Peace in Divorce Matters at the Regular Legal Efforts Level

The number of divorce cases filed in religious courts has been steadily increasing every year. Many of these cases arise from couples who do not genuinely desire a divorce and the respondent makes every effort to preserve their marriage, even resorting to legal avenues in their divorce cases. Many parties experience a change of heart and reconcile with their spouse after the first-instance decision is read in an open court session, which can be considered as occurring at the level of legal efforts. When reconciliation happens, how do parties achieve peace in divorce cases at the regular legal level? This study uses library research involving a series of activities related to the examination of library data. The nature of this research is descriptive and the data is presented qualitatively, aiming to provide an illustration of situations or events. The data source is secondary data, obtained through a review of legal materials. Data sources refer to the subjects from which data can be obtained. Legal materials include both primary and secondary legal sources. The results of this study indicate that peace in divorce matters at the level of regular legal efforts can be implemented in practice, ensuring that the parties consistently pursue regular legal measures so that the case is not legally binding, thus preventing the issuance of divorce certificates.
