Abstract


This study examines the legal status of children born from interfaith marriages following the enactment of Supreme Court Circular Letter (SEMA) No. 2 of 2023. It further analyzes the legal implications of this policy on the fulfillment of children's rights and legal certainty regarding children's identity as a foundation of legal protection in Indonesia. This research is positioned within the discourse of child protection and legal certainty in response to the state's restrictions on the recognition and registration of interfaith marriages. Employing a normative juridical method with statutory and conceptual approaches, this study analyzes relevant legislation, court decisions, and legal literature. The findings reveal that, after the implementation of SEMA No. 2 of 2023, children born from interfaith marriages are administratively categorized as children born outside a legally recognized marriage because their parents' marriage is not recognized by the state. This condition affects the child’s civil relationship with the father and has implications for identity rights, maintenance, inheritance, and access to public services. Nevertheless, legal certainty and legal protection remain attainable through birth registration and judicial determination of parentage, ensuring the fulfillment of children's civil rights and legal identity without discrimination.

Keywords: Legal Status, Legal Certainty, Child, Interfaith Marriage, SEMA No. 2 of 2023.
