HAK MEWARIS ANAK ANGKAT DI INDONESIA DITINJAU DARI HUKUM PERDATA DAN HUKUM ISLAM

Abstract

Writing this scientific paper aims to determine the position of adopted children as heirs in civil law and Islamic law, as well as know the distribution of inheritance that can be obtained by adopted children. This study uses a juridical-normative method. The results of the research in the form of the existence of the rights and position of adopted children in civil law are not contained in BW but are regulated in Stbld 1917 Number 129, which states that there are equal rights for adopted children and legitimate children in inheritance. Islamic law does not regulate inheritance to adopted children due to differences in the lineage of adopted children and their adoptive parents, but there are other ways related to the method of inheritance in Islamic law, namely wajibah testament.
