Abstract

Abstract: The suicidal divorce case is a case that is usually resolved by the Religious Courts. However, since the entry of the COVID-19 pandemic in the territory of Indonesia, the case of suicidal divorce has received much attention in the social sphere. A surge in claimable divorce cases also occurred within the Sidoarjo Religious Court. Through his decision number 2903/pdt.G/2020/ PA.sda, the author will identify the decision with the site of the case, the parties, witnesses, judges' considerations, and the verdict. This study uses the normative legal method which refers to the concept of law as a rule with a doctrinal-nomological method which starts on the teaching principles that rule one's behavior. The data used are library sources such as research journals, newspapers, and public discussions by related institutions. The results of this study concluded that Plaintiff filed for divorce at the Sidoarjo Religious Court, because her husband, who was the Defendant, committed violence against her and did not provide for her well-being. In deciding the case, the judge granted the Defendant's petition, based on witness testimony and the marriage law, besides that the judge granted custody of the child to the Plaintiff because the child was still a minor so that the mother had more rights to receive hadhanah rights. Based on the above case, every couple in the household should carry out their rights and obligations properly so that domestic violence does not occur which can lead to divorce.
