Beyond Physical Injury: Child Pregnancy as Reproductive Damage in Sexual Crimes Against Children
Pregnancy in children who are victims of sexual assault is a serious disruption to reproductive function because the child's body is not yet biologically and physiologically mature enough to undergo the process of pregnancy. The immaturity of the reproductive organs, including the endocrine system, pelvis, and uterus, puts the child at high risk of medical complications such as pre-eclampsia, hemorrhage, obstructed labor, obstetric fistula, and even the potential for long-term infertility. From a victimological viewpoint, pregnancy is not merely a direct result of sexual violence; it also prolongs victimization due to the loss of bodily autonomy, various psychological traumas, and the risk of secondary victimization stemming from social stigma. This research investigates child pregnancy as a sign of reproductive dysfunction or disorder as defined in Article 81, Paragraph (5) of the Child Protection Law. The study employs a normative-legal approach, analyzing legal texts, court decisions, and academic literature. The findings indicate that child pregnancy is a form of reproductive disorder, which is legally classified as a disturbance or reduction in reproductive capacity, thus providing grounds for harsher penalties. A rethinking of legal understanding is essential to recognize child pregnancy not just as a biological consequence, but as a reproductive loss that jeopardizes the safety, dignity, and future of the child, in line with the child’s best interests.
Hak Konstitusional Penyandang Disabilitas Dalam Pemilihan Umum: Analisis Pengawasan Administratif Pada Pemilu 2019 Di Kota Gorontalo
This study analyzes the protection of the constitutional rights of persons with disabilities in the 2019 General Election in Gorontalo City through the perspective of administrative supervision. The research focuses on the role of the General Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) in ensuring that electoral administration processes comply with legal provisions. Using an empirical juridical approach, this study examines supervisory practices across voter data updating, election socialization, polling station accessibility, and voting processes. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation, and analyzed qualitatively. The findings indicate that administrative supervision was conducted in accordance with the regulatory framework of Bawaslu Regulation Number 21 of 2018 and was implemented across all electoral stages. However, several obstacles were identified, including the lack of continuous updating of disability voter data and limited accessibility factors affecting voter turnout. Although supervisory mechanisms functioned effectively in ensuring procedural compliance, they have not fully guaranteed the optimal fulfillment of constitutional rights of persons with disabilities in practice.
Efektivitas Kewenangan Jaksa Pengacara Negara di Kejaksaan Negeri Lampung Timur dalam Penyelesaian Sengketa Perdata Nonlitigasi
The authority of the State Attorney (Jaksa Pengacara Negara/JPN) in resolving civil disputes through non-litigation mechanisms is part of the Attorney General’s Office function in the field of Civil and State Administrative Law from the perspective of Administrative Law. This authority is based on Article 30, paragraph (2) of Law Number 11 of 2021, which provides the legal basis for the Prosecutor’s Office to represent the state or government, both inside and outside the court, through a layered basis of institutional attribution, delegation via a Special Power of Attorney, and individual assignment. In practice at the Lampung Timur District Prosecutor’s Office, the implementation of non-litigation authority through an eight-stage procedure, from application to negotiation, mediation, and settlement, has not been optimal due to low compliance by disputing parties and the absence of enforceable authority over settlement agreements. This study aims to analyze the basis and implementation of the JPN authority, measure its effectiveness in handling BPJS Kesehatan default cases, and identify the juridical and non-juridical factors that affect it. The novelty of this research lies in its empirical analysis of JPN’s non-litigation authority by integrating juridical and non-juridical factors that influence the low success rate of dispute resolution, particularly in BPJS Kesehatan default cases at the Lampung Timur District Prosecutor’s Office. This research employs the theory of authority and the theory of legal effectiveness using an empirical juridical method with statutory and field approaches. Primary data were obtained through interviews with State Attorneys, while secondary data were collected from legislation, literature, academic journals, and official prosecutorial documents. The findings show that of 119 non-litigation cases handled in 2025, only 26.9 percent were successfully resolved, as settlement agreements still lack binding executorial force and are further hindered by non-juridical factors such as low attendance, limited coordination, and the financial capacity of the disputing parties; the study accordingly proposes strengthening the legal status of settlement agreements and institutional capacity to improve future effectiveness.
Isu Pembubaran Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Perspektif Hukum Tata Negara dan Hukum Islam tentang Keseimbangan Kekuasaan
his research is motivated by the growing public trust crisis toward the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR) in 2025, which culminated in discourse surrounding the dissolution of the legislative body; an issue that has never been comprehensively examined in Indonesian constitutional law literature and therefore demands urgent scholarly attention. This study aims to analyze the factors underlying the DPR's legitimacy crisis through two theoretical frameworks: David Beetham's legitimacy theory, encompassing the dimensions of legality, normative justification, and public consent, as well as the principles of fiqh siyasah, namely syura (deliberation), amanah (accountability), and hisbah (socio-political oversight), employing a juridical-normative and prescriptive analytical method through library research and documentation. The primary legal materials used include the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, the Law on the People's Consultative Assembly, House of Representatives, and Regional House of Representatives (MD3 Law), and the Qur'an as the primary reference for fiqh siyasah analysis, supported by secondary legal materials comprising legal textbooks, scholarly journals, academic articles, and classical texts related to the principles of syura, amanah, and hisbah, as well as tertiary legal materials in the form of legal dictionaries and language dictionaries. The findings indicate that the crisis stems from the DPR's failure to effectively carry out its legislative, oversight, and budgetary functions, compounded by public dissatisfaction with an institution perceived as insensitive to the hardships faced by the people, and that Article 7C of the 1945 Constitution constitutionally prohibits the dissolution of the DPR, meaning that the restoration of legitimacy can only be pursued through institutional reform and constitutional amendment driven by the will of the people. This research contributes by offering a constitutional legitimacy model that integrates Beetham's theory with the principles of fiqh siyasah as a normative framework to strengthen the checks and balances mechanism and restore public trust in Indonesia's legislative institution.
