Abstract

Marriage agreements remain a frequently debated and somewhat sensitive issue within the context of matrimony in Indonesia, notwithstanding their explicit existence in the country's legal regulations. Governed by the Marriage Law Number 1 of 1974 and addressed in the Civil Code (KUHPerdata/BW), marriage agreements are formulated by spouses before the solemnization of the marriage. However, a significant development occurred in 2015 when a constitutional challenge was raised against Article 29 of the Marriage Law Number 1 of 1974. In its definitive decision, the Constitutional Court ruled that marriage agreements could be established before, during, or after the marriage ceremony. This has engendered a considerable amount of both support and opposition, considering the numerous shifts that have ensued, such as legal inconsistencies, the potential for legal circumvention, and adverse consequences for the involved parties.

Key words: Marriage Agreement, Constitutional Court Decision, Analysis.

Bahasa Abstract

Perjanjian Perkawinan masih sering menjadi issue yang cukup tabu dalam ranah perkawinan di Indonesia, padahal keberadaannya cukup eksis dalam regulasi Indonesia. Perjanjian Perkawinan diatur dalam Undang-Undang Perkawinan Nomor 1 Tahun 1974 serta dapat pula ditemukan dalam KUHPerdata/ BW. Dalam kedua pengaturan ini, Perjanjian Perkawinan di buat sebelum di langsungkannya perkawinan oleh pasangan suami istri. Hingga pada tahun 2015, karena adanya pengajuan materi terhadap Pasal 29 UU Perkawinan Nomor 1 Tahun 1974, Mahkamah Konstitusi memutus dalam Amar Putusannya bahwa Perjanjian Perkawinan dapat dibuat sebelum, setelah, dan selama perkawinan dilangsungkan. Hal ini tentu menuai pro dan kontra mengingat banyaknya pergeseran yang timbul, misalnya saja inkonsistensi hukum, potensi penyelundupan hukum, dan kerugian bagi pihak-pihak yang terkait didalamnya.

Kata kunci: Perjanjian Perkawinan, Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi, Analisis.
