The appellant sought to challenge the decision of the Takengon Shari'a Court (lower court), which had stipulated the parties' joint and personal assets.
The Court concurred with the stipulations of the lower court, but only insofar as what constituted the joint assets of the parties. As the parties had never requested that the lower court also rule on what constituted the parties' personal assets, the Court felt compelled to provide its own judgment, only including the parties' joint assets.
