This study uses a normative juridical method with a case study approach and analytical descriptive specifications. This study relies on secondary data derived from primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials.

The results of the study are (1) the cancellation of marriage according to the Criminal Code results in legal consequences for the husband to pay compensation and interest for his wife or other parties who are disadvantaged while for children who are born are children outside of marriage. (2) Constraints in the cancellation of marriage due to the existence of identity forgery, namely the objection of one of the parties on the grounds that the existence of children born then the solution is to provide guidance for bride and groom candidates, increase the frequency of socialization and demand compensation. Constraints because the procedure for the request for cancellation to the court tends to be complicated and long, the solution is to make a request for marriage prevention to the official recording officer and the court as well as make peace efforts in the case of marriage cancellation. Constraints of differences in legal provisions to the status of children, the solution is legal renewal through the formulation in the draft of the Special Civil Procedure Code that regulates the cancellation of marriage due to the counterfeiting of the identity of the polygamy case. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami akibat hukum pembatalan perkawinan karena adanya pemalsuan identitas dalam kasus poligami menurut KUHPerdata dan kendala serta solusi terhadap pembatalan perkawinan tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus dan spesifikasi deskriptif analitis. Penelitian ini bertumpu pada data sekunder yang berasal dari bahan hukum primer, sekunder dan tersier. Metode pengumpulan data menggunakan studi pustaka dan studi dokumenter yang kemudian dianalisis dengan metode analisis kualitatif dan analisis normatif. Hasil penelitian yaitu pembatalan perkawinan menurut KUHPerdata berakibat hukum bagi suami harus membayar ganti kerugian dan bunga bagi istrinya atau pihak lain yang dirugikan sedangkan bagi anak yang dilahirkannya berstatus sebagai anak luar kawin. Kendala dalam pembatalan perkawianan karena adanya pemalsuan identitas yaitu adanya keberatan dari salah satu pihak dengan alasan adanya anak yang dilahirkan maka solusinya yaitu memberikan bimbingan bagi calon pengantin dan keluarga keduanya, meningkatkan frekuensi sosialisasi serta menuntut ganti kerugian. Kendala karena prosedur permohonan pembatalan ke pengadilan yang cenderung rumit dan lama maka solusinya yaitu membuat permohonan pencegahan perkawinan ke petugas pencatat pekawinan dan pengadilan serta melakukan upaya perdamaian dalam perkara gugatan pembatalan perkawinan. Kendala perbedaan ketentuan hukum terhadap status anak maka solusinya yaitu pembaharuan hukum melalui perumusan dalam Rancangan Undang-Undang Hukum Acara Perdata Khusus yang mengatur pembatalan perkawinan karena pemalsuan identitas kasus poligami.

Review

This study delves into the critical and often sensitive area of marriage cancellation due to identity forgery within polygamous unions, as governed by the Indonesian Civil Code (KUHPerdata). The paper clearly articulates its aim: to understand the legal effects of such cancellations, identify the associated constraints, and propose viable solutions. Employing a normative juridical methodology complemented by a case study approach and descriptive analytical specifications, the research effectively utilizes secondary legal materials from primary, secondary, and tertiary sources. This approach is well-suited for a legal study examining existing statutes, judicial interpretations, and their practical implications. The research yields significant findings, primarily delineating the legal consequences for parties involved. It establishes that a husband whose marriage is annulled under these circumstances faces obligations to pay compensation and interest, while tragically, any children born from such a union are legally deemed "children outside of marriage." Furthermore, the study meticulously identifies three key constraints impeding marriage cancellation: objections from parties concerned about the children's status, the inherently complicated and prolonged court procedures for annulment, and discrepancies in legal provisions concerning the status of children. For each constraint, the paper proposes practical solutions, from pre-marital guidance and increased socialization efforts to calls for legal reform through a specific draft of the Special Civil Procedure Code. Overall, this research offers a valuable contribution to the understanding of Indonesian family law, particularly in navigating the complexities arising from identity fraud in polygamous marriages. Its strength lies in not only identifying the legal ramifications and practical obstacles but also in proposing concrete, actionable solutions, including legislative reform. While the abstract mentions a "case study approach," a more explicit indication of how specific cases informed the general findings would further strengthen the perceived empirical depth. Nevertheless, the study's call for legal renewal to address inconsistencies, especially regarding the status of children, is particularly pertinent and provides a clear direction for policymakers and future scholarly endeavors in this vital area of law.
