JAKARTA - The household turmoil of singer Virgoun and Inara Rusli is far from old age. After the divorce decision on November 10, Inara Rusli was found to have royalties on four songs created by Virgoun that were made during their wedding.

Not accepting the decision of the West Jakarta Religious Court, Virgoun Wijayono Hadi Sukrisno's attorney said that his client had appealed to the court.

"Today, November 24, 2023, if we count from Virgoun's decision on November 10, 2023, if the current appeal deadline is 14 days, yes, so earlier we have filed an appeal against the decision (of royalties). We submitted it to the West Jakarta Religious Court, the case was appealed," said Wijayono Hadi Sukrisno at the South Jakarta Metro Police Headquarters, Friday, November 24.

In this case, Wijayono tried to explain the points that objected to Virgoun's decision by the West Jakarta Religious Court, especially regarding the granting of song royalties to Inara Rusli.

"Because there are several things that we disagree with the decision from the West Jakarta Religious Court, there are several things, three or four items. One of them is royalties," continued Wijayono.

This is because according to Virgoun's legal team, legal certainty regarding the granting of royalties is not clear. He felt that the panel of judges made a decision based only on the testimony of expert witnesses.

"Because there is no legal certainty, according to our legal analysis, starting from when we didn't find out, the object was too, the title song also had several wrong things," he concluded.
