This article examined the problem to reduce divorces outside the court. The Malaysian government has established sanctions for the perpetrators. This research was conducted employing a case study approach with descriptive-analysis method. The results showed that the implementation of divorce sanctions outside the Syariah Subordinate Court of Selangor was less effective in reducing divorces. The high number of divorce cases were found in the country of Selangor, increasing by 71.8% of cases from 2012 to 2017. However, the cases in the West Gombak Syariah Subordinate Court has decreased slightly between 2015 and 2017, indicated by only a few cases were registered. Two factors influenced the implementation of divorce sanctions outside the Syariah Subordinate Court. First, the Selangor Islamic Family Law has regulated the divorce law outside the court in a detailed and clear. Still, the socialization for the public was lacking, and the society took this rule seriously so that the sanction implementation for divorce cases outside the court became a legal solution. Second, the high number of divorce cases found outside the court required a legal policy to impose a legal sanction on the perpetrators. Abstrak: Artikel ini mengkaji masalah untuk mengurangi talak di luar Mahkamah, pemerintah Malaysia telah menetapkan sanksi bagi pelaku. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan pendekatan studi kasus dengan metode deskriptif-analisis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: Pelaksanaan sanksi talak di luar Mahkamah Rendah Syariah Selangor masih kurang efektif dalam mengurangi perceraian. Kasus perceraian ditemukan cukup banyak di negeri Selangor sebanyak 71.8% kasus meningkat dari tegang waktu tahun 2012 hingga 2017 namun kisaran kasus di Mahkamah Rendah Syariah Gombak Barat agak sudah sedikit menurun dari tahun 2015 hingga 2017 hanya ditemukan beberapa kasus yang terdaftar. Faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi pelaksanaan sanksi talak di luar Mahkamah Rendah Syariah Selangor ada dua. Pertama, Enakmen Hukum Keluarga Islam Negeri Selangor telah diatur hukum perceraian di luar mahkamah secara rinci dan jelas, namun masyarakat masih kurang sosialisasi dan mengambil berat terhadap aturan ini sehingga penerapan sanksi atas kasus talak di luar mahkamah muncul sebagai solusi hukumnya. Kedua, banyaknya temuan kasus talak di luar mahkamah mengharuskan adanya kebijakan hukum berupa penjatuhan sanksi hukum bagi pelakunya. Kata Kunci: Efektivitas, Sanksi, Talak, Luar Mahkamah

The article discusses the procedures of filing a plea to execute verdicts on providing māḍiyah maintenance and the effort to implement the verdicts in Syar’iyyah Court Banda Aceh.  The study was conducted with a qualitative approach and the collected data were analyzed with a descriptive-analysis method based on Islamic law perspective. The result shows that the procedure and the legal effort to file an execution toward the verdict related to māḍiyah maintenance in Syar’iyyah Court are distinguished into two types of divorce, i.e. talak divorce and filed divorce. In talak divorce, the execution of the verdict related to maintenance is conducted during the reading of the talak pledge. In the filed divorce, the ex-wife’s lawsuit related to maintenance which is neglected by the ex-husband is entitled to be legally sued through filing a plea on execution. The phases as follows: (1) the ex-wife files a plea of execution to the court, (2) pay the execution cost, (3) aanmaning (a warning to the defendant), (4) the ex-husband and ex-wife comply with the summons by the court, (5) the court establishes executorial beslag (executing confiscation), (6) the court establishes an execution order, (7) an auction. According to the Islamic perspective, the execution of māḍiyah maintenance can be conducted following the ex-wife’s lawsuit to the court. The execution of māḍiyah maintenance can be performed by the court based on the valid provisions of executing māḍiyah maintenance in Syar’iyah Court upon consideration of benefit and expediency principles.
