This study critically examines the existing legal regulations governing divorce suits initiated by wives on the grounds of the husband's failure to provide maintenance, within the Indonesian legal framework. Rooted in the principles of justice, this research seeks to identify discrepancies between current legal provisions and the normative values of fairness, equity, and human dignity, particularly concerning the economic vulnerability of wives post-divorce. Employing a normative legal research methodology, the study analyzes relevant statutory laws, Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh), judicial circulars, and scholarly interpretations to uncover lacunae and inconsistencies. The findings reveal that while Indonesian marriage law acknowledges non-provision of maintenance as a ground for divorce, the practical application and interpretation by courts may not always fully embody the values of justice, potentially leaving wives in precarious financial situations. This research proposes a reconstruction of these regulations, advocating for clearer legal definitions, more robust enforcement mechanisms, and a broader interpretation of maintenance obligations that align with contemporary understandings of gender equality and economic justice. The aim is to ensure that divorce proceedings, particularly those initiated due to non-maintenance, genuinely uphold the principles of justice and protect the rights and well-being of all parties, especially the economically weaker spouse.
