Analisis Putusan Perceraian Nomor: 932/PDT.G/2010/PA.KRW Akibat Pihak Ketiga

Abstract. Marriage is a vital social foundation but often encounters problems leading to divorce, especially due to disputes or the presence of a third party. In Indonesian Islamic law, divorce is considered the last resort after reconciliation efforts fail and is regulated under Law No. 1 Year 1974 and Government Regulation No. 9 Year 1975. This study focuses on analyzing Decision Number 932/Pdt.G/2010/PA.Krw from the Karawang Religious Court concerning divorce caused primarily by adultery. Using a qualitative approach with document analysis and literature review, the study examines the factors causing divorce, the legal basis, and the judge’s considerations. Findings reveal main causes of divorce include the defendant's relationship with a third party, failure to provide financial support, ongoing disputes, and incompatibility of egos. The judge based the decision on the Compilation of Islamic Law, Law No. 1/1974, and Government Regulation No. 9/1975. However, the decision showed weaknesses such as weak evidence regarding the third party, unclear status of “talak” (divorce pronouncement), limited consideration of child’s rights, and a lack of transparency in mediation. Recommendations include strengthening evidence, considering child support and custody rights, clarifying the status of “talak,” enhancing mediation transparency, conducting marriage law education, improving judicial competence, and further research for reforming religious court procedures. Abstrak. Perkawinan merupakan fondasi sosial yang penting, namun sering menghadapi masalah yang berujung pada perceraian, terutama akibat perselisihan atau kehadiran pihak ketiga. Dalam hukum Islam Indonesia, perceraian adalah jalan terakhir setelah upaya perdamaian gagal, diatur dalam UU No. 1 Tahun 1974 dan PP No. 9 Tahun 1975. Penelitian ini fokus pada analisis Putusan Pengadilan Agama Karawang Nomor 932/Pdt.G/2010/PA.Krw terkait perceraian karena perselingkuhan sebagai faktor utama. Metode kualitatif dengan analisis dokumen dan studi literatur digunakan untuk mengkaji faktor penyebab, dasar hukum, dan pertimbangan hakim. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan penyebab utama perceraian meliputi hubungan tergugat dengan pihak ketiga, kurangnya tanggung jawab nafkah, perselisihan terus-menerus, dan ketidakcocokan ego. Hakim menggunakan Kompilasi Hukum Islam, UU No. 1/1974, dan PP No. 9/1975 sebagai dasar hukum. Namun, putusan memiliki kelemahan seperti bukti pihak ketiga yang lemah, status talak yang tidak jelas, minimnya pertimbangan hak anak, dan kurang transparan dalam mediasi. Rekomendasi meliputi peningkatan pembuktian, mempertimbangkan hak anak dan nafkah, klarifikasi status talak, transparansi mediasi, pendidikan hukum perkawinan, kompetensi hakim, serta penelitian lanjutan untuk reformasi hukum acara pengadilan agama.
