Reform Of Adultery Offense Regulation In Law Number 1 Of 2023 On The Criminal Code And Its Implications For Family Protection And Privacy Rights

Abstract

This study analyzes the reform of adultery offense regulation under Article 411 of Law Number 1 of 2023 on the Criminal Code. It uses normative juridical research with a statutory approach. The findings show that Article 411 expands the subject of adultery through the phrase “every person”, but limits prosecution through a complaint offense by a spouse, parent, or child. This provision strengthens family protection, yet requires technical guidelines to prevent privacy violations and misuse in law enforcement.
