Juridical Analysis of the Gono-Gini Assets that the Father Donated to the Child: Case Study of the Medan Religious Court Decision No.691/Pdt.G/2007/PA.Medan

Introduction

The Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) in Indonesia stipulates that parents can give a maximum of one third of the total shared assets to their children as a grant, known as Gono-Gini. This grant is considered a legacy and belongs to the child, but parents still have the right to withdraw the grant. However, this often triggers a lawsuit with withdrawal or cancellation of grants in the Religious Court. The grant itself can be carried out orally or written in front of two witnesses, but for its implementation, it must be through a court determination.

This study aims to analyze the legal consequences of the Gono-Gini Grant by parents to children, the process of withdrawing grants, and the legal power of grants that are not accelerated before the notary. The research method used is a descriptive analysis with a normative juridical approach, which focuses on laws and regulations related to the withdrawal of joint assets that are granted to children in the decision of the Medan Religious Court. Data obtained through literature studies and interviews with respondents from the Medan Religious Court and Notary in Medan City.

Legal Consequence of Grant Grant Gono-Gini

Based on KHI, the Gono-Gini Grant to the child belongs to the child as long as it does not exceed one third of the total shared assets and is calculated as a legacy. However, this grant can still be withdrawn. The grant is considered a legacy and belongs to the child, but parents still have the right to withdraw the grant. This often triggers a lawsuit with withdrawal or cancellation of grants in the Religious Court.

The Importance of Understanding Gono-Gini Grant

Understanding the Gono-Gini Grant is crucial for parents who want to give their children a share of their assets. The grant is considered a legacy and belongs to the child, but parents still have the right to withdraw the grant. This often triggers a lawsuit with withdrawal or cancellation of grants in the Religious Court. Therefore, it is essential to understand the legal consequences of the Gono-Gini Grant and the process of withdrawing grants.

Withdrawal or Cancellation of Grants

Based on the case of the Medan Religious Court's decision, the withdrawal or cancellation of a grant can be done if:

Proven grant is carried out without the approval of a husband/wife.
Grant exceeds one third of the total joint assets (Article 210 KHI).

Withdrawals can only be made if the grant property is still under the control of the grant recipient. If the grant property has turned to a third party, a derden verzet (resistance) will arise. If there is a confiscation request, there will be a niet bervinding or not found the object of the case in the field.

The Process of Withdrawing Grants

The process of withdrawing grants is a complex and sensitive issue. Based on the case of the Medan Religious Court's decision, the withdrawal or cancellation of a grant can be done if the grant is proven to be carried out without the approval of a husband/wife or if the grant exceeds one third of the total joint assets. Withdrawals can only be made if the grant property is still under the control of the grant recipient.

Legal Power of Grant without a Notary Deed

KHI stated that the grant made before two witnesses without a legislative notary deed is legally valid. However, based on the case of the Medan Religious Court's decision, the deed of grant without a notary deed must first receive a court determination to be used as evidence at the trial.

The Importance of Notary Deed

The notary deed is an essential document in the process of granting assets to children. KHI stated that the grant made before two witnesses without a legislative notary deed is legally valid. However, based on the case of the Medan Religious Court's decision, the deed of grant without a notary deed must first receive a court determination to be used as evidence at the trial.

Recommendation

Parents who give gono-gini property to children need to pay attention to the rights of other children who are also the heirs.
In order to avoid the lawsuit in the future, the grant should be made before a notary because the notary deed has the perfect proof power in front of the court.
The government needs to review the provisions of the KHI which gives an oral or written grant option in front of two witnesses under the hand. In practice, the deed under the hand requires a court determination (legalization) to be used as a strong evidence.
Considering the purpose of KHI is to accommodate Islamic law in the form of compilation in Indonesia, it should be made in the form of laws, not the Presidential Instruction which is hierarchically under the law.

Conclusion

Grant Grant Gono-gini by parents to children in Indonesia is regulated in the compilation of Islamic law. Although this grant belongs to children, parents still have the right to withdraw the grant. To avoid conflicts and legal problems in the future, it is recommended to make a grant deed in front of a notary and pay attention to the rights of other children who are also heirs. The government also needs to consider revising KHI to be more optimal in accommodating Islamic law in Indonesia.
