The court ratified the applicants' Islamic marriage of 8 May 1985, and ordered them, pursuant to art 2(2) of Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage, and art 5 of the Compilation of Islamic Laws, to register their marriage with the Office of Religious Affairs.

The court ratified the applicants' Islamic marriage of 14 September 2000, and ordered them, pursuant to art 2(2) of Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage, and art 5 of the Compilation of Islamic Laws, to register their marriage with the Office of Religious Affairs.

The court ratified the applicants' Islamic marriage of 6 May 1977, and ordered them, pursuant to art 2(2) of Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage, and art 5 of the Compilation of Islamic Laws, to register their marriage with the Office of Religious Affairs.

The court ratified the applicants' Islamic marriage of 1 April 1980, and ordered them, pursuant to art 2(2) of Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage, and art 5 of the Compilation of Islamic Laws, to register their marriage with the Office of Religious Affairs.

The court ratified the applicants' Islamic marriage of 10 July 1993, and ordered them to register their marriage with the Office of Religious Affairs. Specifically, it noted that as the marriage was not hindered by anything, such as being related by blood or wet-nurse, it could be ratified.

The applicant sought dispensation from the court in order that his underage son (17 years, 9 months) could marry his fiancee (19 years). The court, pursuant to art 7(2) of Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage, acceded to the applicant's request, primarily because she was already two months' pregnant with their child.

The parties were married on 20 October 2007. The applicant submitted that he and the respondent had been happily married for six years and four months. From November 2013, however, the marriage had become quarrelsome because:

1. the respondent had had an extra-marital affair;
2. the respondent no longer executed her domestic responsibilities;
3. the applicant had divorced the respondent three times as a result; and
4. if domestic life were to continue, the respondent would not provide any serenity therein.

Problems escalated in April 2014 when the applicant discovered that the respondent was still having an extra-marital affair with the same man, an affair the applicant had already excused. The applicant had already made an effort to save the marriage, as had both parties' families, but these were in vain. Accordingly, 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 applicant a revocable divorce (talak satu raj'i) on the grounds of ongoing conflict.

The plaintiff submitted that, since October 2011, she and the defendant had quarrelled regularly. This was a result of the defendant:

1. only providing the plaintiff with as much financial support as he saw fit, meaning the plaintiff also had to work to meet their domestic needs; and
2. often staying out late for trivial purposes such as hunting, fishing or seeing his friends.

Problems escalated in December 2012, causing the plaintiff to move to the defendant's parents' home. Since then the parties had shared no physical intimacy, and despite the plaintiff's attempts to patiently stand by the defendant, the defendant's behaviour had not changed. The defendant also failed to attend court, despite having been summonsed formally.

The court acceded to the plaintiff's application for an irrevocable divorce (talak satu Ba'in Sughro) on the grounds of ongoing conflict, per art 19(f) of Government Regulation No. 9 of 1975, in conjunction with art 116(f) of the Compilation of Islamic Laws.

The parties were married on 11 June 1997 and had lived together for 12 years and three months. The plaintiff submitted, however, that the marriage had become quarrelsome in 2007 as a result of:

1. the defendant not being transparent with his finances and failing to provide the family with sufficient financial support;
2. frequent misunderstandings in all aspects of domestic life, without any foreseeable solution;
3. the defendant's family always meddling in the parties' domestic affairs;
4. the defendant's self-centred attitude towards his children and not being interested in domestic affairs; and
5. the defendant not providing the plaintiff with any emotional support for four years.

The parties separated in February 2010, after the plaintiff could no longer cope with the defendant's behaviour. Despite being summonsed formally, the defendant failed to attend court. The court granted the plaintiff an irrevocable divorce (talak satu Ba'in Sughro) on the grounds of ongoing conflict, per art 19(f) of Government Regulation No. 9 of 1975, in conjunction with art 116(f) of the Compilation of Islamic Laws.

The parties were married on 2 November 2013. The applicant submitted that he and the respondent had not had a permanent place of residence. For a month the parties had lived with the applicant's parents at times, and with the respondent's parents at other times, after which the parties then lived separately with their respective parents. In January 2014, problems escalated as the respondent had constantly asked for a divorce, claiming she no longer loved the applicant, that she did not want to start a family with the applicant, and that she could not cope with the applicant's skin condition any longer. Despite being summonsed formally, the respondent failed to attend the proceeding.

The court granted the applicant a revocable divorce (talak satu raj'i) on the grounds of ongoing conflict, per art 19(f) of Government Regulation No. 9 of 1975, in conjunction with art 116(f) of the Compilation of Islamic Laws.

