Legal Implications of Prenuptial Agreements in Marriage in Indonesia: Between Protection of Rights and Justice

Prenuptial agreements in Indonesia are regulated in Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage, providing a legal framework for the arrangement of property and financial responsibilities of the spouses. This paper aims to analyze the legal implications of prenuptial agreements on the rights and obligations of husband and wife, as well as to explore the challenges faced in its application. The research methods used include normative approaches, juridical analysis, and comparative approaches to examine regulations in Indonesia and their comparison with other countries. The analysis results show that although prenuptial agreements can protect individual rights and create clarity in property management, their implementation is often hampered by social stigma and lack of legal understanding. The novelty of this study lies in a deeper understanding of the legal dynamics of prenuptial agreements in the modern context, as well as the need for regulatory adjustments to ensure fairness for all parties. In conclusion, prenuptial agreements have great potential in protecting the rights of couples, but they must be formulated fairly and transparently to create balance in the marriage relationship.
