The appellant sought to challenge the decision of the Banda Aceh Shari'a Court (lower court), which had granted the respondent an irrevocable divorce (talak satu bain sughra), as well as custody of the parties' son. The lower court also ordered the appellant to provide the respondent with monthly child maintenance to cover the child's living costs and school fees until the child was of age and independent.
The Court dismissed the appeal, only making minor amendments to the wording of the lower court's judgment.