The parties were married on 21 March 2001. The plaintiff submitted that, since January 2013, however, the marriage had become quarrelsome. This was a result of the defendant:

1. having had an extra-marital affair with an unmarried woman, of which the plaintiff became aware after reading text messages between the defendant and the other woman, as well as seeing the two spending the night at the defendant's parents' home;
2. never providing the plaintiff with financial support for more than 10 consecutive years; and
3. often leaving their home for days on end, claiming it was due to his work when it was not.

Problems escalated in April 2014, with the defendant saying he was leaving because of work, only never to return. Despite being formally summonsed, the defendant was absent from court. Accordingly, the court granted the plaintiff an irrevocable divorce (talak satu ba'in sughro) on the grounds of ongoing conflict, 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 parties were married on 11 February 2012. Then, in March 2012, the plaintiff left the defendant's parents' home, where she had been living with the defendant, unable to cope with the poor way in which the defendant was treating her. The plaintiff submitted that the defendant would often leave her for several days without saying where he was going, and that the defendant only once provided her with the necessary financial support from the time they were married. Moreover, the plaintiff's attempts to keep the marriage on foot, hoping the defendant's attitude would change, had been in vain. Accordingly, pursuant to art 19(b) of Government Regulation No. 9 of 1975, in conjunction with art 116(b) of the Compilation of Islamic Laws, the court granted the plaintiff an irrevocable divorce (talak satu bain sughra) on the grounds that the parties had been apart for more than two years.

The parties were married on 22 July 2005. The plaintiff submitted that, since June 2009, however, the parties' marriage had become quarrelsome. This was a result of the defendant:

1. never working and not being able to provide the plaintiff with sufficient financial support, resulting in the plaintiff relocating to Malaysia for work to meet the parties' joint needs; and
2. already having a child with another woman, but the plaintiff not knowing the identity of this other woman, and only knowing about the child from the defendant's family and members of the public having seen him with this other woman.

In November 2009, believing their problems were irreconcilable, the plaintiff left the defendant and returned to her parents' home after no longer being able to cope with the poor way in which the defendant was treating her. The defendant also failed to attend court, despite having been summonsed formally.

The court granted the plaintiff an irrevocable divorce (talak satu Ba'in Sughra) on the grounds of ongoing conflict, and that the parties had been separated for more than two years, per art 19(f) and (b) of Government Regulation No. 9 of 1975, in conjunction with art 116(f) and (b) of the Compilation of Islamic Laws.

The parties were married on 11 July 1999. The plaintiff submitted that, after being married to the defendant for 12 years and seven months, the parties had separated after the plaintiff was instructed by the defendant to return to her parents' home. Since June 2011, the parties had quarrelled due to the defendant:

1. having had an extra-marital affair with another married woman;
2. no longer providing the plaintiff with emotional or financial support for approximately two years; and
3. being very stubborn, and often angry with, and ignoring, the plaintiff and her efforts to serve and support him.

Problems escalated in January 2013, resulting in the defendant telling the plaintiff to leave. The court granted the plaintiff an irrevocable divorce (talak satu bain sugra) on the grounds of ongoing conflict, 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 parties were married on 28 November 1994. In September 2012 and after 18 years of marriage, however, the defendant left the plaintiff. The plaintiff submitted that, since June 2004, the marriage had been quarrelsome. This was the result of the defendant becoming angry and easily agitated by the smallest of problems, resulting in his use of profane language and threatening to divorce the plaintiff. In addition, the defendant often resorted to physical violence towards the defendant, slapping and hitting the plaintiff to the extent that the plaintiff had incurred nerve damage to her right eye for which she was still receiving medical treatment.

Since their separation in September 2012, there had been no physical intimacy between the parties, and the defendant had not provided the plaintiff with any financial support. The defendant also failed to attend court, despite having been summonsed formally. 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 Sughro) on the grounds of ongoing conflict.

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.

The court declared the case null and void as the plaintiff had failed to comply with a payment request made to it by the registrar.

The applicant submitted that, since 2013, the parties' marriage had been disharmonious. In December 2013, the applicant discovered that the respondent had had an extra-marital affair with another man and, since then, had lived separately from the respondent, until July 2014. In September 2014, the respondent had given birth to a child that was not the applicant's, having concealed the pregnancy via various means. The applicant finally decided to separate from the respondent.

The failure of both the applicant and respondent to attend court meant the court had no option but to render the application's request for a revocable divorce (talak satu raj'i) null and void.

The applicant submitted that, since 2014, the parties' marriage had become quarrelsome. This was due to the fact that the respondent was never content with the monthly sum of money with which she was provided by the applicant (IDR 3 million), and, more specifically, in mid-May 2014, the respondent had requested IDR 6 million, an amount the applicant could not afford. Despite being summonsed formally, the respondent failed to appear in court. The court, pursuant to art 39(2) of Law No. 1 of 1974, 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.
