EKSISTENSI HUKUM ADAT DALAM SISTEM HUKUM DI INDONESIA

Abstrak: A  traditional  law  (hukum  adat)  is  a  law  reflecting  an Indonesian character; as a result it has been claimed as the law  which  is  genuinely Indonesian.  As  an  unwritten  law, nowadays the existence of traditional law is questionable. It  has  been  judged  as  conservative,  stiff,  primitive  old fashioned  comparing  to  the  development  of  modern society.  Some  people  argue  that  traditional  law  is  unable to  resolve  the  problems  in  this  globalization  era.  In  facts, traditional law has become a basic principle to legalize the contemporary  laws.  For  instances,  traditional  laws inspires the law of UU. No 5 Th. 1960 about the major law of agrarian affairs and the la of UU. No. 1 Th. 1974 about marriage. The relevance of traditional law to current one is supported  by  the  existence  of  UU.  No.  4  Th.  2004  about the authority of judicial affairs, it opens the chance for the judges  to  execute  and  decide  a  case  based  on  traditional laws.
