This research uses a content analysis approach. The data source used is Decision Number 263/ Pdt.G /2007/ PTA.Sby . The decision was analyzed using the content analysis method. The data used is secondary data consisting of primary legal materials in the form of Wasiat Wajibah decisions of the Indonesian Religious Courts, as well as secondary and tertiary legal materials.
