The parties were married on 13 May 2004. The plaintiff submitted that after 10 years and one month the parties separated in June 2014, and had remained so until the proceeding. The reasons for the breakdown of the parties' marriage included:

1. a difference in principles and way of thinking, including the defendant not allowing the plaintiff to work outside the home;
2. the plaintiff not being allowed to work outside the home despite the fact that the defendant's salary could not meet their daily needs; and
3. the defendant providing the plaintiff with no financial and emotional support.

Despite having been summonsed formally, the defendant had failed to attend the proceeding. Regardless, the court, pursuant to art 19(f) of Government Regulation No. 9 of 1975, in conjunction with art 116(f) of the Compilation of Islamic Laws, granted the plaintiff an irrevocable divorce (talak satu ba'in sughra) on the grounds of ongoing conflict.
