Analisis Perbandingan Hukum Waris Adat dan Hukum Waris Perdata
Abstract
This study aims to conduct a comparative analysis between customary inheritance law and civil inheritance law in Indonesia within the context of legal pluralism. In Indonesia’s diverse society, these two systems coexist and often give rise to conflicts, both at the family level and within legal institutions. Customary inheritance law tends to adapt to local values, is flexible and collective in nature, whereas civil inheritance law is formal, individualistic, and provides legal certainty in written form. This research adopts a qualitative methodology through library research. Using a comparative legal approach, the study seeks to identify the strengths and weaknesses of each system and assess the extent to which customary and civil inheritance laws can complement one another within the framework of the national legal system. The study recommends the recodification of national inheritance law that incorporates the progressive principles of customary law alongside the formal principles of civil law, aiming to establish a fair and inclusive inheritance system in Indonesia
