Limitations of the Principle of Freedom of Contract in Marriage Agreements Based on the Civil Code

Aswar Aswar

Abstract


This study aims to determine and analyze the limitations of freedom in making a marriage contract based on the Civil Code, as well as to analyze the authority and responsibility of a notary in making a marriage contract. This study uses a statute approach and a conceptual approach. Based on the study, it is concluded that the existence of a marriage contract is based on the principle of freedom of contract as regulated in Article 1338 of the Civil Code, but this freedom is not absolute because it is limited by law, morality, public order, and the interests of third parties. Limitations in a marriage contract are normatively reflected in several aspects, namely limitations based on public order and morality, limitations on the rights and obligations of husband and wife, limitations on the protection of third parties, especially creditors, limitations on the substance or content of the agreement, limitations on the time of making and changing the marriage contract. Notaries have legal and strategic authority in making a marriage contract based on the Notary Law. This authority includes ensuring the identity of the parties, ensuring the legal capacity of the parties, providing legal explanations, preparing authentic deeds, recording and storing minutes of the deed. In exercising this authority, notaries bear extensive legal responsibilities, including civil, administrative, criminal, and ethical liability. Therefore, professionalism, independence, and prudence are key elements in carrying out the notary's office.
