ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to determine the regulation of
restrictions on workers/laborers to marry in one office as
regulated in the Decision of the Constitutional Court Number
13/PUU-XV/2017. The method used in this research is
normative research and the type of approach used is the law
approach, conceptual approach, and case approach. The
technique of analyzing legal materials in this study uses a
systematic interpretation method. The results of the study
show that the provisions of Article 153 paragraph 1 letter f
explain that employers are prohibited from terminating
employment because the worker/ laborer has blood ties
and/or marital ties with other workers/ laborers in the same
company unless it has been stipulated in a work agreement,
regulations company, or collective work agreement." The
limitation of the right to marry in one office is based on a work
agreement which is the desire of both parties. Meanwhile, the
workers are citizens whose constitutional rights are protected
to have a family without being limited by certain parties. This
is intended to provide a guarantee of the protection of the
constitutional rights of citizens to continue to marry with office
colleagues without being limited by work agreements that are
far from the spirit of fulfilling workers' rights as citizens. ah
exists by considering which aspects will arise between the
benefit and the various parties, namely the company/office,
employees, and also the general public.

INTRODUCTION
Background
Constitutional Court Decision Number 13/PUU-XV/2017 states the phrase
“unless it has been stipulated in a work agreement, company regulation, or
collective work agreement” in Article 153 Paragraph 1 letter f contradicts the 1945
Constitution and has no binding legal force. With the decision of the
Constitutional Court, a company cannot establish rules that prohibit employees
from marrying their officemates. In considering his decision, Judge MK Aswanto
stated that a company cannot make the marriage bond between workers or
workers in one company unable to be used as a basis for layoffs. The Court
considers that the regulation is not in line with the norms in Article 28D
paragraph2 1945 Constitution, Article 38 paragraph 1 and verse 2 Law 39/1999
and Article 6 paragraph 1International Covenant on Economic, Social, and
Cultural Rights. The rules made at least provide a sense of justice for the target
who implements the rules themselves, especially in the law it is known that there
is a principle of expediency, legal certainty. Until this provides a significant legal
purpose in the form of legal certainty and usefulness compared to ordinary law
revision methods.1
In consideration, the Constitutional Court stated that the limitation of marriage
among employees in the same company did not meet the requirements for
respecting the rights and freedoms of a person. On the other hand, the
Constitutional Court considered that no other person's rights or freedoms were
disturbed by blood ties or marital ties. Likewise, there are no moral norms,
religious values, security, and public order in a democratic society which is
disturbed by the fact that workers or laborers in one company have marital ties.
Following Article 28J paragraph2 In the 1945 Constitution, restrictions on human
rights can only be carried out with the sole purpose of guaranteeing the
recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and to fulfill just
demands following considerations of morality, religious values, security, and
public order in a society. democratic. In addition, the Court also believes that the
reasons used by the Indonesian Employers' Association (APINDO) and PT. PLN
to apply the rules limiting marriage between people is irrelevant. In their
statement, APINDO and PLN stated that Article 153 paragraph1letter f of the
Manpower Law aims to prevent negative things that occur in the company
environment and to build good, professional, and fair working conditions, as
well as prevent potential conflicts of interest in making decisions within the
company. Regarding this matter, the Court believes that such reasons do not

meet the requirements for constitutional restrictions as contained in Article 28J
paragraph2 1945 Constitution.
Concerns about negative things in the company environment and potential
conflicts of interest in making decisions within the company can be prevented by
formulating strict company regulations to enable the building of employee
integrity so that good, professional, and fair working conditions are realized.2
Prospective researchers consider that the Constitutional Court's decision to allow
office marriages needs to be reviewed legally, especially concerning human
rights values as stated in Article 28 of the 1945 Constitution and the strength of
agreements that have been made by companies and workers/laborers as
determined by Article 1320 of the Civil Code. The author argues that in reality a
person who will be appointed as a worker/laborer in a company, that person
must sign a work agreement which juridically refers to Article 1320 of the Civil
Code which stipulates four conditions for the validity of an agreement, namely:
a. Agree on those who bind themselves;
b. The ability to make an engagement;
c. A certain thing;
d. A permissible reason.
The agreement made must refer to Article 1320 of the Civil Code as described
above. In other words, if an agreement has been approved, a person who is
appointed as a worker/laborer must comply with the contents of the agreement,
including not marrying another worker/laborer in the same company. The hope
is first, that there will be no conflict of interest that interferes with the company's
secrets because the company's affairs do not become the subject of family
discussion and vice versa. Second, it is hoped that the agreement will prevent the
provision of double benefits which will cause social jealousy to other
workers/laborers.
