Civil Law Definition

Law is a device or code of conduct. Civil law governs all matters relating to people and legal bodies, including rights, property, and anything else. The rules that govern a person's duties and rights in society are known as civil law.

The word "civil law" is derived from the Dutch word "Burgerlijk Recht." Private law and civil law are other terms for civil law. The phrase civil law is more frequently used today, nevertheless.

Prof. Subekti defines civil law as all substantive private law in the form of fundamental laws that govern individual interests.

Prof. Sudikno claims that civil law is an entire body of law that examines how people relate to one another, whether inside families or in the larger community.

According to Sri Sudewi Masjchoen Sofwan, civil law is the body of law that governs how different persons' interests relate to one another.

Indonesian civil law consists of:

1. traditional civil law. laws controlling individual relationships and individual interests among indigenous peoples. These unwritten customary rules are typically followed by indigenous peoples from generation to generation.

2. Civil law in Europe. laws or provisions that control legal interactions involving Europeans' interests.

3. domestic civil law. Legal professions as a result of domestic goods. Marriage law and agrarian law, both found in Law Number 1 of 1974 and Law Number 5 of 1960, are examples of national civil law.
