The 1960 Sindhi Hindu ceremony produced a valid marriage under Indonesian law because Foreign Orientals non-Chinese were governed by customary law in 1960 and no central civil registration was required; the 8 August 1960 marriage certificate is admissible evidence of that customary marriage; the husband failed to produce decisive evidence of invalidity or of a customary dissolution in or about 1980; the parties have been separated for over two years; accordingly a decree nisi of divorce is granted.
