Marital Property & Inheritance in Indonesia's Religious Courts

The intersection of marital property and inheritance often gives rise to complex legal issues. The classification of assets, sequence of deaths, debts of the deceased, transfer of property, evidentiary questions, and judicial reasoning may all influence how the rights of the parties are ultimately determined.
This monograph examines these issues systematically, from the legal construction of marital property and inheritance to their application in an actual dispute. Bawean Islamic Court Decision No. 72/Pdt.G/2024/PA.Bwn serves as the central case through which facts, evidence, legal norms, ratio decidendi, and the operative judgment are critically and constructively examined.
Beyond assessing whether a judicial decision is simply right or wrong, the book draws broader lessons for the development and resolution of marital property and inheritance disputes before Indonesia’s Islamic courts. It is an important reference for judges and court officials, academics, advocates, legal practitioners, law students, and scholars of Islamic family law seeking a deeper and more practical understanding of these issues.
