Reza-Adjie divorce needs SBY's attention

Reza-Adjie divorce needs SBY's attention

I just read an article in The Jakarta Post on Dec. 18, titled
President asks artists to cover up. If President Susilo Bambang
Yudhoyono has the time to respond to this kind of matter, I also
hope the President has the time to attend to the divorce
proceedings of singer Reza Artamevia and celebrity-cum-legislator
Adjie Massaid.

As a mother, I understand the distress of Reza. Whatever
happens during a marriage, as long as the mother or the father
does not hurt or ill-treat the children, I think he or she still
has the right to see her or his children. I hope Adjie, a House
of Representatives legislator from the Democratic Party, realizes
that the children also have the right to see their mother.

I also hope the President knows that Adjie, through his
lawyer, asked Reza to give a sumpah pocong (oath of innocence by
wrapping up in a shroud), which I think is the most ridiculous
and unexpected request by a religious and knowledgeable man. If
he thinks his wife cheated on him, then divorce her, however let
her continue to see her children. Why can't he act like other
divorced couples, who let their ex-spouses see their children? I
hope the President, who was nominated by the Democratic Party,
will ask Adjie to allow Reza to visit their loving children.
