No. June 2024 | 149 INTRODUCTION The status of marriage validity determines the legal protection for both spouses and their offspring. Law No. 1/1974 on Marriage . ereinafter referred to as Law No. 1/1. as amended by Law No. 16/2019 on the Amendment of Law No. 1/1974 . ereinafter referred to as Law 16/2. , stipulates that a marriage will be considered valid if it is carried out in accordance with the religious beliefs of the couple concerned . ubstantive requirement. and administered . ormal requirement. in accordance with applicable regulations (Article 2 paragraphs . juncto Article 8 letter . Marriage registration is conducted at the Religious Affairs Office (KUA) for Muslims and at the Civil Registration Office (DUKCAPIL) for Muslims. 2 non-Muslims. This is done to provide legal certainty and legal protection, because the main purpose of this law is to create order and balance in the order of society in order to realize order in accordance with the applicable The Religious Court has the authority to determine the validity of marriage through the itsbat nikah procedure due to nikah sirri. 2 However, the request for itsbat nikah is not always accepted by the Religious Court because it is considered that it does not fulfill the conditions of marriage or there is a violation of the principles of marriage that results in the cancellation of the marriage . ikah fasi. This impacts on the validity of the marriage substantively and formally, and which in turn affects the status of the children from the 3 Children born into a registered marriage will be recognized as legally legitimate. Meanwhile, children born from unregistered marriages, whether substantively valid . n accordance with religious principle. or formally or administratively invalid, are both considered legally illegitimate. For illegitimate children, legal remedies can be made through the process of itsbat nikah and child validation through filing a lawsuit or application for the origin of the child with the Religious Court. In the context of Islamic law, fiqh scholars have differing opinions on the definition and criteria of a void marriage . According to the Hambali scholars, a fasid marriage is one that does not fulfill its conditions, while if there are defects in certain elements, then the marriage can be considered void. For example, according to Hambali, the presence of 1 Sudikno Mertokusumo. Knowing Law: An Introduction (Yogyakarta: Cahaya Atma Pustaka, 2. , 99. 2 Unrecorded marriages are known by several terms, such as kawin sirri, kawin di bawah tangan, kawin syar'i, kawin modin, and often also called kawin kiyai. What is meant by sirri marriage in the context of marriage law is marriage in general in Islam, where there are several conditions and pillars that must be fulfilled such as the existence of a prospective bride, guardian, 2 witnesses, aqad and masawin. In Indonesian Marriage Law, nikah sirri is a marriage practice, either monogamous or polygamous, that is not registered at the local Religious Affairs Office. The sirri marriage has been studied by many researchers including: Anwar Hafidzi et al. , "Sirri Marriage Celebration and Its Impact on Social Change in Banjarese Community.

Substantive provisions related to marriage can be found in Law No. 1/1974 and the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), which is the result of the agreement of most scholars with a background in the Syafi'i school of thought. Law No. 1/1974 and KHI regulate the prohibition of marriage and the annulment of marriage. Marriage prohibitions can include technical aspects (Article 7 of Law No. 1/1. and permanent or temporary prohibitions (Article 8 to Article 12 of Law No. 1/1974 and Article 40 to Article 44 of KHI). Regarding marriage annulment, this procedure is regulated in Article 28. Articles 39 to 44 of Law No. 1/1974, and Articles 70 to 76 of KHI. However, these regulations do not explicitly regulate void marriages . ikah fasi. The problem of clarifying the status of children born from a failed marriage can indeed be submitted to the Religious Court, but not all applications for the origin of children submitted are accepted by the judge. For example, several religious courts in South Kalimantan rejected applications for the origin of children for various reasons. Among them are because the woman is still bound by her first husband's marriage . (Case No. 38/Pdt. P/2017/PA. Bjb. the woman is in the waiting period . or the marriage guardian is not the nasab guardian in accordance with the provisions of Islamic law (Article 1 letter b KHI), but the wali muhakkam appointed by the village head as the marriage guardian (Case No. 581/Pdt. P/2020/PA Bj. 7 Another reason, in Case 38/Pdt. P/2017/PA. Bjb, was that one of the applicants was still bound by a previous marriage because it had not been divorced through the Religious Court. The applicants entered into an unlawful marriage and gave birth to a child. After the birth of the child, the two entered into a legal marriage. In this case, the Panel of Judges rejected the application on the basis that the status of Applicant II, who was still bound to her previous husband, was something that Applicant I and Applicant II were aware of, so it could not be considered a void marriage . ikah fasi. As a result, the children of the applicants could not be recognized as descendants of their father. A child can be said to have a legitimate nasab relationship with his father if he is born from a legal marriage, both materially and formally. Conversely, a child born outside a legal marriage cannot be called a legitimate child and is usually called an adulterous child or a child outside a legal marriage and he only has a nasab relationship with his mother. According to Rofik, talking about the origin of children is actually talking about legitimate 5 Wahbah Zuhaily. Al-Fiqhul Islamy Wa 'Adillatuhuh. Volume 7 (Beirut: Dar al-Fikr, 1. , 686-87.

