JAKARTA - Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta has issued Governor Regulation (Pergub) Number 2 of 2025 concerning Procedures for Provision of Marriage and Divorce Permits for State Civil Apparatus (ASN) within the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government.
This Governor Regulation replaces Governor Decree Number 2799/2004 which is considered irrelevant.
The governor's regulation consists of eight chapters, covering various provisions ranging from reporting marriages, polygamy permits, permits or divorce statements, to the right to income and delegation of authority. Here are some of the main points of the new rules:
In Chapter II, it is stated that married ASNs are required to report their marriage no later than one year after the marriage takes place. Violations of this obligation can be subject to severe disciplinary penalties in accordance with statutory regulations.
This Pergub Polygamy permit also stipulates that male ASN who wish to be polygamous must obtain written permission from the competent authority before marriage. Otherwise, the ASN will be subject to severe disciplinary punishment.
Polygamy permits can only be granted if the ASN meets a number of conditions, including:
- The wife cannot carry out her obligations as a wife. - The wife is physically disabled or cannot be cured. - The wife cannot give birth to offspring after 10 years of marriage. - Receive written approval from the wives or wives. - Have enough income to finance the whole family. -Be able to act fairly towards the wives and children.
However, this permit will not be granted if it is against religious teachings, violates statutory regulations, or the proposed reasons are considered irrational.
Divorce permits for ASN who wish to file for divorce are also required to obtain written permission from an authorized official before registering a divorce suit in court. Acceptable reasons for filing for divorce include:
- One of the parties commits adultery. - One of the parties became your brother, a drug addict, or a gambler who is difficult to heal. - One party leaves a partner for 2 years without a valid reason. - One party was sentenced to 5 years in prison or more after marriage. - Domestic violence that endangers a partner. - Disputes or constant quarrels without hope of reconciliation.
On the other hand, requests for divorce permits can be rejected if they are against religious teachings, do not meet valid reasons, or if the reasons for divorce do not make sense.
With the enactment of this Pergub, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government hopes that ASN can better comply with applicable legal provisions, and maintain harmony in household and professional life.
Violations of this regulation will be subject to severe sanctions, emphasizing the importance of ASN compliance with the new rules.
