Full Description
The high marriage-divorce rate in West Java, particularly in Karawang, is the focus of this video. The the Islamic Court of Karawang handle 50 to 60 cases per month. That rate is officially recorded in the court. Unfortunately, most couples in the communities organise their marriage and divorce through Amil (religious leader) to avoid marriage certificates and divorce certificates. The victim of this trend is of course the women as they are unable to demand any rights after the divorce. This film takes up the story of Acih, a women who has eight children from her nine marriages. Out of all, only one was done officially through KUA (Office of Religious Affairs ).