No. June 2024 | 151 9 In some cases about the determination of the origin of children in the Religious Court, there are some differences between one case and another because of differences in understanding and beliefs of the Religious Court judges about the status of the child, whether the legitimate child of the father and mother, the biological child of the father of the mother, the child of the mother who has a biological and civil relationship with the father, or the child recognized as the child of the father of the mother who does not clearly mention whether the child is legitimate or not. Of course, with the difference in determination, there are different legal consequences for the child. The origin of the child is the basis for showing the existence of a relationship of kemahraman . with his father. This is what is believed in Sunni Jurisprudence. The scholars agree that adulterated children, or li'an children only have a nasab relationship with their mother and mother's siblings. Determining a child's nasab is one of the most important rights of a child and is something that has a lot of impact on the child's personality and A child must know about his descendants, because the origin of which concerns the offspring and is very important to take life in society. Based on the above background, this research aims to reveal and critically analyze the considerations of Religious Court judges in South Kalimantan in determining the origin and status of children from facade marriages and construct an ideal law for determining the origin of children based on a progressive legal perspective. There are several relevant previous studies on facade marriages and child protection in facade marriages. Among them is Rofahiyah's research12 , which examines normatively the concept of protection of children outside of marriage.

Article 5 stipulates that every child has the right to a name as an identity and citizenship status, and Article 7 Paragraph . that every child has the right to know his or her parents, to be raised, and to be cared for by his or her own parents. In this case the judge seemed to consider the psychological aspects of the child who would be disturbed because they did not know who their parents were if they held the status of illegitimate children. The judge considered that the sins of the parents should not be a burden for the child, especially since the sins were committed due to ignorance and not intentionally by the applicants when they got married. This is in line with the Qur'an Surah Al-An'am Verse 164. To ensure the protection of children's rights and welfare, the status and identity of children must be legalized as stipulated in the Child Protection Law, namely in Article 27 Paragraph . and Paragraph . However, in the dictum of the ruling of the Religious Court above there are differences in the diction of children, such as the biological children of the applicants, biological children of the applicants, children of the applicants, biological children of the applicants, or biological children of the applicants. Meanwhile, the term biological child refers to the decision of the Constitutional Court Number 46/PUUVi/2010, and there is no definite rule in positive law. Islamic law, and fiqhiyah doctrines.

