CHILD ADOPTION BY UNMARRIED PERSON IN THE INDONESIAN CIVIL LAW SYSTEM

Adoption is carried out by a legally married couple and could also be done by someone who does not want to build a household but still wants to have children as successors and who would take care of them in the future as a single parent. Article 10 paragraph (3) of the Regulation of the Minister of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia Number 110/HUK/2009 concerning Child Adoption Requirements states that child adoption through a childcare institution could be carried out firstly by a prospective foster parent. Prospective Foster Parents have been legally married for a minimum of five years, as stated in Article 20 letter e of the Regulation of the Minister of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia Number 110/HUK/2009. In this research journal, we would discuss the issue of Child Adoption by Non-Marriage Person. This study focuses on normative legal research that examines the content of legislation. This legal research was conducted with two approaches consisting of a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. Researchers would find ideas that provide legal understanding, legal concepts, and legal principles. This research concludes that adoption could be carried out by married couples and non-married person/single parent. It is referred to Government Regulation Number 54 of 2007 concerning Adoption of Children. This regulation is reinforced by the issuance of Circular Letter of the Supreme Court (SEMA) Number 6 of 1983 explaining that it is possible for Indonesian citizens who are unmarried, have been married, or a single parent, to adopt a child.

Muhammadiyah has been known as an organization engaged in education and social affairs. In its work, since it was founded by KH Ahmad Dahlan in 1912, Muhammadiyah has been active in both fields while spreading its wings throughout the archipelago. One of these 'wings' was developed in Pasar Kemis, a sub-district located in Tangerang Regency, Banten Province. In this sub-district, Muhammadiyah is actively expanding its work in the field of education and social activities. This paper aims to examine the role of Muhammadiyah in the Pasar Kemis District and the dynamics of its history and movement in this sub-district. Moreover, it seeks to describe the influence of the emergence of the Muhammadiyah organization in Pasar Kemis Sub-district, Tangerang Regency, Banten Province. Archives, documents, notes, photos, and various decrees from internal organizations, individuals to the Tangerang Regency Government were dissected and reviewed. The result obtained is Muhammadiyah organization has advantages that seem very difficult to imitate by other organizations, including NU. More precisely, it is about tangible evidence to the public. This is manifested in various Muhammadiyah charities such as schools, hospitals, zakat institutions (LAZIS-MU), universities to universities, and others. The business charity was established and run not for business for its members but for the community. The typical Muhammadiyah business charity is different from corporations or private foundations, which are usually owned by individuals or a handful of groups (oligarchy).

The utilization of village-information system for integrated social welfare data management: actor-network theory approach in Gunungkidul regency

As the main reference to poverty alleviation in Indonesia, the policy of integrated welfare data management by the Ministry of Social Affairs still contains many inaccuracies. This has an impact on beneficiary groups as the target of the implementation of national programs on poverty reduction. This study shows how Integrated Social Welfare Data management by the local government in Gunungkidul Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta, can solve the inaccuracy. The analysis was conducted with qualitative methods, based on actor-network theory. Data collection, verification, and validation are processed by integrating Village Information System (SID BERDAYA) and Regency Information System (SIKAB) in Gunungkidul at the local level, with the Social Welfare Information System - Next Generation (SIKS-NG) by the Ministry of Social Affairs in national level. This integration is needed to improve the quality of data accuracy and validity. Strengthening the participation and transparency of social interaction between government agencies at every level (from the village level to the national level) and the community people are important since communities are the beneficiaries. These processes will develop a reflective scheme, to make sure the quality of planning and development program on poverty alleviation is running with accurate and valid data.
