The parties were married on 3 July 1995. In his vows (sighat taklik talak), the defendant promised to fulfil his spousal obligations and to treat the plaintiff well. Moreover, he stated that the plaintiff may divorce him before a religious court (pengadilan agama) if he ever:

1. left the plaintiff for two consecutive years;
2. failed to provide the plaintiff with financial support for three months;
3. caused the plaintiff any physical or psychological harm; and/or
4. neglected the plaintiff for six months.

The plaintiff submitted that the parties' marriage had been harmonious for 16 years. In May 2011, however, the defendant had left the plaintiff for no apparent reason, never to return. During that time the defendant neither provided the plaintiff with any financial support nor did he show any care for the plaintiff or communicate with the plaintiff, contrary to points 1, 2 and 4 of his marriage vows. Accordingly, the plaintiff requested that the court grant her a judicial divorce for a fee (talak satu khul'i) of IDR 10,000.

In acceding to the plaintiff's application, the court acknowledged the defendant's absence from court, but also accepted the plaintiff's submissions, as well as the written evidence submitted and the witnesses she produced in court to corroborate her evidence. Pursuant to art 116(g) of the Compilation of Islamic Laws, the court granted the plaintiff a divorce for a fee and ordered her to pay costs (IDR 176,000).

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. Accordingly, pursuant to art 39(2) of Law No. 1 of 1974, art 19(b) and (f) of Government Regulation No. 9 of 1975, and art 116(b) and (f) of the Compilation of Islamic Laws, it acceded to the applicant's request on the grounds that the parties had been apart for more than two consecutive years, and ongoing conflict.

3. had not secured any form of employment;
4. frequently went out at night;
5. was excessively jealous;
6. failed to provide for the plaintiff; and
7. had not been a leader of the parties' household.
