Abstract

This research aims to understand and reveal the factors that cause filing a divorce suit at the Jepara Regency Religious Court in 2022, and to find out the basic considerations of judges in resolving contested divorce cases at the Jepara Religious Court. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with the type of field research. Data was obtained through field observations, interviews, and literature study. The subject of this research is the Judge of the Jepara Religious Court. The results of the research show that there were 1949 cases of contested divorce that occurred in the Jepara Religious Courts in 2022. Several factors that caused contested divorces include economic factors, disputes and quarrels, and the factor of leaving one of the parties. The judge's consideration in resolving a contested divorce case is to look at the reasons for filing the divorce suit, apart from that the supporting evidence is also taken into consideration by the judge. If the reason for the divorce claim is invalid and does not comply with the law and then the evidence presented in court is also not strong enough then the divorce claim cannot be decided or can also be rejected by the Religious Court judge.
