JAKARTA - Shocking news came from the entertainment world in the country. Raisa officially sued for divorce from her husband, Hamish Daud at the South Jakarta Religious Court.

This information was confirmed by the Public Relations of the South Jakarta Religious Court, Abid MH who said that the lawsuit had been officially registered on October 22, 2025, with the inaugural trial scheduled for November 3, 2025.

Previously, the household of this harmonious couple had become a public conversation after rumors emerged that their relationship was not doing well.

This news certainly makes the public wonder, what actually makes couples who look harmonious can decide to separate?

Although each relationship has its unique dynamics, Hannah Goldstein, Osbornes Law's Lawyer & Family Legal Consultant said the reason for divorce is often rooted in the same things.

The divorce legal process may seem simpler now, but the decision to actually do so and face its impact remains a tough and considerationful thing," Hannah said, quoted by Osbornes Law.

Here are the 6 most common reasons that often cause couples, including those who look perfect in the eyes of the public and choose a farewell.

1. Infidelity

Uncertainty, both physically and emotionally, is still the main cause of divorce around the world. When one party is known to be in a relationship with another person, trust that becomes the foundation of marriage can collapse instantly.

Although the perpetrators have an affair, they may regret and apologize, inner wounds due to betrayal are often difficult to heal. Infidelity is the most reason in filing for divorce.

2. Lack of Connection and commitment

Love stories in films often describe differences in making relationships more colorful. But in reality, a long-lasting marriage requires equal values, vision, and a strong commitment.

"Couples need to have a meeting of their minds, understanding and goals in order to survive in a long-term relationship," said Goldstein.

A large survey in the United States found that more than 73% of divorced couples called the lack of commitment the main cause. Without trying to understand each other, even strong love can fade slowly.

3. Financial issues

Money is not everything, but differences in how to manage money can be a big trigger in relationships. Around 1 in 10 couples choose to separate because they often fight over finances.

The source of the problem is not just a lack of money, but a difference in principles. Some are wasteful, but some are excessive. But some are too controlling to feel limited. When the financial condition decreases, this difference can be sharper and trigger major conflicts.

4. Bad communication

Without healthy communication, no matter how strong a relationship can waver. Repeated quarrels, the habit of harboring problems to small lies can accumulate and cause emotional distance.

"The lack of communication gives rise to a chain effect, from mismatch, neglect, to hatred and revenge," said Goldstein.

Some couples may be able to fix it through counseling or therapy. However, if communication is completely deadlocked, divorce is often the only realistic solution.

5. Loss of direction

After years together, the couple can feel like two foreigners who live under one roof.

This phenomenon is often seen when children are adults and leave their homes, a phase known as an empty nest syndrome.

For some couples, this is a moment to get back close. But for some, that's precisely when they realized that their relationship had long lost its way and chose to divorce.

6. Violence and abuse

Not all forms of domestic violence are clearly visible. Apart from physical violence, there is also manipulative emotional, verbal, and control, such as limiting behavior or controlling a partner's finances.

"If you become a victim of domestic violence, it is important to seek immediate legal assistance. A family court can issue a protection order to keep you safe." said Goldstein.

In cases like this, divorce is not just an option, but an act of saving yourself for the safety and mental health of the victim.
