The parties were married on 5 December 2014, after which they lived in a rental property owned by the respondent's parents in Siteba for just one day, before the respondent left for no apparent reason. The applicant returned to his parents' home, while the respondent appeared at her parents' home four days after leaving. After separating, the applicant learned that the respondent had struggled with the concept of being married to the applicant (the parties' marriage was arranged), and had not been prepared to marry the applicant.
On 29 December 2014, the parties underwent counselling, with the assistance of family and a mediator from the Office of Religious Affairs. The counselling, however, was in vain. The applicant decided that the parties could not remain married and requested the Court grant him a revocable divorce (talak satu raj'i).
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, acceded to the applicant's request on the grounds of ongoing conflict.
