What are the steps to file for divorce in the Syariah Court?
The process begins with filing an application in the Syariah Court of the district of residence, followed by sulh or counselling sessions, and finally a hearing for the pronouncement or confirmation of talaq.
General steps: (1) fill in the divorce application form and pay the fee; (2) serve the summons on the spouse; (3) counselling sessions or a conciliatory committee if one party does not agree; (4) the court allows the husband to pronounce talaq before the judge (Act 303, s.47); (5) registration of the divorce and the divorce certificate.
Ancillary claims such as ʿiddah maintenance, mutʿah (consolatory gift) and jointly acquired matrimonial property can be filed at the same time. The procedure differs slightly by state. See talaq & divorce.
