Pelakor Overviewed from Indonesian Law Perspective

Abstract

Pelakor is currently a worrying phenomenon in Indonesia. Pelakor is one of the causes of the high divorce rate. In addition, violence involving pelakor is currently a public spectacle that is shared through various media. Even minors are not infrequently involved in conflicts with pelakor. This paper analyzes the laws and regulations in Indonesia that can be used to ensnare pelakor. The results show that there is no law nor regulation in Indonesia that specifically regulate pelakor. The existing laws and regulations are not sufficient to provide maximum sanctions to pelakor.
