The parties were married on 15 November 2006 and had two children. They had been separated for the past five years and, for the duration of the marriage, the defendant had failed to provide the plaintiff with any financial support. The defendant had also displayed alcoholic tendencies, and had failed to care for his children. The plaintiff submitted that divorce was the only feasible option available.

The Court acceded to the plaintiff's request for an irrevocable divorce (talak satu ba'in sughra) on the grounds of ongoing conflict, pursuant to art 19(f) of Government Regulation No. 9 of 1975, and art 116(f) of the Compilation of Islamic Laws. The Court also acknowledged that the parties' marriage no longer represented a joyful and everlasting union, as envisaged by art 1 of Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage, or a peaceful, hopeful and loving (sakinah, mawaddah dan rahmah) family, as envisaged art 3 of the Compilation of Islamic Laws.

The parties were married on 10 June 2011, after which they had lived with the parents of the defendant's first wife for two months, and then with the defendant's neighbour for one year and three months. The plaintiff submitted that, initially, the marriage had been harmonious, but by September 2011 it had become quarrelsome because:

1. the defendant's child from his first marriage had told the plaintiff to leave their home because they did not like her; and
2. the defendant had loaned money to another person without first informing the plaintiff.

On 2 November 2012, feeling unappreciated, the plaintiff left for Balikpapan without telling the defendant. The parties had remained separated for the five months leading up to the proceeding. Feeling the parties' marriage could not be salvaged, the plaintiff requested that the court grant her an irrevocable divorce (talak satu ba'in sughra).

Despite the defendant's absence from court, 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 plaintiff's request on the grounds of ongoing conflict.

The parties were married on 4 April 2004 and had two children, who were now in the care of the respondent. They had lived with the applicant's parents for two years, before moving to the respondent's parents' home, where they had lived for six years and five months. The applicant submitted that the marriage had been harmonious until mid-2008, when the respondent had begun to flout the applicant's wishes, and the respondent's family had begun to meddle in the parties' domestic affairs. In June 2010, the applicant quarrelled with the respondent's family yet again, resulting in the applicant being asked to leave the respondent's parents' home, before the local imam was able to bring them to reconcile. In September 2012, following yet another argument, the applicant returned to his own parents' home.

The parties had remained separated for the seven months leading up to the proceeding, which had caused the applicant to suffer emotionally. Resigned to the fact that the marriage could not be salvaged, the applicant requested the court's permission to divorce (talak satu raj'i) the respondent.

Despite the respondent's absence from court, 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, acceded to the applicant's request on the grounds of ongoing conflict.

The parties were married on 6 February 2004 and had two children. The applicant submitted that, while the first six years of the parties' marriage had been harmonious, it had been quarrelsome from thereon. The applicant submitted that the respondent had been disobedient and disrespectful towards the applicant as the head of the household by, for example, leaving the parties' home without the applicant's permission, neglecting her duties as a homemaker. Moreover, the respondent would act or make decisions without considering the applicant's opinion. The applicant also submitted that he had suspected the respondent was having an extra-marital affair, which had been a cause of conflict between the parties.

On 25 July 2011, the respondent left the parties' home without first informing the applicant. The applicant's subsequent attempts to locate the respondent had been in vain, and he submitted that he was resigned to the fact that the marriage could not be salvaged. Accordingly, he requested that the court grant him permission to divorce (talak satu raj'i) the respondent.

Despite the respondent's absence from court, 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, acceded to the applicant's request on the grounds of ongoing conflict.

The parties were married on 21 May 2010 and had one child. The applicant submitted that after two months, on 14 July 2010, the parties had quarrelled but were still living together. After the birth of the parties' child in January 2011, the parties had begun to quarrel frequently. By February 2011 the parties had begun to argue on a daily basis, prompting the applicant to leave the parties' home. Accordingly, the applicant sought the court's permission to divorce the respondent (talak satu raj'i).

The court acknolwedged that the parties' marriage was in an irreparable state and no longer constituted a joyful and everlasting domestic life, per art 1 of Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage, or a peaceful, hopeful and loving domestic life, per art 3 of the Compilation of Islamic Laws. 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, it acceded to the applicant's request on the grounds of ongoing conflict.

The parties were married on 31 March 2011, after which they had lived with the respondent's parents for almost two and a half years. In August 2013, however, the parties separated after their marriage had become quarrelsome. The applicant submitted that this was because the respondent had no apparent reason for not wanting to live with the applicant's parents at a time when the applicant had to take care of his elderly parents. The applicant submitted that the parties' marriage was no longer joyful, peaceful, hopeful and loving (bahagia, sakinah, mawadah dan rohmah) based on one almighty God (Ketuhanan Yang Maha Esa). The parties' disagreement and subsequent quarrelling had also prevented them from conceiving a child. Accordingly, the applicant requested that the court grant him a revocable divorce (talak satu raj'i).

