Aceh Shari'a Court Decision No. 64 of 2010

Aminsyah passed away in 1993. He was survived by his two wives, Hahine binti H. Mundut (first wife and co-respondent), Satumi/Tumi (second wife and first respondent), as well as Ahmad Sopian bin Aminsyah (son/fifth respondent), Adinah binti Aminsyah (daughter/second respondent), Satinah binti Aminsyah (daughter/third respondent), Samsidar binti Aminsyah (daughter/fourth respondent), and Hanime binti Aminsyah (daughter/appellant).

The Kutacane Shari'a Court (lower court) enforced the distribution of the deceased's estate between the beneficiaries, as had already been carried out deliberatively in 1993 in the village of Pancar Iman.

The Court concurred with the lower court's decision regarding the manner in which the estate was distributed. In terms of the appellant's initial claim, however, the considerations of the lower court often conflicted with one another. Accordingly, the Court chose to provide its own judgment.

It found that of the four parcels of land devised by the deceased, two were under the control of the appellant, and two were under the control of the respondents. This had been conducted correctly pursuant to a familial arrangement, and was affirmed by information provided to the Court by witnesses.
