The applicant submitted that the parties had begun to quarrel regularly because the respondent would often leave the matrimonial home unbeknownst to the applicant and, on 4 June 2013, the respondent had relocated to her parents' home without the applicant's permission.
The applicant told the court that his efforts to reconcile with the respondent had been in vain, and that he believed their marriage to no longer be tenable. The respondent failed to attend the proceeding, despite having been formally summonsed. In the respondent's absence, the court, pursuant to art 39(2) 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.
