Tinjauan Yuridis Normatif Hak Waris Anak dalam Perkawinan Siri Berdasarkan Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Nomor 46/PUU-VIII/2010

Analisis hukum mengenai hak waris anak dalam perkawinan siri merupakan isu yang penting dalam konteks hukum di Indonesia, meskipun praktek ini sering muncul dalam masyarakat. Isu ini menimbulkan berbagai implikasi hukum, terutama yang berkaitan dengan hak waris anak yang lahir dari hubungan tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hak waris anak dalam konteks perkawinan siri berdasarkan hukum perdata yang berlaku. Metode penelitian yang diterapkan adalah yuridis normatif, dengan pendekatan yang mencakup analisis undang-undang, studi kasus, serta putusan hakim. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa anak yang lahir dari perkawinan siri secara otomatis memiliki hak waris terhadap ibunya, sementara hak waris terhadap ayahnya harus dibuktikan secara hukum, melalui mekanisme pengakuan atau penetapan hubungan darah di pengadilan. Meskipun perkawinan siri diakui dalam perspektif agama, status hukum anak yang dihasilkan dari jenis perkawinan ini seringkali menjadi perdebatan. Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Nomor 46/PUU-VIII/2010 memberikan kepastian bahwa anak yang lahir dari perkawinan siri berhak atas warisan dari ayah biologisnya, asalkan hubungan darahnya dapat dibuktikan. Hal ini menandai perubahan signifikan dalam perlakuan hukum terhadap anak hasil perkawinan siri, yang sebelumnya dipandang sebagai anak luar kawin dan hanya memiliki hak waris dari ibu. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan perlunya reformasi hukum serta penguatan peran pengadilan dalam menjamin kepastian dan keadilan hukum bagi anak dalam konteks hak waris.

Legal analysis of children’s inheritance rights in unregistered marriages is an important issue in the context of Indonesian law, even though this practice is common in society. This issue raises various legal implications, especially those related to the inheritance rights of children born from such relationships. This study aims to analyze the inheritance rights of children in the context of unregistered marriages based on applicable civil law. The research method applied is normative legal, with an approach that includes analysis of laws, case studies, and court decisions. The results of the analysis showed that children born from unregistered marriages automatically have inheritance rights to their mother, while inheritance rights to their father must be proven legally, through a mechanism of recognition or determination of blood relations in court. Although unregistered marriages are recognized from a religious perspective, the legal status of children born from this type of marriage is often debated. Constitutional Court Decision Number 46/PUU-VIII/2010 provides certainty that children born from unregistered marriages are entitled to inheritance from their biological fathers, provided that their blood relationship can be proven. This marks a significant change in the legal treatment of children born from unregistered marriages, who were previously considered illegitimate and only had inheritance rights from their mothers. This study recommends the need for legal reform and strengthening the role of the courts in ensuring legal certainty and justice for children in the context of inheritance rights.
