The case of Baiq Nuril Maknun who was sentenced based on the Supreme Court's
Decision Number 574 K/Pid.Sus/2018 dated 26 September 2018 received public
attention. The decision is considered contrary to the sense of justice in society,
especially in terms of protecting women's rights. The purpose of this study is to answer
the considerations and decisions of the Supreme Court Decision Number 574
K/Pid.Sus/2018 dated 26 September 2018 and how it is seen from the perspective of
protecting women's rights. This study uses a normative study law research method.
Normative legal research is a scientific research procedure to find the truth based on
the logic of legal scholarship from the normative side. This study concludes, first, that
the Court's legal considerations, apart from containing contradictions between one
another's considerations, also only looked at the formal actions taken by the Defendant
(Baiq Nuril Maknun). Second, in the perspective of legal justice, especially the
protection of women's rights, the Supreme Court's decision also ignores the side of
women's dignity which according to Perma No. 3 of 2017 is considered by Supreme
Court Judges RI.
