PENANAMAN EMBRIO PADA RAHIM ISTRI YANG LAIN

Abstract

This paper discusses the practice of IVF (in vitro fertilization) by another wife's womb. This practice was declared haram by the fatwa of the Indonesian Ulama Council on June 1979. The reason is it will cause complexity in matters of inheritance. Especially, between child and owner of the ovum and surrogate mother. This research is a qualitative research with normative juridical approach. This research is a library research. This research use documentation techniques. This study concluded that the complexity in the inheritance problem that is feared in the MUI's fatwa can be overcomed by determining their nasab relationship. Because the nasab relationship is one of the reasons for inheritance. So the authors conclude that the practice of IVF from husband and wife by another wife's womb is legally, and the children born through the process end up with surrogate mother who have conceived and given birth.
