Tinjauan Yuridis terhadap Kohabitasi dalam Perlindungan Hak-Hak Perempuan
Keywords:
Cohabitation; Article 412 Criminal Code; Women's Rights; Human Rights; Criminal Law Policy.Abstract
The enactment of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Indonesian Criminal Code introduces the criminalization of cohabitation under Article 412 as part of offenses against morality. This provision has generated significant debate because, while it aims to protect moral values and the institution of marriage, it may also affect the protection of women's rights, particularly for women in vulnerable social, economic, and unequal power relationships. This study aims to analyze the implications of Article 412 of the Criminal Code for the protection of women's rights and to formulate legal policy that ensures legal protection without creating discrimination. This research employs normative juridical methods using statutory and conceptual approaches. The legal materials consist of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources analyzed qualitatively. The findings reveal that the regulation of cohabitation has dual implications. On the one hand, it strengthens legal certainty in protecting public morality and the institution of marriage. On the other hand, it may lead to the criminalization of women who occupy vulnerable positions. Therefore, the implementation of Article 412 should be carried out proportionally by emphasizing the principles of justice, non-discrimination, human rights protection, and the application of criminal law as an ultimum remedium, ensuring that women's legal protection remains the primary consideration.
