Divorce cases processed in Indonesian Religious Courts remain prevalent. Divorce rates increased by 54% from 2020 to 2021, rising from 291,677 cases to 447,743 cases.

According to the National Commission on Violence Against Women (Komnas Perempuan), this is related to the pandemic and the implementation of community activity restrictions (PPKM), which affected family stress levels.

A survey on household dynamics during the Covid-19 period conducted by Komnas Perempuan from April to May 2020 also concluded that the Covid-19 pandemic led to changes in household workloads and childcare responsibilities.

The most frequent cause of divorce throughout 2021 was ongoing disputes and arguments (lack of harmony), totaling 279,205 cases.

Furthermore, 113,343 divorce cases were attributed to economic reasons. 42,387 divorces occurred because one party left the marriage.

Domestic violence (KDRT) also contributed to divorce, accounting for 4,779 cases. Other factors included alcohol abuse (1,779 cases), apostasy (1,447 cases), and polygamy (893 cases).
