SOCIAL AND RELIGIOUS DIMENSIONS OF CHILDREN’S INHERITANCE IN TURKEY, SAUDI ARABIA AND INDONESIADOI : 10.30821/miqot.v46i1.870

SUMMARY

Abstract: This paper explores the framework of inheritance provisions for biological children and adopted children in three different countries, namely Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Indonesia. The reinterpretation of children's inheritance rights in society today demonstrates the increasing response to social context vis a vis religious text. Turkey and Indonesia share an emphasis on social dimension in reinterpreting children's inheritance rights for men and women portions. Saudi Arabia, however, is remained to adopt conservative approach in interpreting the religious texts wherein men’s share twice as much as women. This research is a normative (doctrinal) approach in comparing legal issues on inheritance exercised in three countries. The data are based on literature such as regulation, books, journals, and related articles. This paper argues that socio-cultural conditions, political dynamics and ideological mainstream shape the nature of law in each country. Abstrak: Tulisan ini menggali pengembangan ketentuan kewarisan anak kandung dan anak angkat di tiga negara yaitu Turki, Saudi Arabia dan Indonesia. Reinterpretasi hak waris anak dari negara-negara yang menjadi objek riset ini menunjukkan bahwa aspek social dan keagamaan menjadi bagian poin dalam menempatkan hak anak yang diambil dari teks keagamaan. Turki dan Indonesia cenderung melihat aspek social menjadi penafsiran ulang terhadap hak waris anak, dimana laki-laki dan perempuan di Turki mendapat porsi sama. Sedangkan di Indonesia, hak anak angkat diposisikan secara social dengan mendapat wasiat wajibah. Saudi Arabia, pada sisi lain, cenderung konservatif dengan menafsirkan ayat-ayat waris bagi anak laki-laki dan perempuan secara literal. Penelitian ini ialah penelitian normatif dengan pendekatan Perundang-Undangandan pendekatan Komparatif. Sumber-sumber kajian riset ini yaitu berupa peraturan perundangan, buku, jurnal dan artikel terkait. Paper ini menyimpulkan bahwa perubahan hukum di tiap negara berhubungan erat dengan kondisi social budaya, dinamika politik dan ideologi yang berkembang. Keywords: inheritance of biological children, adopted children, turkey, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia
