A young lady who had happily tied the
knot with her “husband” has shockingly
found out that the person she married
was actually a woman.
Suwarti who posed as a woman
The woman simply identified as Heniyati
from Indonesia happily tied the knot with
her “husband” Suwarti, but months later
found out the he was only a woman like
herself.
Suwarti, an Indonesian woman herself,
allegedly posed as a man in order to get
married.
According to Police, she has been arrested
after the shocked wife discovered the
deception.
According to NDTV, Suwarti, who like
many Indonesians goes by one name, was
detained on Thursday after the wife
alerted authorities, several months after
the pair tied the knot in a ceremony on
Java island.
The wife, Heniyati, became suspicious
when her “husband” refused to
consummate the marriage.
Suwarti has admitted to the deception and
could face up to seven years in prison for
falsifying her identity, according to local
chief detective Muhamad Kariri.
“She falsified all the documents for the
marriage… My family and I were deceived.
We feel so embarrassed,”Heniyati, 25, told
the Jakarta Post newspaper
Police said they were still investigating
the reason for Suwarti’s deception.
All Suwarti would say is that she had been
disappointed by a previous marriage, from
which she had a 17-year-old child, Kariri
added.
When they met, 40-year-old Suwarti gave
herself the male name Muhamad Efendi
Saputra and said she was a police officer.
After a whirlwind romance lasting a
couple of months, the pair married late
last year in their home district of Boyolali,
with Suwarti reportedly even hiring people
to pretend to be her male alter ego’s
relatives at their wedding.
After several months of married life,
Heniyati finally discovered an identity
card in Suwarti’s wallet showing who she
really was, said Kariri.
Society in Muslim-majority Indonesia,
particularly in rural areas, remains deeply
conservative, and the lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender community
often face discrimination and a lack of
acceptance.
