DIVORCE IN INDONESIA
by : Siti Nur Qomariyah
What’s
wrong with marriage in Indonesia? There
are a lot of couple that has a long time together but they suddenly decide to
end their marriage. On the surface, everything seems to be no problem. However,
they feel uncomfortable anymore with their marriage. Based on this phenomenon,
there are several reasons for why divorce in Indonesia is increasing.
Economic
aspects are the main factor causing divorce in Indonesia. Divorce not only
happened in poor families but also rich families. The cause of divorce in rich
families is because their lifestyle is too excessive. Because a lifestyle that
is too luxurious and excessive will be able to cause new problems that result
in divorce. In addition, wife's income which is far more than her
husband can be starting point of divorce.
Another
reason is one of the couple too busy with their jobs. We know that we need
money to fulfill our need, but they are too busy until there is no time to
sharing and together with family will make miscommunication being wife and
husband. May be they will never less of financial but their need not only about
financial. They need to communicate each other and solve the problem in family
together. Less of communication could causes their marriage not harmony anymore
and finally got a divorce.
Most
of people prefer to divorce because of domestic violence. They choose to live
alone than always be victim of persecution from his life partner. The victim of
domestic violence is not only the wives but also can be the husband. Domestic
violence is not only interpreted as physical abuse but also rude words. Because
of this reason most of people decide to divorce and start living comfortably.
In
Indonesia, divorce rates are increasing. If this continues to be left, it will affect
the growth of children. The children will lose their parents' figure and
affection from them. Most of children who be victim of divorce, their academic
score will be decrease, prefer to be alone and many also act far more naughty
than before. Of course this will adversely affect the future of the children and
successors of the Indonesia.
