The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) recorded the highest number of divorce cases in Indonesia in East Java Province. In 2015, divorces in this province reached 87,000 cases. This figure is lower than the previous year's reported 89,000 cases.
Other high numbers of divorce cases occurred in West Java Province with 70,000 divorces and Central Java with 66,000 divorces. Outside of Java, South Sulawesi had divorce figures reaching tens of thousands.
According to BPS, this data was obtained from reports by the Directorate General of Religious Courts of the Supreme Court. For North Kalimantan, the data is zero because administratively it is still combined with East Kalimantan Province.
