Kewenangan Negara dalam Pengaturan Poligami di Indonesia: Analisis Konstitusional terhadap Pembatasan Hak dan Perlindungan Keluarga

Polygamy regulation in Indonesia lies at the intersection of Islamic family law, state authority, and citizens’ constitutional rights. This study examines the constitutional basis of state authority over polygamy and the limits of that authority, using three benchmarks: the rule of law, constitutional rights, and family protection. It employs normative legal research with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, centered on Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage and Constitutional Court Decision No. 12/PUU-V/2007. The findings show that the state has a constitutional basis to regulate polygamy through court permits, provided that it acts within legality, respects constitutional rights, and ensures that protection actually reaches family members.
