Legal Certainty for the Execution of Arbitration Decisions on Marriage Agreement Disputes for Foreign Citizens In Indonesia

Abstract

With this type of normative juridical research and using a statutory approach and a case approach by studying and analyzing all legal aspects, this research examines the legal certainty of the execution of Alaska state arbitration decisions regarding marriage agreements between foreign citizens who have assets in Indonesia. Arbitration is an alternative dispute resolution that is in great demand by many parties. However, in Indonesia itself the execution of international arbitration awards only revolves around trade disputes. On this basis, the international arbitration award regarding the marriage agreement dispute cannot be executed in Indonesia. Indonesia needs to make improvements to expand its authority so that international disputes do not only revolve around trade disputes, but also family disputes with the possibility of mixed marriages which then give rise to disputes such as property or custody as a result of mixed marriage divorce.
