Abstract

The analysis of the community situation describes the phenomenon that among the societies there are still many people who do not understand the legal consequences of unregistered marriages, such as regarding inheritance and the legal status of children born as a result of unregistered marriages. The clarity of the husband and wife's marital status through genuine evidence of their union is the basis for determining the child's legal status. A marriage certificate serves as the foundation for managing the child's birth certificate. When a child is born and needs a birth certificate, the population office will not issue one if the husband and wife have never registered their marriage. In order to maximize legal protection for the parties to a marriage, legal awareness is needed. The implementation method is a solution offered to overcome the problems faced by the community. In accordance with the priority issues faced by the community as mentioned above, the approach method offered to solve this problem is a descriptive normative empirical method. The results obtained can be seen on the position of the child in Article 55 of the Marriage Law which offers a solution if there is a child whose origin is unclear because he does not have a birth certificate, then the child's parents can apply for a determination of the origin of the child to the Religious Court.
