GUGATAN PERCERAIAN KARENA SUAMI POLIGAMI (Analisis putusan Nomor 333/Pdt.G/2015/ PA.Pkj)
Abstract
Polygamy in Indonesia is a complex and often contentious issue. In the legal context, polygamy is permitted as stipulated in Marriage Law No. 1/1974. From a social and cultural perspective, views on polygamy vary. Some communities view it as a legitimate practice and in accordance with religious values, while others consider it a form of gender injustice and can lead to emotional and social problems. In practice, there are some couples who successfully undergo polygamy, but many face difficulties, and divorce is not uncommon. Not a few of the polygamous practices end in divorce lawsuits filed by the wife. One of the decisions regarding this case is Decision Number 333/Pdt.G/2015/ PA.Pkj. This decision will be analyzed by the author using the normative approach method and with the type of literature research. The purpose of the research is to find out how the judge's decision and what the judge's legal considerations were in making the decision. In this decision, the judge advised the plaintiff to maintain her household relationship with the defendant, which then received a positive response from the plaintiff and led to the withdrawal of the lawsuit. In essence, religious and state regulations allow the wife to file a divorce suit against her husband. However, it needs to be understood that marriage is a sacred bond that must be maintained, and divorce is something that must be avoided as much as possible. Therefore, in every divorce suit, the judge will act as a mediator and try to first reconcile the relationship between the plaintiff and the defendant.
