PENYELESAIAN PERKARA PERMOHONAN CERAI TALAK PADA AGENDA PEMBUKTIAN DENGAN NOMOR PERKARA 251/Pdt.G/2023/PA.Mlg DI PENGADILAN AGAMA MALANG

Marriage is a sacred bond entered into by men and women based on love and affection to create a harmonious household. In a marriage, there are differing opinions or thoughts about various matters, which can be the basis for disputes, conflicts, or issues between husbands and wives within a family. These differences can even lead to divorce when solutions cannot be found for the arising problems. The objective of this research is to understand the implementation of the resolution of divorce cases, specifically divorce petition hearings with registration number 251/Pdt.G/2023/PA.Mlg, at the Religious Court of Malang. In this study, the author employs a juridical-empirical research method with a socio-legal approach, utilizing both primary and secondary data, and employing data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and from other sources like books, journals, and legal regulations. This writing is the result of the author's observations during court proceedings, including analyzing the counterarguments, compiling lists of evidence, attending evidence presentation hearings, and drawing conclusions. The focus of this research is on the evidence presentation hearings, which include the presentation of documents, testimonies, presumptions, acknowledgments, and oaths. In essence, in civil procedural law, witnesses are examined one by one, as stipulated in Article 144 HIR and Article 171 RBg. To prevent divorces, it is advisable to conduct socialization among the public, especially those of productive age, regarding marriage laws. Additionally, legislation should be enacted to mandate premarital education for every Indonesian citizen to provide education related to marital life.
