Keywords: oath breaker; dispute; land inheritance 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 1 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF LAW AND LEGAL ETHICS (IJLLE) Volume 3, Issue 1, April 2022 ISSN 746-9719 (online) 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 The land debate occurs when either party feels that their rights have been revoked by individuals who should not have obtained those rights or the division of inheritance is considered off track by the beneficiaries themselves.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.

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.