Number No. Legal Basis for Rejecting the Application Intensity Referrals 451: The definition of shubhat marriage is when a person marries an invalid marriage, which is agreed to be invalid, but is not enforced. Such as marrying a woman who is still in 'iddah, or a woman who is his fifth wife, or a woman who is his mahram, if he is unaware of that, and he has had intercourse with her, or he has had intercourse with a woman whom he thought was his wife. So all these women are haraam for the man concerned, including anything other than Kitab Al Muhazzab Juz II page 320 which means: If the claim . is not proven, then the claim 7,69% 7,69% must be rejected. Kitab al-Nikah page 11 . pinion of Shaykh Muhammad Arshad al-Banjar. : "It is haraam for a man to approach a married woman and a woman in 'iddah if he is aware of that and knows that it is haraam. It is also haraam to go to a woman who is being proposed to by someone else, provided that the proposal is clearly accepted, and he is aware of the circumstances of the proposal and knows that it is haraam. Looking at the 13 cases in table 1. 4 above, the panel of judges assessed the applicant's marital status as invalid, leading to the rejection of the application for child origins. The panel of judges did not consider the rights of the child, the sense of justice and the benefit of the child. It can be understood that the panel of judges tended to be very textual in understanding and using some of the legal basis above so that they only questioned the disability in the marriage of the parties/applicants. The panel of judges did not pay attention to the fiqhiyyah rule, that the law in a region can change along with changes in the times, places, culture, and civilization of the region. 28 If they prioritize textual 28 As quoted by Hidayati and Hidayatullah from Ma'ylim Ushyl al-Fiqh 'Ind Ahl as-Sunnah wa al-Jamy'ah by Muhammad bin Husain bin Hasan al Jaizyny.

See also Tri Hidayati et al. , "Digitalization of Islamic Finance: Epistemological Study of the National Sharia Board- SYARIAH : Jurnal Hukum dan Pemikiran Volume 24. No. June 2024 | 161 understanding of Islamic law, it shows that Islamic law is rigid and not pro-social justice. This certainly injures the values of divine justice taught in Islam. Relevant to Zuhaily's opinion in Sodikin, that when justice comes from religion, then Islamic Law places God as the source of religion. 29 Likewise. Askari and Mirakor emphasized that justice correlates with the level and extent to which a person obeys God's commands in a society with an overtly religious culture. 30 The concept of justice that is attributed to the divine teachings can be understood as an effort to maintain the obligation for the continuation of existence and the acquisition of grace in all aspects of life, because God's justice is basically His grace and goodness. So many legal changes have occurred in Islam, especially in marriage law, which in essence is to maintain the religion of Islam itself . ifz al-dy. 32 and the benefit of the people in order to live life properly according to Islamic law. These legal changes in the context of the judiciary are realized by rechtsvinding or legal discovery carried out by judges which ultimately becomes jurisprudence which is included in one of the formal sources of law in the Indonesian legal system. 33 The process of legal discovery through ijtihad of Religious Judges, must go side by side with legal progressivity which in substance is responsiveness to social symptoms that occur and often change over time and advance the development of law and national civilization. Ideal Legal Construction in Determining the Origin of Children from Fasid Marriage Progressive Legal Perspective The case of a petition for the origin of a child is a case that clearly arises from the marriage of a husband and wife who are only materially valid, therefore they need a religious court determination to fulfill formal legality to obtain a child's birth certificate. Judges are part of the actors of judicial power in Indonesia who must be independent as intended by Law Number 48 of 2009 concerning Judicial Power in Article 5 states that judges must explore, follow and understand the values of law and a sense of justice that lives in society.

