title: Managing familial issues  Unique features of legal reform in Indonesia
creator: Nurlaelawati, Euis
subject: Keluarga Islam
description: Indonesian state law on Muslim familial issues, as embodied in Marriage  Law No. 1/1974 and Presidential Instruction No. 1/1991 regarding  the Compilation of Islamic Law (Kompilasi Hukum Islam), introduced  a number of reforms reflecting the inclusion of local customs,  state interests and new issues in Islamic discourse in Indonesia, including  gender issues. By doing so, it attempted to achieve an amalgamation  of the classical legal doctrines of Islam, state interests and local  tradition or adat. The accommodation of local tradition and state interests  makes the law distinctly different from similar laws issued elsewhere  in the Muslim world. The rules on representation of heirs, obligatory  bequest (wasiat wajiba) and joint property are examples of the  special characteristics of Indonesian law in this field. The distinctive  features become even stronger when we look at how judges deal with  family law.
