Lhoksukon Shari'a Court Decision No. 475 of 2014: Irrevocable Divorce Granted

The parties were married on 30 April 2009 and had two children (born 27 March 2001 and 9 August 2005). The plaintiff submitted that the defendant:

  1. had married another woman without her permission;
  2. had begun living with this other woman; and
  3. had verbally abused the plaintiff.

In 2014, the parties separated. On 25 November 2014, the plaintiff filed for divorce on the grounds that the purpose of marriage, as stipulated in art 3 of the Compilation of Islamic Laws, could no longer be realised.

The court found that the parties' marriage no longer met the purpose of marriage as envisaged in art 3 of the Compilation of Islamic Laws 1991, and art 1 of Law No. 1 of 1974. Moreover, pursuant to art 19(f) of Government Regulation No. 9 of 1975, in conjunction with art 116(f) of the Compilation of Islamic Laws, the court granted the plaintiff an irrevocable divorce (talak satu bain sughra) on the grounds of ongoing conflict, and ordered the plaintiff to pay court costs (IDR 316,00).
