Gresik Religious Court Partners with 130 Companies to Protect Women's and Children's Rights After Divorce
The Gresik Religious Court (PA Gresik) has teamed up with around 130 companies to make sure women's and children's alimony rights after divorce are actually met. This program, which kicked off in August 2024, is a first in Indonesia and got recognized by MURI. The number of partner companies has grown from 50 to 130.
Here's how it works: once a ruling has permanent legal force, the Gresik Religious Court sends a letter to the company where the ex-husband works, informing them about the verdict's contents. The company then helps set aside part of his salary for alimony according to the court's decision.
This move is meant to stop ex-husbands from ignoring their obligations. By getting companies involved, the hope is to guarantee the well-being of women and children after divorce, since a lot of times their economic rights get neglected after the verdict is handed down.
The program involves companies from all sorts of sectors, like banking, housing developers, hospitals, and other private firms in the Gresik Regency.
