Kedudukan anak luar nikah dalam masyarakat adat Desa Jatilangkung Mojokerto perspektif hukum Islam

Illegitimate children are not children born from legal marriages based on Islamic law and not registered according to the Marriage Law of Indonesia, but children born from a relationship between a man and a woman without any matrimony ties. According to the majority opinion of ulama fiqh, the child is bequeathed to his father if the child is born after six months of the marriage. The child is bequeathed to his mother only if the child is born before six months. In Jatilangkung, a forced marriage will occur when a woman becomes pregnant out of wedlock, namely marrying a pregnant woman to a man who has impregnated her. According to local tradition, the child's standing is considered the same as a legitimate child resulting from a legal sexual relation; the parents will be responsible for the child, and the child will receive a share of their parent's inheritance. Administratively, the child linage is on the mother's husband, but they should employ a magistered guardian in the marriage.
