Indonesia has a highly complex family law system, with different rules for Muslims and non-Muslims. This chapter offers a comprehensive overview of the rules governing marriage for both groups, including registration requirements, the status of unregistered marriages, foreign marriage, mixed marriage, underage marriage, and polygamy. It also explains divorce law (including the grounds for ‘ talak ’ divorces, custody and maintenance rules, and rujuk or reconciliation), and the different forms of property dealt with when a marriage ends: harta bersama (joint matrimonial property) and harta bawaan (pre-marital property). The last part of the chapter deals with inheritance. It describes the detailed rules that apply to Muslims under the Kompilasi Hukum Islam (Compilation of Islamic Law) and to non-Muslims under the Civil Code, and how courts have interpreted them to allow more equitable divisions of deceased estates between genders.
