Rude Awakening: Indonesian Woman Finds Herself Tricked When Groom Was Not A 'Guy'

A woman from Indonesia received a rude awakening ten months after marrying her 'husband.' During the strange encounter, the woman discovered that the groom was not a guy. The woman claimed she met her 'husband' on a dating app and learned that he was a surgeon who also owned a business. The pair married in a secret ceremony after romance, and the bride was relocated away from her family.

The woman, who goes by the initials NA in court filings, claims she met her partner on a dating platform and quickly learned that he or she was a surgeon. The AA initials were presumably used to identify the partner, as per a Times Now report. 

According to reports, things deteriorated once the couple relocated to South Sumatra, and the groom began pestering the bride's family for money on a regular basis. The bride said that her 'husband' defrauded her family of Rs 15 lakh, according to an article in The Mirror. She also noted that the individual was unable to present any documentation necessary for a legitimate marriage. As a result, they had to marry in secret. When the bride learned the truth, she was confined to the house. The new bride from the island nation claims that her 'husband,' who she found was actually a woman ten months after their marriage, tricked her.

AA claimed to be a guy, a professional surgeon, and the owner of a successful coal company. Following their courtship, the couple married in a private ceremony. NA moved away from her family to her new home not long after that.

However, shortly after the couple relocated to South Sumatra, the groom began harassing the bride's family for financial assistance.

NA alleged in a Mirror report that AA defrauded her and her family out of £16,537 (Rs 15.7 lakh).

AA went on to say that her partner couldn't present any documentation for a legitimate marriage when she appeared in Indonesia's Jambi District Court.

The woman said that her partner planned a secret wedding,' which is a term used in Indonesia to describe unregistered marriages. She claimed AA chose this option because he was unable to furnish the civil documents required to register a marriage.
