Abstract

This study aims to determine and analyze the principle of justice in the division of inheritance between men and women according to the Civil Code and Islamic Law. The research method in this writing uses a normative legal research method with a comparative law approach. Legal materials are also obtained through literature studies of laws and regulations, fiqh books and various literature relevant to the research. The results of this study indicate that civil inheritance law basically refers to the principle of justice that is ephaliter or equal. The justice applied is commutative justice where men and women have the same rights in receiving inheritance, while in Islamic law the distribution of inheritance is based on the principle of justice that regulates the rights of each party according to their roles and responsibilities in the family. The justice applied by Islamic law is distributive justice, men generally get twice as much as women. It is better if the distribution of inheritance is not only based on written law but must also consider justice for all parties, although civil inheritance law does not distinguish between genders in the distribution of inheritance, it is important to uphold the value of justice in its implementation so that there is no inequality in the distribution of inheritance.
