An Indian woman recently filed for divorce from her husband of just 40 days. She claimed that her husband only showered once or twice per month. The unnamed woman from Agra, in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, went to a local family counseling center to complain about her husband's poor personal hygiene. She said that her husband rarely bathed, wore dirty clothes and suffered from bad breath. She could barely stand near the man, let alone be intimate with him. As a result, after only 40 days of marriage, the wife asked for a divorce.[1]

When questioned by the counseling center, the husband, Rajash, admitted that he only bathes once or twice a month and cleans himself by sprinkling Gangajal water (holy water from the Ganges river) once a week. One counselor at a family center in Agra told reporters that the young couple began getting into heated arguments about the husband's hygiene a few weeks after the wedding. Finally, the wife left their household and returned to live with her family. Soon, her family filed a dowry harassment complaint at the local Police Station and asked for a divorce. The abused wife said that Rajash had bathed 6 times in the last 40 days, a little more than usual, but only because she insisted. Hearing the wife's decision to divorce him, the husband promised to improve his hygiene and even bathe every day, but the woman's family said that he did not want to reconcile with her.[2]

As strange as it may sound, this is not the first time a couple's poor hygiene has led to divorce.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "Due to Low Sales Product, Tupperware Files for Bankruptcy", "Be Careful Using AI, You Will be in Trouble for Citing Non-existent Jurisprudence", you may read also "5 Most Bizarre Court Cases in US History" and on this occasion we will discuss about '4 Big Companies That Went Bankrupt in Indonesia'.

Running a business does require careful calculations. If not, any company of any size could go bankrupt. In the past, there were a number of giant companies present in Indonesia. But unfortunately, the company did not last long because it went bankrupt due to a number of reasons. One of the factors that caused a company to go bankrupt was due to large debts. Apart from that, there are several other causes that cause businesses to close down.[1]

So, what are the big companies that went bankrupt in Indonesia?[2]

1. PT. Sariwangi Agricultural Estate Agency (SAEA). PT Sariwangi Agricultural Estate Agency (SAEA) is a tea company that has been established since 1973. This company, which is famous for its tea bag products, was declared bankrupt in 2018. Sariwangi was declared bankrupt because he was unable to pay the credit installments owed to Bank ICBC Indonesia. It is known that Sariwangi's total debt to ICBC Bank at that time reached US$ 20,505,166 or around IDR. 316 billion. Unilever itself only bought the Sariwangi brand, not the company, in 1989. Even though it is the holder of the Sariwangi brand, Unilever still sources supplies from SAEA.
2. Nyonya Meneer. Nyonya Meneer is a well-known herbal medicine company in Indonesia. Even though her business is already big, unfortunately, Nyonya Meneer was declared bankrupt by the Semarang District Court (PN) in 2017. There are a number of factors that cause Nyonya Meneer's business to falter, ranging from internal disputes in the successor family, a very large debt burden, to a lack of innovation in its products. On June 8 2015, the Postponement of Debt Payment Obligations (PKPU) between debtors and 35 creditors was declared valid by a judge at the Semarang Commercial Court. In this case, Hendrianto Bambang Santoso, who is one of the creditors from Sukoharjo, is suing Nyonya Meneer for bankruptcy because she did not settle the debt according to the peace proposal. Hendrianto only received IDR 118 million of the total debt of IDR 7.04 billion.
3. 7-Eleven. For young people in Jakarta, of course they are familiar with 7-Eleven or often called 'Sevel'. This convenience store was very famous in the 2010s because it served various foods and drinks, one of which was Slurpee. But unfortunately, Sevel did not last long in Indonesia. In 2017, 7-Eleven was officially declared bankrupt. The subsidiary of PT Modern Internasional Tbk (MDRN) closed all Sevel outlets in Indonesia. The main reason is because of the large operational costs that must be incurred.
4. Kodak. For those of you who love photography, you are certainly familiar with this brand. Kodak has been around since 1892 and is one of the pioneers in the photography industry. Unfortunately, Kodak's big name had to disappear because it was officially declared bankrupt in 2012. Kodak was unable to compete with competitors who offered digital products amidst very rapid technological advances. Apart from that, Kodak is also reluctant to innovate for its business in order to make a profit.
