Kapanlagi.com - The divorce case of Baim Wong and Paula Verhoeven is increasingly drawing public attention. Especially after the Women's Commission responded to Paula's report. However, Baim Wong's lawyer, Fahmi Bachmid, issued a stern warning regarding the institution's stance.
Fahmi reminded the Women's Commission to be careful in taking action and not to interfere with the ongoing legal process. He emphasized that the Women's Commission should not interfere in the considerations of the panel of judges.
"Yes, I just remind the Women's Commission to be cautious in taking a stance because this is a case that is still ongoing in the Court," said Fahmi Bachmid during a conversation with media via Zoom, Wednesday (30/4/2025).
"I request not to get involved in matters related to the judges' considerations," he added.
1. Form of Intervention
According to Fahmi, if the National Commission on Violence Against Women evaluates the content of the ruling, it could be considered a form of intervention against the independence of the judiciary.
"If there are indeed issues related to everything that has been reported and related to the judge's considerations, I ask you to be careful in entering this matter because you could interfere," said Fahmi.
He added that if there are objections to the content of the ruling, the appropriate channel is through legal efforts, not reporting to various parties.
"So please be careful because this relates to the judge's considerations; if the judge's considerations are objectionable, legal efforts should be taken, not reporting to various places," he emphasized.
2. Focus on Legal Process
Fahmi's statement responds to the situation after copies of the ruling and personal recordings allegedly belonging to Baim and Paula spread on social media and triggered public reactions. Baim Wong's legal counsel emphasized that they choose to focus on the legal process and avoid statements that could provoke public opinion.
They also requested all parties to respect the ongoing court process and not to worsen the situation.