The law should continue to develop towards better perfection. This quality towards perfection is what is always sought and pursued by the panel of judges in seeking the truth to provide justice, legal certainty, and the welfare of the justice-seeking community. Justice is the main goal in law enforcement, as a noble aspiration that develops along with the development of society. 37 According to Yahya Harahap, the judge's decision in principle is to resolve case disputes. 38 Through the judge's decision, it is hoped that the problems faced by the applicants and the applicant's children as seekers of justice in the religious court can be resolved. By using contra legem, the judge must certainly have clear and sharp legal considerations from various other legal aspects. 39 According to Nasir Asnawi, the function of the Decision is also as a reformer, namely as a reformer in the normative order . egal rules or norm. and a reformer in the practical order . he dynamics of law that occur in 40 This thinking led to the birth of progressive law in the Decision or determination of the panel of Judges, because Judges are required to not only consider juridical aspects, but also multidisciplinary aspects such as sociological, philosophical and historical aspects so that legal justice, public justice and moral justice in the decision / determination of the judge can be realized. Even according to Bagir Manan, if the application of the law based on existing laws will cause injustice and harm to the community, then the judge is obliged to side with real justice . oral justic. and has the right to override the existing laws or rules of legislation . egal justic. A good law is a law that is in accordance with the living law in society . he living la. , which reflects local wisdom or values that exist and apply in a society . ocial justic. 41 Therefore, judges have a very important role in legal policy or politics which always makes the court one of the objects of legal reform. The judge's decision on the case of the origin of children from a fasid marriage becomes a legal product as well as a source of material law . in Indonesia, so that judges are also law makers. Based on the data of this research, there are three main problems that need to be examined, namely the legal consideration of the marital status of the applicants, the legal consideration of the application for the origin of the child from the fasid marriage, and the certainty of the use of child diction in the verdict. In the context of legal protection of children, a progressive approach is needed in using legal arguments 35 Adi Nur Rohman, - Sugeng, and Hesti Widyaningrum, "Instrumentation of Ex-Officio Rights of Religious Courts Judge Related to Fulfilling Children and Wife's Rights Due to Divorce," Journal of Law & Development 50, no. 2 (September 28, 2. : 369, https://doi. org/10. 21143/jhp. 36 Suci Ramadhan and Jm Muslimin, "Indonesian Religious Court Decisions on Child Custody Cases: Between Positivism and Progressive Legal Thought," JURIS (Sharia Scientific Journa. 21, no. 1 (June 10, 2. 92Ae93, https://doi. org/10. 31958/juris. 37 Satjipto Rahardjo.

No. June 2024 | 163 for judges in making a determination of the origin of children from a failed marriage in the Religious Court. 43 The legal construction in question does not mean to rule out the existence of laws and regulations that are already in force but rather so that judges can consider juridical aspects, sociological aspects, and philosophical aspects in preparing legal There are several juridical foundations that must be taken into consideration by the panel of judges in deciding the case of an application for the origin of children in the Religious Court, namely:44 The 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia The right of children to live a decent and respectable life is regulated in Article 28B Paragraph . and Article 28I Paragraph . of the 1945 Constitution. Every child has the right to live and develop optimally, to be protected from violence and discrimination, the right to freedom of thought and conscience, the right to religion, the right not to be enslaved, the right to be recognized as a person before the law, and the right not to be prosecuted on the basis of retroactive laws are human rights that cannot be reduced under any circumstances. All of these rights must be possessed by children, regardless of the quality of the legality of their parents' marriage. The panel of judges should consider children's rights to legal status and equal justice before the law. There are only two legal statuses of children, legitimate children and illegitimate children. This constitutional norm also has the consequence that if the application for the origin of the child is accepted or granted by the panel of judges, then the legal status as a legitimate child must be given to the applicant child, he must be treated equally before the public. Law Number 1 of 1974 Concerning Marriage Marriage issues carried out by Muslims in Indonesia are specifically regulated in the Marriage Law . ege speciali. , while what is regulated in the Compilation of Islamic Law is an elaboration of the Marriage Law so that if there are still doubts for the panel of judges in understanding the provisions of marriage in the Compilation of Islamic Law, it must be returned to the Marriage Law. The annulment of marriage or rejection of Itsbat nikah by the Panel of judges should not apply retroactively to the existence of their children. In accordance with the provisions of Article 28 of the Marriage Law, the status of the children of the Plaintiffs must be returned to the status of the validity of the marriage believed by the parties involved, because this is a form of legal justice that has been regulated in the Marriage Law. granting the origin of the child from the Fasid marriage, even though the parents' marriage was annulled due to problems, this provides basic protection rights for these children, where children who are born pure and clean do not accept and bear the sins or mistakes of their parents, legal justice is truly realized for the child. Furthermore. Article 44 Paragraph . gives the husband the right to refuse to recognize a child born by his wife, if he can prove that his wife had an affair and the child is the result of the affair. Against this provision, it needs to be understood more broadly, namely that as long as no one denies the legitimacy of the child of the Plaintiffs, then it should be considered as their legitimate child, because if you pay attention to the provisions 43 Zainal Azwar dkk.

