JAKARTA - The controversy between Inara Rusli and Virgoun has now entered a new, more emotional phase, namely the fight for children. Inara's party claims that Virgoun has hindered Inara's efforts to be able to return with her children.
Inara Rusli's lawyer, Daru Quthny, recounted an incident of a failed pick-up.
"A few weeks ago... came to Inara's house, came to V's (Virgoun) house... but it was forbidden to bring it," he said in South Jakarta, Wednesday, February 4.
According to Daru, the main reason why the Virgoun party detained the children was because the legal case that was trapping Inara was not yet complete.
"The reason is because he sees that Inara's case is not yet complete," he explained.
The Virgoun party seemed to give a condition that Inara first solve the problem, then the children could return.
"It is considered that if this case is still ongoing, the suspicion is that his mother cannot fulfill her obligations," continued Daru.
However, Inara's party strongly rejected the reason. Another lawyer, Herlina, emphasized that the custody of children that had been decided by the court could not be interfered with.
"In fact, the court's decision and it has been in force in cassation, the child is held in custody with his mother," said Herlina.
He added that the ongoing case does not necessarily take away Inara's rights as a mother.
"This case is not... not hindering her as a mother," he said.
The Inara party suspects that there are other interests behind the detention of these children. They question why children's problems should be linked to the legal cases Inara is facing.
Efforts to mediate through the Child Protection Commission have also been taken, but the Virgoun party is said to be absent.
