This research discusses legal issues experienced by women as wives in Sukahati Village, Bogor, West Java. After marriage, their husbands left and never came back or disappeared. In most cases, they solve the problem by managing of what is colloquially called a "certificate of missing person," as a such kind of administrative legal procedure. However, the process of issuing the certificate is quite time-consuming, causing the wife who is left behind is increasingly experiencing losses, both materially and non-materially. The research discusses the facts how a woman as a wife tries to protect their rights when they were abandoned by their husband and stated legally as a missing person. Using non-doctrinal (empirical) legal research method based on both primary and secondary data, the research concludes that there are still many women as wives who do not understand how to solve problems when they are abandoned by their husbands as missing persons. There is a legal procedure, namely taklik talak, that can be used by women as wives when they experiencing problems with the loss of their husbands. Conceptually, taklik talak is intended to protect the interests of women as wives in a marriage bond.
