ANALISIS BULLYING PERSPEKTIF HUKUM PERDATA: STUDI KASUS PEMBULLYAN HINGGA HILANG NYAWA SANTRI DI KOTA KEDIRI

Bullying cases in Indonesia indicate that victims often do not receive adequate protection and assistance. Weak legal protection and slow implementation are major challenges. In civil law itself, personal law is recognized, wherein individuals have rights and obligations that make them legal subjects. One of the rights that bullying victims obtain under civil law is the right to sue and receive compensation. In this journal, the author highlights the case of a student in Kediri city, namely Bintang Balqis Maulana (14), a student at the Al Hanifiyah Islamic Boarding School from Banyuwangi. The author will analyze how Indonesian civil law regulates the case of student abuse that resulted in death and the civil rights to material compensation, thereby demonstrating the importance of restitution mechanisms for the victim's family and the mechanisms used in resolving the case. The method used by the author in writing this journal is descriptive qualitative, focusing on library research to examine the formulation of problems and in-depth analysis based on various reference sources. The importance of highlighting this case is due to the reality that, according to research by the Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI), around 3,800 bullying cases were reported in Indonesia throughout 2023. Nearly half occurred in educational institutions, including Islamic boarding schools. Keywords: Bullying, civil law, restitution, compensation
