Attention to children as the next generation has important relevance in the development of human civilization. The approach method used in this research is the normative legal approach method, namely research that positions law as a system of norms regarding the principles, standards, rules of statutory regulations, court decisions, agreements, and doctrines (teachings). Children are not only national assets, but also have the right to protection and be provided with basic rights as regulated in the 1945 Constitution and related regulations. With the ratification of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the enactment of Law No. 35 of 2014, the state is committed to protecting children from various forms of violence and discrimination. However, the reality shows that children in Indonesia still face many challenges, such as being exposed to violence committed by those closest to them. Therefore, there is a need for attention and real action to create a safe environment for children in all aspects of life.

Constitutional Court Decision No. 68/PUU-XII/2014 is an important milestone in the legal debate regarding the validity of interfaith marriages in Indonesia. Although the decision does not change the normative provisions in Article 2 paragraph (1) of Law No. 1/1974 on Marriage, the implications for the position of children from interfaith marriages are very real. Children born from such relationships often face administrative obstacles, uncertainty of legal status, and potential discrimination in obtaining their basic rights as citizens.

The research method used is normative juridical with the approach of legislation and analysis of court decisions. The results of the study show that derivative regulations and concrete steps are needed from the state to ensure recognition of the legal status of children, in line with the constitutional principles of child protection and respect for human rights.

The Constitutional Court Decision No. 46/PUU-VIII/2010 is a progressive step in upholding justice for out-of-wedlock children, especially in terms of the recognition of civil relations with biological fathers that were not previously legally recognized. The provisions in Article 43 paragraph (1) of Law No. 1 of 1974 limit the legal relationship of out-of-wedlock children only with their mother and family, thus causing injustice in access to inheritance rights. This article aims to juridically examine the changes in legal norms due to the decision and evaluate its implications for the inheritance system and legal protection of children. The method used is a normative juridical approach through the analysis of laws and regulations, legal doctrine, and jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court. The results of the study show that the Constitutional Court's decision has expanded the scope of civil relations between children out of wedlock and their biological fathers, opening up legitimate access to inheritance rights as long as it can be legally proven. This ruling removes previous normative discrimination and strengthens constitutional principles of equality before the law and the protection of children. Thus, this ruling is an important milestone in the reconstruction of the principle of justice in national family law

Crimes against decency in general raise concern, especially parents' anxiety for female children because apart from being able to threaten the safety of female children (for example rape, obscene acts) they can also affect the process of growth towards earlier sexual maturity. This research discusses 2 ( two) things, namely the urgency of anti-sexual crime education in tackling sexual crimes against children and legal protection for children who are victims of sexual crimes.

The four schools of thought agree that children from adultery do not receive a lineage from their father. The formulation of the research problems are, 1) What is the role of state institutions in guaranteeing and protecting the rights of children born from adultery? 2) How is the legal protection of children's rights in the womb resulting from adultery from a positive legal perspective? 3) How is the legal protection of children's rights in the womb resulting from adultery from the perspective of Islamic law? This research is normative legal research research on secondary data from primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials through literature review based on the Al-Quran and hadith, books, laws and regulations and other related matters. The result of this research is that the state's efforts to guarantee protection have been carried out through laws that are general in nature. However, there are no specific rules to guarantee legal protection for children in the womb of adultery. MK Decision No. 46/PUU-VII/2010 is a bright spot in legal protection for children resulting from adultery, namely having the same rights and treatment as children in general by means of proof and recognition of child status by their biological father. Meanwhile, the perspective of Islamic law also issued MUI Fatwa NO. 11 of 2012 concerning Children resulting from adultery and their treatment that children resulting from adultery do not have a family relationship with their father, and are only related to their mother and family.

The Constitutional Court's decision number 46/PUU-VIII/2010 changed the contents of Article 43 paragraph 1 of Law number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage wherein the ruling in the third paragraph stated that children born out of wedlock have civil relations with their mothers and their mothers' families as well as with men. the man as the father who can be proven based on science and technology and/or other evidence according to law has blood relations including civil relations with his father's family. The phenomenon that occurs in society, many illegitimate children are hidden by the heir as their biological father. So that the certificate of inheritance rights does not include children out of wedlock as heirs. This is the formulation of the problem of how the legal consequences for children out of wedlock are related to the part of the rights that are hidden in inheritance and how the legal protection for children out of wedlock whose identity is hidden by the heir is related to the part of the right to inherit. The theory used is the legal protection theory of Satjipto Rahardjo and the theory of children out of wedlock from R. Soeroso. The method used in this research is normative juridical research, namely library law research or secondary data with sources of primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. The research approach used is a statutory approach, a conceptual approach, an analytical approach and a case approach. The technique of collecting legal material is carried out by identifying and inventorying positive law rules, literature, books, journals and other sources of legal materials. For the technique of analyzing legal material, it is carried out using legal interpretation (interpretation), grammatical interpretation, systematic interpretation and legal construction methods. From the research results, it can be seen that the legal consequences for illegitimate children related to the part of the rights that are hidden by inheritance based on a court decision, the child has a civil relationship with the mother and father so that legal actions related to inheritance can be cancelled. This can be seen by canceling the Inheritance Declaration Deed. As for lawsuits, it can be carried out through unlawful acts, while legal protection for children out of wedlock is limited to children out of wedlock in the narrow sense, namely children born out of wedlock who are not registered. The decision of the Constitutional Court only provides protection for biological responsibility regarding rights and responsibilities as a biological father and is not related to the inheritance status of a father to his child as an heir, but this decision can be used as the basis for a lawsuit regarding the inheritance rights of children out of wedlock in a narrow sense
