The Bandung Religious Court granted Atalia Praratya's divorce petition against Ridwan Kamil on January 7, 2026, via an electronic hearing. The divorce was agreed amicably without open conflict or third-party involvement, with asset division and child custody settled beforehand. Ridwan Kamil described the separation as the best path after 29 years of marriage.
The divorce ruling for Ridwan Kamil and Atalia Praratya was read electronically by the Bandung Religious Court panel on Wednesday, January 7, 2026. Court spokesperson Ikhwan Sopyan stated the petition was granted based on evidence meeting Article 19 of Government Regulation No. 9 of 1975 and Article 116 of the Islamic Law Compilation. The decision is not yet final, with a 14-day appeal period, and remains private, not publicly disclosed.
Ridwan Kamil's lawyer, Wenda Alwi, explained that joint asset division was voluntarily agreed upon before filing, with no prenuptial agreement. "Regarding joint assets, that has been an agreement since before the petition was filed in the religious court," Wenda said on Thursday, January 8, 2026. The panel acknowledged this agreement and ordered compliance by both parties.
For child custody, Camillia Laetitia Azzahra (Zara) was agreed to be under Atalia's care, while Arkana Aidan Misbach (Arka) is with Ridwan Kamil. Arka was adopted in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic when his parents died, on National Children's Day. Wenda dismissed rumors of Arka being the result of an affair with Aura Kasih, affirming no third-party involvement in the petition.
Ridwan Kamil and Atalia continued communicating via WhatsApp until the morning before the ruling, discussing practical matters like item locations. "This morning they were still exchanging short messages. For example, asking about the location of items, 'Where did you put this item before?'" Wenda said. Ridwan Kamil clarified the divorce is unrelated to the KPK case and apologized for the disturbance. "We both agree that separating amicably is the best path," he wrote. He prioritizes the children's future and wishes the best for Atalia.
