Document background
Post Marital Agreements in Indonesia gained legal recognition through a landmark Constitutional Court decision in 2015, addressing a significant gap in the country's marital law framework. These agreements are utilized when married couples need to establish clear property rights and financial arrangements after their wedding, often prompted by business interests, inheritance, or changed financial circumstances. The Post Marital Agreement must be executed before a notary and registered with appropriate authorities, combining elements of Indonesian civil law, religious law (particularly for Muslim couples), and customary law considerations. The document typically covers property division, business interests, debt responsibilities, and future financial arrangements, providing legal certainty for both spouses and protecting their respective interests. It's particularly relevant for business owners, professionals with significant assets, and couples with international connections.
