Abstract

Mixed marriages between Indonesian citizens and foreign nationals raise legal issues regarding the status of joint property, particularly when such property relates to land ownership. Constitutional Court Decision No. 69/PUU-XIII/2015 amended the regulation of marriage agreements by allowing them to be created during the marriage. This article aims to analyze the status of joint property in mixed marriages following this decision and its relationship to restrictions on land ownership under Indonesian agrarian law. This research uses normative legal methods with statutory, conceptual, and case-based approaches. The analysis shows that property acquired during the marriage is, in principle, joint property, unless otherwise stipulated by a valid regulation. The Constitutional Court Decision does not automatically convert all joint property into separate property, but provides space for couples to regulate their wealth relationships through a marriage agreement. This arrangement must still comply with the restrictions on land ownership in Law No. 5 of 1960 concerning Basic Agrarian Principles. Thus, legal certainty in mixed marriages requires an integrated reading of marriage law, marriage agreements, and the principle of agrarian nationality.