Therefore, the simple interpretation in relation to Paragraph . is that the status of illegitimate children is determined only for children resulting from adultery, not for children resulting from marriages with material, formal or both problems, because the substance of the marriage cannot be aligned with adultery. The issue of the validity of the marriage of the child's parents is indeed one of the basic considerations in resolving the case of determining the origin of the child in the Religious Court, but it is not the main element in accepting or rejecting the application. The most important thing is the existence of the child with his parents, whether the child is truly recognized by both parents as their biological child, whether this child has been well cared for by the petitioners, and the absence of other parties who object to the status of the child if it is determined to be the legitimate child of the Petitioners. This is justified in accordance with the concept of Islamic law, namely the term child recognition . and the Civil Code procedure with the term Recognition of children outside marriage. Law Number 39 Year 1999 on Human Rights Indonesia is a rechtstaat or state of law, therefore ratification of the Human Rights Convention is a must in every regulation issued by the State, including the Supreme Court and its jurisprudence. The Human Rights Law is an elaboration of the Human Rights provisions set out in the Indonesian constitution, namely in the 1945 Constitution. The existence of this Law is a clear alignment of the state towards the protection of children's rights, especially as stipulated in Article 52 Paragraph . , which means that children have rights that are part of human rights, so it is important for the law to recognize and protect children's rights, even from the womb. Article 53 Paragraphs . state that every child has the right to live, maintain their life, and improve their quality of life since they are still in the womb. The state also guarantees a child's right from birth to have a proper name and appropriate citizenship status. The judges are not only the 'representatives of God' in the world, but also as a father or a mother who has a child so that sociologically and psychologically they can feel the spiritual atmosphere of the parties who have difficulty obtaining guarantees for the basic rights of their children. Law Number 23 Year 2002 on Child Protection Indonesia is a state of law, which applies protection to human rights for its citizens, as well as in Islamic law which protects the rights of the people and pays attention to the problems of the people. Therefore, the Child Protection Law must be one of the main juridical bases by the panel of judges in considering accepting the case of determining the origin of children in the Religious Court. Article 2 of the Child Protection Law is an important norm to note, that judges should consider the best interests of the child, even though the parents' marriage is a problematic marriage. Furthermore, to ensure the implementation of the protection of children's rights and welfare, the status and identity of children must be legalized . n the form of birth certificate. as stipulated in Article 27 Paragraph . and Paragraph . of the Child Protection Law, and progressive judges' considerations do not look back by reconsidering the issue of the validity of their parents' marriage, but must look forward to the benefits and best interests of children. Al-QurAoan Surah Al-AnAoam Verse 164 Allah SWT in the Qur'an Surah Al-An'am Verse 164 has emphasized that the actions carried out by a servant the consequences are only accepted or charged to that servant. SYARIAH : Jurnal Hukum dan Pemikiran Volume 24. No. June 2024 | 165 Each individual is responsible for his own sinful deeds, and will not be held accountable for others. Therefore, in the context of fasad marriage, the problems of a marriage must be borne by the person concerned . , not to be a burden for their children. Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad narrated by Imam Bukhori (HR. Bukhori. No. AEE IOE OOE EO EAA This hadith explains that every child is born in a state of fitrah or purity. The purity of this child is a right that must be understood by everyone, especially by Religious Judges that the child cannot be charged with the fault of his or her parents, even if the parents' marriage is declared rejected or fasid by the Religious Court. Doctrines of Jurisprudence The fiqh doctrines referred to here are Islamic law which in substance states that the child born of the parents, who require recognition of the petitioners' application to the Religious Court is a child who really comes from them . ot the child of adultery of the petitioner. , regardless of the problematic ikhtilaf furu'iyyah. Islamic law . must be able to adjust and accommodate dynamic changes in society through the process and products of ijtihad. 