Abstract

The phenomenon of unregistered marriages in practice often raises legal issues, including matters related to inheritance rights for wives after the husband passes away. Qualitative research in the form of normative Islamic law studies aims to describe the position of a unofficial wife as an heir from the perspective of Islamic inheritance law and positive law. This study uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) analysis model. The research data uses scientific literature discussing Islamic inheritance in cases of unregistered marriages. Research results show that although a non-official wife is not recognized as a legitimate heir according to positive law, she can receive the husband's inheritance through a wasiat wajibah based on a court decree referring to the legal justice consideration by the judge, with the provision of a maximum of one-third of the total inheritance.The contribution of this research emphasizes that the position of a mandatory will can serve as a negotiation medium for the wife regarding the potential right to receive the husband's inheritance in cases of unregistered marriage.
