2025-05-10T18:58:27+00:00

Authority is all things that are able to cover the essential needs of every human being, which can be obtained from other persons. The idea of eigendom in civil law is the authority to freely grasp the benefits of each good and act freely over the goods in total, provided that they are in accordance with different regulations, public order and the authority of different persons. But in agrarian eigendom appears as a regenerational, solidest and most complete authority but limited by the role of society. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method with the type of library research data collection. The legal materials obtained are classified and analyzed by content analysis using the eigendom comparison method in private law and agrarian law. From the answer to the problem formulation, the result was obtained that both discussed extensively about eigendom, but had their own uniqueness as a consequence of the varied initial concept. The regulation of property rights in western private law is broader in scope (not only land ownership) although the regulation is not comprehensive, and the granting of authority is not balanced with obligations. In the agrarian law, property rights are regulated in detail, but the focus of eigendom on land is limited by community duties, there is a balance of obligations and authority.

Empowering Communities: The Role of Zakat in Alleviating Poverty and Promoting Economic Growth in Indonesia

2025-05-15T05:22:25+00:00

Poverty remains a major development challenge in Indonesia despite various government programs. In this context, zakat as an Islamic economic instrument holds significant potential to address economic inequality and improve community welfare. However, the optimal utilization of zakat to support economic empowerment and development has yet to be fully realized. This study aims to analyze the role of zakat in alleviating poverty and promoting economic growth in Indonesia, as well as to identify obstacles and strategies for optimizing its management. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing literature review and secondary data analysis from zakat institutions’ reports, academic publications, and national statistics. Additionally, case studies were conducted on economic empowerment programs based on zakat implemented by several prominent zakat institutions in Indonesia. The findings indicate that zakat plays a significant role in increasing the income of zakat recipients (mustahik), expanding access to micro business capital, and encouraging economic self reliance. Productive zakat programs are proven to be more effective in the long term compared to consumptive zakat distribution. Nevertheless, challenges such as low zakat literacy, unequal distribution, and the lack of integration between zakat institutions and government programs remain key barriers. The study recommends enhancing collaboration among institutions, utilizing digital technology for zakat collection and distribution, and strengthening regulations and public education as strategies to maximize zakat's potential in national economic development.

2025-06-23T17:20:55+00:00

The inclusion of halal labels on food products is one of the consumer protection efforts, especially for Muslims who are required to consume halal food according to their religious teachings. From a legal perspective in Indonesia, the provisions regarding halal labels are regulated in Law Number 33 of 2014 concerning Halal Product Assurance (UU JPH), which requires every product that enters, circulates, and is traded in the territory of Indonesia to be halal certified, unless stated otherwise. The method used in this study is normative juridical with data collection techniques through document studies. This obligation is not only normative, but also has a broad impact on the practices of production, distribution, and consumption of food products. The implications of this regulation are very significant, especially in guaranteeing the rights of Muslim consumers to obtain certainty and comfort in consuming products that are in accordance with religious values. In addition, the inclusion of halal labels also affects consumer trust, product competitiveness, and the growth of the national halal industry. This study aims to analyze the legal basis for the inclusion of halal labels, the implementation mechanism, and its impact on the social and religious life of the Muslim community in Indonesia.

Problematics of Granting Dispensation for Marriage that Leads to Child Divorce Study at Pasuruan Class 1A Religious Court

2025-06-25T15:44:14+00:00

The granting of marriage dispensation to minors is an increasingly widespread phenomenon in Indonesia even though the minimum age of marriage has been raised through the revision of the Marriage Law. This study aims to analyse the problematics of granting marriage dispensation and its implications for the high rate of child divorce. Through a qualitative approach with case studies and analysis of data from the Pasuruan Religious Court and related agencies, this study found that many marriage dispensations were granted due to cultural factors, pregnancy outside marriage, and family pressure. However, the emotional, economic and social unpreparedness of young couples proved to be the main factor triggering divorce at a young age. These findings suggest that the process of granting marriage dispensation tends to be a mere formality without considering the psychological readiness of the prospective bride and groom. Therefore, there is a need to evaluate the marriage dispensation policy and strengthen premarital education and child protection to prevent the long-term impact of child divorce.

Uang Titik as a Land Utilization Contract in Mining: An Analysis of Justice and Legal Certainty from the Perspective of Islamic Economic Law

2025-06-26T17:09:37+00:00

The practice of ‘uang titik’ in artisanal gold mining activities in Hutabargot Sub-district is a form of unwritten contract between landowners and miners in land utilisation. The money point is given as an initial permit accompanied by a profit-sharing scheme of 20% for the landowner, while all risks are borne by the miner. This research aims to analyse the justice and legal certainty aspects of the practice of uang titik based on the perspective of sharia economic law. This research uses a qualitative approach with a normative-empirical method, through in-depth interviews, field observations, and literature studies. The results show that in principle, the practice of uang titik is acceptable in Islamic law through the 'urf approach, but there are inequalities in the distribution of risks and profits, as well as the absence of a written contract which creates legal uncertainty and potential injustice. Therefore, it is necessary to reformulate the contract with a fairer and more transparent approach to be in line with the principles of maqashid sharia, namely justice, protection of the rights of related parties, and environmental sustainability. This study recommends strengthening agreement documents and sharia law education for the community as applicable and sustainable solutions

Analysis of the Legal Implications of TikTok's Exoneration Clause on Platform Liability Under Indonesian Consumer Protection Law

2025-06-26T17:20:30+00:00

The development of digital technology raises new legal issues, especially related to the provisions on the limitation of platform liability (exoneration) in consumer protection efforts. Consumers often encounter obstacles in seeking justice because platforms generally claim to only act as intermediaries, thus denying responsibility for problems arising between third parties. TikTok's limitations on liability in its legal relationship with consumers need to be studied further because they are related to the protection of consumer rights in the digital era. This study analyzes the exoneration clause in TikTok's terms and conditions from the perspective of Consumer Protection Law in Indonesia. The focus of the study is on the exoneration clause set by TikTok, which limits users' rights to obtain compensation for certain losses. Based on the results of the analysis, this clause has the potential to conflict with Article 18 of Law No. 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection because it eliminates the balance of rights and obligations between TikTok and users. The limitation of liability that only reaches the total payment in the last 12 months is considered unbalanced and has the potential to harm users. Through this study, it is recommended that the clause be changed so that it can be in line with the principles of justice and applicable regulations, then can provide protection for consumers and avoid legal risks in the future.
