This study explores village officials’ involvement as justice brokers in divorce proceedings and their accompaniment of women during the process. Research was conducted through direct observation of courtroom proceedings, interviews, and document mapping. Two important points are noted. First, when initiating divorce proceedings, village officials tend to become involved as justice brokers to ensure the rapid conclusion of the process.

Women’s autonomy in making legal decisions is influenced by the involvement of these justice brokers, who are perceived as having access to legal knowledge and possessing connections within the legal system.
