAWIN DALAM SISTEM HUKUM PERKAWINAN DI INDONESIA
Abstract
A prenuptial agreement is a legal instrument used to regulate the legal
relationship between a husband and wife, particularly with regard to marital
property. Prior to Constitutional Court Decision No. 69/PUU-XIII/2015,
Article 29 of Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage restricted the execution of marriage
contracts to only before or at the time the marriage took place. This restriction
created legal issues for married couples who wished to enter into a marriage
contract after the marriage had already taken place. This study aims to analyze
the implications of Constitutional Court Decision No. 69/PUU-XIII/2015 on
the validity and legal consequences of prenuptial agreements. The study employs
a normative legal method using a statutory approach, a conceptual approach,
and a case-based approach. Legal materials were obtained from legislation, court
decisions, books, journals, and relevant legal literature and were analyzed
qualitatively. The results of the study indicate that the Constitutional Court’s
decision has altered the interpretation of Article 29 of the Marriage Law by
permitting the creation of a prenuptial agreement during the course of the
marriage. The validity of a marriage contract is no longer determined by the time
of its execution, but rather by the fulfillment of the requirements for a valid
contract as stipulated in Article 1320 of the Civil Code. Furthermore, this ruling
has implications for the regulation of marital property and legal relationships with third parties, thereby providing broader legal certainty for husbands and
wives in entering into marriage contracts after the marriage has taken place.
