The essence of law is to serve justice, not merely to formalize violence. When people come to court, they are not only seeking a verdict, but also demanding true justice. This shows that the role of the court is to deliver justice, not just to apply the law rigidly. A judge cannot simply be the "mouthpiece of the law" (la bouche de la loi). He must be able to explore and embody the sense of justice that exists in society in each of his decisions. This study examines how judges decide the amount of iddah and mut'ah alimony for divorced wives, a crucial issue in the realization of justice. The aim is to analyze the judges' considerations in determining the amount of alimony, as well as to explore its epistemological basis in the philosophy of justice. Using a qualitative normative-empirical research method, it was found that there are at least seven factors that judges consider. However, when all these factors are present in a single case, judges must be wise in prioritizing the interests of the wife or husband. This requires wisdom and prudence from judges so that the verdict truly reflects a sense of justice for both parties
