JAKARTA - Efforts to make Andre Taulany's son a witness in the divorce process met firm rejection, not only from Andre's side, but also from the panel of judges who presided over the trial.
Fahmi Bachmid, as the legal team, explained that the court officially prohibited and ordered the child out of the courtroom.
Fahmi emphasized that the judge's decision was correct and in accordance with applicable legal regulations.
"The judge was rejected, right, he was expelled. Children are not allowed to join the like this," said Fahmi Bachmid in the South Jakarta area, Wednesday, August 6.
"The court prohibits, is rejected, ordered out, it is not allowed," he continued.
According to him, this prohibition applies absolutely in divorce cases, even if the child is considered an adult. Legal rules prohibit biological children from being witnesses in conflicts in the household of their parents.
"Even though the child is already over 17 years old? He is told to leave, he cannot be a witness in a case like this. He can't. The truth is not allowed," he explained.
Fahmi regrets if there are parties who do not understand the basic principles of this law.
"The judge said that you should not be a witness in this case, so please don't bring the child into conflict with his parents to fight his own parents, the logic is that there is no way of thinking like that," he concluded.
