Initially, the house, which was located at Jalan Keting Block F 1 Number 7, Teluk Gong,
North Jakarta, according to Amin Sudartio's confession, was the property of the deceased
Budiman Sudartio obtained in his marriage with the late To Siok Tjing as Amin Sudartio's
parents. Amin Sudartio is basically a child born in a relationship without marriage ties between
Budiman Sudartio and To Siok Tjing in 1961 based on Citation of Birth Certificate No. 387
and has been approved by the Chief Justice of Bengkalis District Court dated January 4, 1979
has been legally recognized and entered into the family of Budiman Sudartio and To Siok Tjing
as Amin Sudartio's parents.
In 1966 Budiman Sudartio and To Siok Tjing had established a marriage bond based on
the Quotation of Marriage Certificate No. 230/1966 dated April 14, 1966 issued by the Jakarta
Civil Registry. In the marriage between Budiman Sudartio and To Siok Tjing gave birth to a
child Lanierawati Sudartio, so that in the relationship between Budiman Sudartio and To Siok
Tjing both before and after marriage had given birth to 2 children, namely Amin Sudartio and
Lanierawati Sudartio. Then after the deceased To Siok Tjing passed away, the late Budiman
Sudartio remarried to Fong A Foe aka Mey's mother who then occupied the house of the late
Budiman Sudartio obtained in his marriage with the late To Siok Tjing. After his father, the
late Budiman Sudartio, passed away, Amin Sudartio considered that he and his sibling,
Lanierawati Sudartio as biological children born in the marriage between Budiman Sudartio
and the deceased To Siok Tjing were legal heirs and entitled to inherit the house located at
Jalan Keting Block F 1 Number 7, Teluk Gong, North Jakarta, but after Lanierawati Sudartio
had also passed away, Amin Sudartio also felt that he should be the only legal heir and entitled
to inherit the house left by his parents.
The dispute then arose because the house left by his parents which was located at Jalan
Keting Blok F 1 Number 7, Teluk Gong, North Jakarta is now controlled by Fong A Foe aka
Ibu Mey who is the second wife of the late Budiman Sudartio. Amin Sudartio as the biological
son of the late Budiman Sudartio felt aggrieved by the actions of Fong A Foe aka Mey's mother
who controlled the house left by his parents, and stated that Fong A Foe aka Mey's mother had
committed an act that had been against the law. Thus, based on the actions of Fong A Foe aka
Mey's mother who was felt to have controlled the house left by her parents unlawfully, Amin
Sudartio then filed a lawsuit addressed to Fong A Foe aka Mey's mother through his lawsuit
letter which had been registered at the North Jakarta District Court Registrar on April 11, 2017,
with Number 183 / Pdt.G / 2017 / PN. Jkt.Utr.
Furthermore, in decision Number 183/Pdt.G/2017/PN. Jkt.Utr, in its legal consideration,
the panel of judges at the court of first instance stated that based on the evidence submitted, it
has been proven that Amin Sudartio is an extramarital child who has been legally recognized,
so that when the marriage of the heir (Budiman Sudartio) with To Siok Tjing, the plaintiff has
been considered as a legal child, then after they, the plaintiff's father's mother dies as well as
the plaintiff's sister dies, then for the sake of law the plaintiff is the only heir, so that thus it
can be proven that the plaintiff is the legal heir of the heir Budiman Sudartio. In addition, it has
been proven that it is true that the object of dispute controlled by the defendant now is the
original property of Amin Sudartio's biological parents, which the late Budiman Sudartio
brought into a second marriage with Fong A Foe alias Mey's mother, then Amin Sudartio's
position by law is as the heir entitled to the object of the dispute, in casu as an active inheritance
right of a recognized extramarital child.
That based on the provisions of the Civil Code, the principle has been adopted that, only
those who have a legal relationship with the heir are entitled to inherit, where the legal
relationship between an extramarital child and his mother's father, arises after recognition from
the mother's father. In the provisions of article 865 of the Civil Code, it has been determined
that, in the case of an extramarital child as the only heir, then the child inherits all existing heir
property. However, because as has been proven from the fact of the law between the heir and
