Divorce case

From Suara Karya

I sympathize with Mrs. Ida after reading of her experience in the Konsultasi Hukum column in the paper on Sept. 28, 1994. I do not know why your husband deserted you 10 years ago. I believe there must be a family problem that is difficult to solve.

Leaving a wife (family) for 10 years without her prior knowledge and providing no financial support is against the Marriage Law.

Your asking the Religious Court to issue a divorce certificate is justifiable, and if the marriage certificate is with your husband you can ask for a copy at the district Office of Religious Affairs where your marriage was registered.

I share your happiness that you have a new suitor. I hope your new partner understands your problem. I would like to warn you not to get married illegally, or you will get into trouble.
