<![CDATA[This research aims to examine the comparative analysis of how District Courts and Religious Courts interpret the phrases "continuous disputes" and "irretrievable breakdown of marital harmony," as well as the reconstruction of these phrases as legitimate grounds for divorce in court. This study employs normative legal research with a statutory approach and a case study approach. The types of data utilized are primary and secondary data. The legal materials were collected through library research. The data analysis technique employed in this research is inductive analysis. The findings of this research indicate that in interpreting the phrase "continuous disputes," both the District Court and the Religious Court utilize the same legal basis, namely the Circular Letter Number 3 of 2023 concerning the Enforcement of the Formulation of the Results of the Plenary Meeting of the Chambers of the Supreme Court of 2023 as Guidelines for the Implementation of Court Duties. Conversely, in interpreting "irretrievable breakdown of marital harmony," the consideration in both the District Court and the Religious Court revolves around whether or not there have been attempts by family members to reconcile the disputing spouses. The distinction lies in the fact that the Religious Court's provisions are regulated in greater detail within the Qur'an and Hadith. It is suggested that these interpretations should also be explicitly stated in the articles or the explanatory notes of the relevant legal provisions.]]>
