Gambling is one of the reasons for divorce among couples in Indonesia. Data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) shows that the number of divorces due to gambling in Indonesia has been steadily increasing over the past five years.

In 2023, there were 1,572 recorded cases of couples divorcing due to gambling. This is the highest number since the Covid-19 pandemic.

Previously, there were 1,947 cases of divorce due to gambling in 2019. This number then dropped drastically to 648 cases in 2020. However, the number of cases has been steadily increasing since then, as shown in the graph.

Based on province, in 2023, the most divorce cases due to gambling occurred in East Java with 415 cases. This was followed by West Java and Central Java with 209 and 143 cases respectively.

It should be noted that the BPS data does not specify the type of gambling that led to the divorce, so the gambling in question could be categorized as both offline and online.

In addition, Siti Aminah, Commissioner of the Indonesian National Commission on Violence Against Women (Komnas Perempuan), stated that gambling and online loans are two factors that worsen household conditions.

“For example, unstable family finances, still recovering from Covid-19, and then falling into online loans or online gambling, will automatically make the household unstable,” said Siti in her statement, as reported by DetikX on Tuesday (18/6/2024).

Online gambling is also cited as a trigger for economic violence against women. Therefore, Siti urged the government to firmly take action and block access to online gambling.
