Abstract
Many family cases in Indonesia such as divorce, inheritance disputes, probate, grant, joint treasury
settlement, adoption of children, mixed marriage, domestic violence, and others need right and fast
solution. These cases are currently resolved through Religious Courts for Muslims and General
Courts for non-Muslims. This dualism of justice often generates the dualism of contradictory
decisions, unclear competence. It is also questionable that the Religious Courts only hear Muslim
plaintiffs, whereas the recognized Religion in Indonesia is not only Islam but other religions, and
beliefs that are guaranteed protection by the state. It is necessary to establish a special family
judiciary to try family affairs that give more guarantee the legal certainty and lighten duties of the
general court.
