Want a divorce? Beware of brokers<\/p>\n
SURABAYA, East Java (JP): The increasing number of divorce cases
\nhas given rise to middlemen, who offer services to those who want
\nto bypass formal, arduous administrative procedures.<\/p>\n
Brokers, roaming the offices of the religious court, promise
\ndivorcing couples that they can arrange the procedures easily
\nwith court officials, so long as the couple can afford to pay.<\/p>\n
\"The provincial high court office has just received reports on
\na number of falsified divorce documents,\" chief of the East Java
\nHigh Court, Zulkifli Rachman, said yesterday, reported Antara.<\/p>\n
The collusion between brokers and court officials came to
\nlight recently after a woman complained to the Surabaya religious
\ncourt because her husband had never mentioned anything about
\ndivorcing her.<\/p>\n
In addition, she said she has never signed the document
\nlegalizing the divorce, Rachman said.<\/p>\n
\"In passing, the documents seem authentic. But later it was
\nfound that even the judge's signature was falsified,\" he said.<\/p>\n
He said her claim prompted an investigation into the matter,
\nwhich found that she was only one of the many spouses who have
\nthe same problem. (pan)<\/p>",
