The parties were married on 30 July 2006 and had one child. Initially, the parties' marriage was harmonious. The applicant submitted, however, that, since January 2014, it had become quarrelsome because:

1. the parties no longer agreed on domestic affairs;
2. the respondent often rebelled against the advice of the applicant;
3. the respondent often referred to the applicant's past;
4. there had been a communication breakdown between the parties;
5. the respondent had not been a good wife to the applicant; and
6. the respondent was temperamental and did not want to listen to the applicant's opinions.

These problems escalated in June 2014, causing the parties to separate. After unsuccessfully counselling the applicant to reunite with the respondent, and the respondent failing to attend the proceeding, the court, pursuant to art 39 of Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage, art 19(f) of Government Regulation No. 9 of 1975, and art 116(f) of the Compilation of Islamic Laws, granted the applicant a revocable divorce (talak satu raj'i) on the grounds of ongoing conflict.
