Ida Nerina, Sha'arin now divorced, court rules

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian actress Ida Nerina Hussain and former Blackrose drummer Sha’arin Mohd Razali are officially divorced, the Syariah Lower Court has ruled.

According to a source, the couple divorced on "talak satu" after agreeing to end their four-year marriage amicably, mStar reported Tuesday.

"Sha'arin uttered the divorce declaration with 'talak satu' at 10am on Monday, during the court proceedings before Syarie judge Mohd Suhaili Rosdi," the source said.

The divorce application was made under Section 47 of the Islamic Family Law (Federal Territories) Act 1984. Syarie lawyer Akbardin Abdul Kader stood as counsel for Ida, famous for her roles in Susuk and Anak, while Sha’arin was represented by syarie lawyer Hamzah Abdul Latif.

The couple married on June 2, 2006. It was the second marriage for both Ida and Sha’arin.

They do not have any children, but Sha’arin has two children - Narissa, 14, and Arman, eight - from his first marriage.

The divorce took place six months after the same court ruled that they were still married, when it rejected their earlier divorce application, where they claimed they had uttered the divorce proclamation outside the court.

The divorce application was filed by Sha’arin who claimed that he had uttered the divorce proclamation on Ida on Sept 22, last year, which was the second day of Hari Raya Aidilfitri, at about 11am, in their bedroom at home in Metropolitan Square, Damansara Perdana.

However, on July 1, Syarie judge Mohd Yunus Mohamad Zin ruled that they couple was still husband and wife after Sha’arin failed to prove his claim.
