Raisya Bawazier is facing a divorce petition filed by her husband, Muhammad Zidan, at the Central Jakarta Religious Court, with court officials and Zidan citing fundamental differences and diverging life backgrounds after roughly eight months of marriage according to court records and interviews reported by Kompas.com and KapanLagi.com.
Divorce Filing and Court Proceedings at Central Jakarta Religious Court
Muhammad Zidan officially registered a divorce petition against Raisya Bawazier on August 21, 2026, under case number 1440/Pdt.G/2026/PA.JP, according to Ira Puspita Sari, a spokesperson for the Central Jakarta Religious Court cited by Kompas.com. The initial hearing took place on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, at the Central Jakarta Religious Court. Zidan attended the session in person, while Raisya did not appear. Zidan stated to reporters that he viewed her absence neutrally and assumed it stemmed from court notification procedures. Due to her non-appearance, the presiding panel postponed the proceedings to a later date, as detailed by KapanLagi.com.
Differing Lifestyles and Financial Realities
Speaking to media outlets outside the courthouse after the hearing, Zidan explained that the separation stems from a lack of mutual compatibility and diverging viewpoints from the outset of their relationship. According to statements reported by Kompas.com and KapanLagi.com, Zidan highlighted differing life backgrounds, noting that Raisya is accustomed to living in Jakarta while he comes from outside the capital, which contributed to distinct perspectives and a misalignment in vision and mission. Addressing financial rumors on social media, Zidan rejected claims regarding inadequate spousal support or third-party interference, telling reporters that financial contributions exceeded Rp30 million per month and noting that allegations require concrete proof, as reported by Kompas.com. Zidan also acknowledged income disparities tied to his background as a regional small-and-medium enterprise operator.
Prior Communication and Separation Status
Zidan confirmed that he and Raisya have lived in separate residences for an extended period, though he did not specify an exact timeline for the split, according to coverage from the primary source. Before filing the paperwork, Zidan and his legal counsel maintained open lines of communication with Raisya regarding the state of their marriage, as reported by Kompas.com. Zidan accepted responsibility for the outcome, telling reporters that his wife is doing well and suggesting that he shoulders a degree of fault for how the marriage unfolded. KapanLagi.com noted that Zidan expressed a wish for Raisya to find a better path forward as the legal process moves through the religious court system.
