Facts, Fiction, Celebrity

During my holidays in Indonesia, often feel forced to look to hot gossip programs on TV that showed the case of divorce among Indonesian celebrities a.o. the present cases of Gusti Randa and Nia Paramita or between the Cendana family and in the past the case of Bang Haji Rhoma Irama and Angel Lelga.

Marriage is supposed to be something which is holy and it can only be done once in a life time. Some couples have a long life marriage not only because the love that they still have with each other, but it is also because of the sense of togetherness and it is because of the tradition.

However, some couples are totally different from the first one, these couples once they thought that their marriage cannot be ork out anymore and if both of them are strong headed, they will think that the best way to settle the problem is by getting divorce or even once the think that they do not love each other anymore, they will just get a divorce. Last mentioned type of couples happened mostly on celebrity.

Celebrity divorce is very common in ‘tinseltown’. I think it has even arrived at a point wherein divorce is actually a norm. Some couples are even worse because they want to get a divorce in order for publicity or to promote their movie.

They do not think of what will happen to the child, all that they want is to get divorce because they cant cope with each other. It has became a trend in Indonesia that the celebrities are getting divorce without thinking of the consequences. Some even divorce without giving reasons. It seems that they can just go to Pengadilan Agama to get a permission for divorce whenever they want. I am wondering on how many celebrities can the judges in that court meet through out these time.

Is marriage becoming an easy thing to do and the holiness of marriage has gone for a long time? It is true that divorce happened mostly in western country but that Indonesian celebrity still live in Indonesia which can be said as one of the conventional country in Asia, then they are supposed to act in that way ie they should show a good value to their fans. Alot of celebrities, after they have divorced from their spouses, they will date another person.


Marriage, nowadays seem to be something that once you want it to be done then you do it but once u do not want it anymore, you will just throw it away. Of course, all these celebrities, will show their pity faces on what are the problems that they are facing now in order to get attention for public.
