LEGAL PROTECTION OF LAND OWNERSHIP RIGHTS IN MIXED MARRIAGES IN INDONESIA

Abstract

Legal protection for various human interests is usually carried out by the state as a power organization used to achieve the goals of the nation. In the context of implementing agrarian reform to determine and enforce a land ownership system, whether collective or individual, the state is granted the highest authority to regulate the use, utilization, control, and ownership of agrarian resources in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to examine the legal protection of land ownership rights in mixed marriages in Indonesia. The research method used is normative or doctrinal legal research. The results of the study show that the status of land and building acquisition by foreign nationals or foreign legal entities in Indonesia is limited to: the right to use land for a specified period, the right to lease buildings, ownership of units in apartment buildings (strata title), and residential houses with certain conditions. Foreign legal entities are not permitted to control land under freehold title, right to cultivate, or right to build. If foreign legal entity acquires any of these rights, they are required to relinquish them no later than one year, or the rights will be nullified by law and revert to state control.
