The discussion will be divided into three sessions. The first session nominates Armansyah, Lc. to present a paper titled Ta'dilu l-maddati 43 min qanuni z-zawaji raqm 1 lisanati 1974  wa atsaruhu tijaha tathbiqi sy-syari’ati l-islamiyyah fi l-mahakimi sy-syar’iyyah (The Effects of Changes in Article 43 of Law No. 1/1974 by the Constitutional Court in the application of Islamic law in Religious Court)
