Abstract

Indonesia recognizes three different inheritance system based respectively on the Civil Code, Islamic law and adat law. This article discusses the regulation concerning legitieme portie, the absolute right of the successor (heirs) which by law cannot be disregarded by the benefactor. The question here is whether legitieme portie, expressly regulated in the western inheritance law may also be found in the Islamic inheritance system? The second question concerns the possibility of – within the Islamic inheritance system – through the application of the legitieme portie - to deny the wife and/or parents’ right to the inheritance. This research argues that the Islamic inheritance system contains rules which cannot be disregarded by the benefactor and at the same time guarantee the wife’s right to the inheritance left by the benefactor.

Summary

Introduction

W Abstrak Indonesia mengakui keberlakuan tiga sistem kewarisan: hukum waris adat, hukum waris Islam dan hukum waris berdasarkan hukum perdata barat. Ahli waris dalam ruang lingkup legitieme portie yang berhak menerima hak waris adalah ahli waris dalam garis lurus, baik itu ke atas maupun ke bawah, tegasnya hak akan timbul apabila terdapat seseorang dalam suatu keadaan sungguh-sungguh tampil ke muka sebagai ahli waris menurut undang-undang.[14] Legitieme portie di satu sisi memiliki persamaan dengan waris dalam sistem Islam yaitu: “memberikan hak pada anak laki-laki maupun perempuan, di sisi lain menghalangi isteri maupun suami untuk mendapatkan haknya, walaupun dapat diberikan melalui wasiat.