47 In the current context, ijtihad can be explained as a progressive effort to update the existing provisions in the Qur'an or Sunnah. This is done so that both can accommodate new situations and conditions, by providing solutions or legal rules that are in accordance with the times. 48 Elasticity of fiqh has actually occurred since long ago, even the differences in the laws formed by the scholars of the madhhab itself are historical evidence that there have been changes in the law among the Imams of the Mazhab. Based on the data above, it was found that judges who rejected the application for the origin of children from fasid marriages were because the judges were still textual, so that in the arguments of consideration they were still bound by the facts of the marriage of their parents that had occurred in the past which was problematic without paying attention to justice and the problems that the children would face later. Meanwhile, the judge who granted the application for the origin of children from the fasid marriage tried to find the law by taking the basis of his consideration out of the texts of existing laws that were no longer relevant to the fundamental interests of children. The judge's consideration of granting the application for the origin of the child is in line with the concept of progressive law. By granting the origin of children from this fasid marriage, it guarantees justice and benefits for children and the legal norms formed in the stipulation are truly responsive, provide benefits for the parties and society, and reject greater harm, so that the values of justice will truly be realized, not only for the parties, but also for children and In principle, the determination of giving birth to progressive law is like Satjipto Rahardjo's thinking that progressive law places the law not as a final scheme, but the law 46 Imam al- Bukhari.

Law is not seen as something that lives in a vacuum. Law is born from the provisions that live in society . bi societas ibi iu. On that basis, the law must continue to be dissected and explored through progressive efforts to reach the ultimate truth for the sake of justice. 49 The construction of progressive law in determining the origin of children in this fasid marriage is by making legal norms that are in accordance with the facts of legal development in society, by granting the application for the origin of children in a fasid marriage so that it will become jurisprudence on the basis of considering the future, moral and social interests of children without violating or injuring the provisions of Islamic law that are qath'i. By considering the regulations and doctrines of the Islamic law that are already qath'i. By considering the regulations and fiqh doctrines as explained above, it is certain that progressive, just and maslahat decisions of the panel of judges will be born in examining, deciding and adjudicating cases of Child Origins in the Religious Courts, especially in the South Kalimantan region. CONCLUSION Based on the results of the above research, it can be concluded that the decision of the Religious Courts in the South Kalimantan region on the application for child origins is divided into two, namely rejection and granting by the judge. The legal considerations of the panel of judges who accept in general are for the benefit of the child's future with the argument of the Child Protection Law, and the opinion of Wahbah az-Zuhaily . ontemporary fiqh scholar. that children from fasid marriages are legitimate children of their parents. However, the diction used by the panel towards the status of the child is different, namely child, legitimate child, biological child and biological child. The legal considerations in rejecting the application for the origin of the child generally based their legal basis on Law No. 1/1974 and the Compilation of Islamic Law, which basically states that a legitimate child is born from a legal marriage, at least materially valid, while a fasid marriage is considered an invalid marriage both materially and formally. The ideal legal construction in the decision to determine the origin of the child by the judge of the Religious Court in the jurisdiction of the Banjarmasin High Religious Court from the perspective of progressive law is to postulate a legal basis related to the future interests of the child consisting of the 1945 Constitution Article 28B Paragraph . and Article 28I paragraph . Marriage Law Article 44 Paragraph . Human Rights Law Articles 52 and 53. Child Protection Law Article 27 Paragraph . Al-Qur'an Surah AlAn'am Paragraph 164, and Hadith of the Prophet SAW (HR. Bukhori.
