The parties were married on 14 April 2009 and had no children. The applicant submitted that the marriage had deteriorated because the respondent frequently complained that the applicant's income was insufficient. On 26 September 2010, the parties separated and each went to live with their respective parents. The parties were unable to reconcile and the applicant requested the court's permission to divorce the respondent.
The court found that the parties could not reconcile their differences, pursuant to art 39(1) of Law No. 1 of 1974, art 31(1) of Government Regulation No. 9 of 1975, art 82(1) of Law No. 7 of 1989, and art 115 of the Compilation of Islamic Laws. Moreover, that the parties could no longer fulfil the purpose of marriage as envisaged in art 1 of Law No. 1 of 1974, art 3 of the Compilation of Islamic Laws, and in the Qur'an, Surat Ar-Ruum, verse 21.
Therefore, pursuant to art 39(2)(f) 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, the court granted the applicant permission to divorce the respondent on the grounds of ongoing conflict. The court also ordered the applicant to pay costs (IDR 391,000).
