Divorce is the most dominant marital dispute examined and adjudicated by the Religious Courts. One direct consequence of divorce is the husband’s obligation to fulfil his former wife’s civil rights in the form of madhiyah maintenance, iddah maintenance including housing and clothing, mut’ah, child maintenance, and the division of marital property. For divorce committed by the State Civil Apparatus, Article 8 of Government Regulation Number 10 of 1983 also applies, requiring the division of salary to the former wife until she lawfully remarries. This study aims to analyse the fulfilment of the wife’s civil rights in talak divorce cases of the State Civil Apparatus and the problems arising from the application of that provision. This is normative legal research employing statutory, conceptual, and analytical approaches, drawing on primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials analysed qualitatively. The findings show that talak through judicial proceedings aims to prevent arbitrariness by the husband, so that judges may order lump-sum payment of maintenance before the talak pledge is pronounced and impose dwangsom for late payment. Furthermore, Article 8 is problematic because it sets no maximum time limit, creating room for abuse through unregistered sirri marriage, thus requiring judicial breakthrough in the form of lump-sum payment for a definite period.
