Divorce (talaq) is the last way that is allowed to resolve domestic problems that cannot be repaired anymore. However, Islam also advocates reconciliation efforts before talaq is pronounced. Mediation is carried out by judge mediators and non-judge mediators who have participated in the Special Education for the Mediator Profession (PKPM) organized by institutions that have been accredited by the Supreme Court. In carrying out its duties and functions, it must refer to Supreme Court Regulations No. 1 of 2016 concerning Mediation Procedures in Court. This research was carried out at the Religious Court Class 1A Yogyakarta.
