Abstract

This study aims to analyze how Balinese customary law is accommodated in court decisions, particularly in Supreme Court Decision Number 1331/K/Pdt/2010, and its implications for the practice of gifts (hibah) and inheritance rights in society. The main research problem is how judges integrate customary law with national law within the context of legal pluralism. The research method employed is normative-juridical, using a systematic and historical analytical framework, complemented by a socio-legal approach to examine the social relevance of the decision. Research data are derived from court decisions as primary legal materials, relevant statutes and regulations as secondary legal materials, and academic literature and legal documents as tertiary supporting materials. The findings indicate that the judge’s considerations in the decision affirm recognition of Balinese customary law within the limits of national law, while emphasizing the importance of social context in gift and inheritance practices. In conclusion, integrating customary law into court decisions strengthens the implementation of legal pluralism in Indonesia, but requires further attention to harmonization with positive law to ensure inclusive justice.
