The matter will start at 09:00. I am preparing my 'speech' at 08:45, feeling a bit agigated. My Client has arrived at Court and this makes me feel worse because I have not prepared my 'speech'. Phew, the Interpreter informed that Court will start at 09:15.
Finally, at 09:15 the Judge came in and I was waiting patiently for my turn. At the same time, I tried to learn how the other Counsels speak. My case was No. 5 in the list; I sat at the first row and turned my head to see the Petitioners for the four (4) cases before me and all of sudden I felt that it was such a pity that such a thing happened.
They look young and healthy. They look as though they were married for few years, yet today, they came to Court to have their divorce matter being heard in Court.
What happened to our world now? Young couples getting married, and they divorced not too long after their marriage. One of them even asked for the Decree Nisi to be made absolute there and then as she needs to go back to her country and does not intend to come back to Malaysia.
Marriage is a beautiful arrangement created by God. I am always reluctant to handle divorce cases because I feel that it is against God's intention. Today, when I see these young people standing before the Court, I really wonder whether they really thought about it thoroughly before they sign the Marriage Certificate.
May the Lord bless them in their future undertakings and heal their wound that they have suffered.
