Kedudukan Ahli Waris Pengganti dalam Perspektif Hukum Islam dan Hukum Perdata: Analisis Perbandingan Pasal 185 Kompilasi Hukum Islam dan Plaatsvervulling dalam KUH Perdata

Abstract

This study compares substitute heirs under Article 185 of the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) and plaatsvervulling under the Indonesian Civil Code. It uses normative legal research with statutory and comparative approaches. Legal materials are collected through a literature study and analysed qualitatively. Both systems recognise substitution when an heir dies before the decedent. KHI permits the deceased heir’s children to replace their parent, subject to disqualifications and a share limitation. The Civil Code places substitutes in the degree and rights of the person replaced. These differences affect eligibility and inheritance shares. Consistent application of the relevant inheritance regime is necessary for legal certainty and proportionate protection
