Metode penelitian yang digunakan yaitu normatif dengan mengkaji /menganalisis perundang-undangan dan bahan pustaka. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini yaitu Pengaturan hak waris istri sama dengan anak dalam pembagian warisan, sementara dalam kasus ini istri menuntut hak waris lebih kepada anak-anak mendiang suami (pewaris), ahli waris dari mendiang istri sebelumnya yang berhak mendapatkan harta peninggalan si pewaris, dalam hal ini istri dapat melakukan gugatan warisan apabila dalam pernikahan tersebut mempunyai harta bersama tanpa harus menggugat harta bawaan suami (pewaris) dari pernikahan sebelumnya, karena sudah ada musyawarah terlebih dahulu yang dilakukan penggugat dan tergugat. Penggugat tidak merasakan tekanan dalam menandatangani musyawarah adat tehadap pembagian warisan. Dalam dalam hal ini putusan hakim sudah tepat serta sesuai dengan peraturan perundang-undangan.
