Main Article Content
Abstract
People smuggling with the mode of mail order brides is a crime opportunity for Chinese men to bring Indonesian women to China. Indonesian women are persuaded tens of millions of rupiah in the form of dowry to be married to Chinese men as a guarantee that when married Indonesian women will be treated like a married couple. But allegedly when they were in China, Indonesian women were not treated like a wife as they should be. Indonesian women are forced to work and even tortured if they do not follow the wishes of the Chinese husband. The formulation of the problem examined in this study is how to prove the elements of Article 120 paragraph (1) of Law Number 6 of 2011 concerning Immigration in the SDD case and what obstacles are experienced in proving cases of people smuggling with the mode of mail order brides. The research method used is empirical normative research by interviewing sources and collecting literature materials related to this research. From the results of the research, it can be seen that SDD's actions have fulfilled the elements of Article 120 paragraph (1) of the Immigration Law. However, immigration investigators public prosecutor have difficulty in applying and proving this article because there is a mode of mail order brides in mixed marriages involving two different nationalities.