The court, pursuant to art 39(2) of Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage, arts 19(f) and 22 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. The court handed down its verdict despite the respondent's absence from court.

The parties were married on 13 October 2014. They lived with the plaintiff's parents for nine months, the first seven of which, the plaintiff submitted, had been harmonious. Since May 2015, however, their marriage had become quarrelsome. The plaintiff submitted that this was because the defendant's wage was insufficient to provide for his family meaning that the parties would have to rely on the plaintiff's parents to meet their daily needs. Moreover, that the defendant refused to look for additional employment to supplement his income. In July 2015, after problems between the parties escalated, the defendant left the plaintiff to live with his own parents. The parties had remained separated for the six months leading up to the proceeding.

The court acceded to the plaintiff's application, acknowledging that the parties' marriage was beyond repair. 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, the court granted the plaintiff an irrevocable divorce (talak satu bain sughra) on the grounds of ongoing conflict.

The parties were married on 29 December 2006 and had two children, both of whom were in the care of the plaintiff at the time of the proceeding. The plaintiff submitted that the first seven months of the parties' marriage had been harmonious, but since November 2013 their marriage had become quarrelsome because the defendant:

1. seldom provided for the parties' family;
2. frequently returned to his parents' home without the plaintiff's knowledge, even spending more time with his parents than the plaintiff;
3. was dependent on his parents; and
4. did not act as the leader of the household.

Problems escalated in January 2014 when the defendant left the plaintiff for no apparent reason. The parties had remained separated since. Accordingly, the plaintiff felt that the parties' marriage was irreparable and that an irrevocable divorce (talak satu ba'in sughra) was the only feasible remaining option.

The court, pursuant to art 19(b) of Government Regulation No. 9 of 1975, and art 116(b) of the Compilation of Islamic Laws, acceded to the plaintiff's request on the grounds that the parties had been separated for two consecutive years or more.

The parties were married on 27 June 2009 and had two children aged 2 and 3 years, both of whom were in the care of the respondent. The applicant submitted that the parties' marriage had always been quarrelsome because the respondent had:

1. constantly accused the applicant of carrying on an extra-marital affair, which had affected the applicant's ability to provide for his family and threatened his well-being; and
2. frequently exaggerated the state of the parties' domestic life to her parents.

Problems escalated on 29 July 2014 when the respondent's refusal to cook for the applicant turned into an argument between the parties. Three days later, while the applicant was not at home, the respondent's parents attended the parties' home to collect the respondent, the parties' two children, and the parties' belongings. The parties had remained separated ever since. The applicant, therefore, believed that a revocable divorce (talak satu raj'i) was the only feasible option available.

The court acknowledged that the parties could no longer fulfil the purpose of marriage as envisaged by art 1 of Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage, and art 3 of the Compilation of Islamic Laws. Accordingly, 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, it acceded to the applicant's request on the grounds of ongoing conflict.

The parties were married on 30 March 2004 and had two children aged 8 and 10 years, both of whom were in the defendant's care at the time of the proceeding. The plaintiff submitted that the parties' marriage had been harmonious for the first year. Since May 2005, however, it had become quarrelsome because the defendant would frequently abuse the plaintiff, both physically and emotionally. Problems escalated in August 2013 when the defendant physically assaulted the plaintiff again, resulting in the plaintiff leaving the defendant and returning to her parents' home. The plaintiff, therefore, requested that the court grant her an irrevocable divorce (talak satu ba'in sughra).

The court acknowledged that the parties could no longer fulfil the purpose of marriage as envisaged by art 1 of Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage, and art 3 of the Compilation of Islamic Laws.

The parties were married on 13 October 2000 and had two children aged 14 and 10 years, both of whom were in the plaintiff's care at the time of the proceeding. The plaintiff submitted that the parties' marriage had been harmonious for the first 12 years. Since October 2012, however, it had become quarrelsome because the defendant:

1. had rarely provided the basic necessities for his family, which would lead to conflict;
2. was emotionally abusive; and
3. had failed to provide the plaintiff with any financial or emotional support since February 2013 (the past three years approximately).

The plaintiff, feeling that divorce was the only feasible option remaining, requested that the court grant her an irrevocable divorce (talak satu ba'in sughra).

The court acknowledged that the parties could no longer fulfil the purpose of marriage as envisaged by art 1 of Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage, and art 3 of the Compilation of Islamic Laws.
