<![CDATA[This article examines the legal construction of infidelity as a trigger for divorce and the relationship between religious-court adjudication and administrative oversight of government personnel. It employs normative legal research using statutory and case approaches, focusing on Stabat Religious Court Decision No. 1593/Pdt.G/2023/PA.Stb. Legal materials are examined through document analysis and systematic interpretation of divorce and civil-service regulations. The analysis indicates that infidelity must be distinguished from the statutory grounds for divorce: its legal relevance depends on the facts and proof of persistent marital conflict and the prospects of reconciliation. Administrative obligations applicable to civil servants, meanwhile, should not be conflated with judicial determinations of whether divorce grounds have been established. The article proposes a clearer analytical distinction among the grounds for dissolving a marriage, evidentiary assessment in court, and potential employment-disciplinary consequences. This framework helps clarify the scope of judicial reasoning while highlighting the need to verify the parties’ employment status and the specific findings recorded in the judgment.]]>
