INTRODUCTION
The law of evidence in the rules of civil procedure plays an important role in the legal cycle
in order to clarify what is happening in order to obtain justice that the defendants can recognize.
In the civil procedure known as BW, there are several kinds of evidence as stated in Article 1866
of the Civil Code. The types of evidence include letters, witnesses, allegations, confessions, and
oaths.
The definition of oath is interpreted in Article 1929 BW, which contains the meaning of
shrewdness affirmation that is conveyed intensively by mentioning the name of God Almighty in
accordance with the belief that gives the pledge. Evidence involving oaths only exists in civil
courts. This is not entirely determined by the panel of judges in the event that the completion of
other evidence is considered important. In situations where there is no evidence, either party may
ask a panel of judges to administer an oath to its opposing party.
Public activities can not be distinguished from the course of cooperation between individuals
with each other, both between people and associations. This cannot be separated from a dispute
or debate. One of the disputes or debates that often occur locally or within the family is the issue

of fighting over inherited land. The land debate occurs when either party feels that their rights
have been revoked by individuals who should not have obtained those rights or the division of
inheritance is considered off track by the beneficiaries themselves.
Estate arrangement is the arrangement of property in a family, in which due to the death of
someone, there is an exchange of property that has been left behind. Inheritance regulations
regulate who is eligible to acquire property or an inheritance, the position of heirs, and the fair
distribution of inherited property.
Inheritance land disputes occur when one individual feels the rights of another or the division
of inheritance is considered unfair. The utilization of this type of current regulation is left to the
disputing party. In the settlement of inheritance land disputes locally or within the family, this is
done through deliberation among the beneficiaries. Despite this, in the event that there is a
division of the inheritance that cannot be resolved through such consideration, the heir can file a
lawsuit in court in accordance with his regulatory decision, both in Western civil regulations and
in customary law. However, if in the debate the assembly does not have sufficient evidence to
show proof, then the assembly may use the evidence by oath of the breaker to prove the rights of
the parties.
Based on this background, the study wants to examine the "Analysis Of Evidence Oath
Breaker (Decisoir) In Inheritance Land Disputes."

Discussion
1. Oath Breaker Procedure in an Inheritance Land Dispute
The oath as a whole is a very serious explanation uttered or considered when giving a
promise or testimony by recalling the highest idea of God and accepting that any individual
who gives a false statement or commitment will be punished by him. So basically, an oath is
an act of a religious nature used in the legal executive.
A decision, or breaker oath, is an oath that is imposed on one of the parties at the request
of the other. The party who asks that the opponent swear is called a deferent, while the party
who needs to swear is called a delaat. The final oath or decissoire eed is regulated in Article
156 HIR or 183 Rbg, which reads: in the absence of data or other evidence, to strengthen the
case, one party may ask the opposing party to swear an oath in court so that with the oath the
case can be resolved. The oath is pronounced in relation to the activities carried out by the
party required to swear.
According to Article 1930 of the KUHPer, the oath breaker can be ordered in any dispute,
except those in which the parties are not authorized to make a peace or in which their
recognition will not be considered.
In the rules of civil procedure, it is known as evidence by oath of the breaker in general
cases and in particular in matters of inheritance land. For example, since the estate of the
plaintiff filed a lawsuit against the defendant, the estate was not divided and he asked for his
share. The defendant said that the inheritance had been divided. In this circumstance, the
defendant is charged with proving that the inher (...truncated)
