All were decided without defendants’ presence (verstek) except two cases where both plaintiff and defendant were present. This study argues that verstek decision, since it is given in a relatively fast procedure, become the best mechanism for women to seek justice and to end their uncertain status after being neglected by their husband. This is relevant to the court principle where justice is simple, fast and cheap. This principle is laid down in Chapter 4 of Law 48/2009 about Court Power andCompetence.
