Abstract

A divorce broker is a person who provides services to process a divorce certificate in a religious court until it is finalised without even the presence of the plaintiff or defendant and is usually absent in tribunal process called verstek. This causes mediation, which is mandatory in religious courts, to become dysfunctional because one of the parties is not in good faith. This research is an empirical legal research study with a sociological approach. The data collection method is obtained by interview and observation. While the data analysis used is descriptive analytical. The results of this study are as follows; 1) The factors behind the use of divorce broker services are the distance from the religious court, the lack of understanding of the law, the plaintiff working abroad, and the less than optimal role of mediation that takes place in the family and community. 2) The number of divorce case brokers that affect the mediation process in Satjipto Rahardjo's responsive law perspective does not reflect the eastern culture that always prioritises the values of brotherhood, humanity and deliberation. 3) The solution to minimise the rise of divorce case brokers is to optimise the role of the Office of Religious Affairs which is closer to the community so that it becomes a place for families to complain and optimise advocacy for marriage law. However, the role of divorce case brokers is still considered important if these factors have not been resolved, but mediation needs to be optimised as a first step.

Namun, peran jasa makelar kasus perceraian ini masih dianggap penting jika faktor-faktor tersebut belum terselesaikan, tetapi perlu dioptimalkan terlebih dahulu mediasi sebagai langkah awal.
