Legal Analysis of The Imposition of Criminal Sanctions Against Perpetrators of Abuse in Domestic Violence Relationships in Smg Pn (Decision Number 513/Pid.B/2024/Pn Smg)

Abstract


This study aims to analyze the judges' legal considerations in imposing criminal sanctions on the perpetrator of assault within a domestic violence context in Decision Number 513/Pid.B/2024/PN Smg, as well as to assess whether the judgment reflects the principles of justice, legal certainty, and victim protection. The study also aims to identify the conformity of legal application between the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP) and the Law on the Elimination of Domestic Violence (UU PKDRT) as lex specialis. This research employs a normative juridical method using statutory, case, and literature approaches. The analysis is carried out descriptively and analytically by examining positive legal provisions, scholarly doctrines, and relevant court decisions to evaluate the relevance and accuracy of the judges' considerations. The results of the study show that the panel of judges appropriately applied Article 351 paragraph (2) of the Criminal Code by ensuring that the elements of serious assault and valid evidence were fulfilled. The imposed sentence of 4 years and 6 months' imprisonment is considered to meet the aspects of legal certainty and deterrence. However, the judges did not apply the Domestic Violence Law (UU PKDRT) as the primary legal basis, resulting in suboptimal protection for the victim. The decision reflects formal justice but does not fully achieve substantive justice and comprehensive victim protection.
