In a shocking turn of events, an Indonesian groom discovered that his bride was actually a man twelve days after their wedding.
This surprising revelation has not only shocked the groom but also caught the attention of the media and the public.
The couple started their relationship in 2023
The 26-year-old groom, identified only as AK, met his bride, Adinda Kanza, also 26, on Instagram in 2023.
The pair dated in person for a year after hitting it off online.
During their meetings, Adinda was reported to have worn a traditional Muslim niqab, which covered her entire face. AK interpreted this as a sign of her devoutness to Islam.
After more than a year of dating, the two decided to get married
The couple decided to marry, opting for a small ceremony at AK’s home. Adinda told AK that she had no family, making the intimate setting seem appropriate.
The wedding took place on April 12, and AK was initially blissfully unaware of the secrets that lay ahead.
AK was shocked to learn that his wife, Adinda, was a man
Shortly after the wedding, AK began to grow suspicious of his new wife. Adinda avoided intimacy, citing reasons such as being on her period or feeling unwell.
This avoidance raised red flags for AK. Additionally, Adinda refused to interact with AK’s family and continued to wear her niqab even at home.
AK decides to unmask the truth
Determined to uncover the truth, AK tracked down Adinda’s former address twelve days after their wedding. To his astonishment, he found Adinda’s parents alive and well.
They revealed that AK’s wife was actually a man named ESH, who had started crossdressing in 2020. The parents were unaware of ESH’s marriage and relationship with AK.
Adinda committed fraud and wanted to steal AK’s family assets
The police got involved, revealing that ESH behaved convincingly like a woman and had a female-sounding voice.
They said: ‘If you look at their wedding photos, Adinda looks exactly like a real woman.
‘He also has a gentle voice and tone, so there was no suspicion at all about him being a woman.’
Wedding photos and ESH’s gentle demeanor led everyone to believe he was genuinely a woman. ESH has now been arrested and faces fraud charges, with a potential prison sentence of up to four years. According to local media, ESH intended to marry AK to steal his family’s assets.
This case highlights a cautionary tale about the importance of transparency and diligence in personal relationships.
As the investigation continues, AK and his family must face the emotional and legal consequences of this fraudulent marriage.
