THE divorce of Tun Ghafar Baba and Heryati Abdul Rahman was front-paged by Utusan Malaysia, which quoted Syariah Court Judge Mohd Naim Mokhtar as saying that it was effective from Jan 10.
The judge reportedly said the former deputy prime minister declared a talak of the first-degree (which allows divorced couples to reconcile) against his second wife at about 11.45am on that day, witnessed by two men, as stated in his petition and as required by the syariah.
