he story of an Indonesian man Muh who “divorced” his wife two days after their wedding after finding out she is a man has gone viral.
The
two later met in real life and went out for coffee and an unsuspecting
Muh fell in love with Mita whom he described as “beautiful and
graceful.”
After weeks of dating, he proposed to her and she accepted immediately.
The
31-year-old then told his family about his plans to marry Mita. His
parents visited Mita’s house to deliver the dowry, as is customary. The
20 million rupiah ($1,430) offered by his family was considered a
considerable dowry.
The couple married at the Office of Religious Affairs in Kediri District, Indonesia’s Central Java on June 2nd.
Even
though the 25-year-old had most of her face covered on the big day, no
one thought she looked suspicious, as her face cover was traditional for
a bride. Their wedding was attended by religious leaders from around
the region, none of which had any suspicions about the bride’s gender.
Muh
didn’t suspect a thing when he was turned down by his bride on their
wedding night when he tried to consummate their marriage.
However, his suspicions began to rise when the same thing happened on his next attempt.
After the third night passed without any “action”, Muh started doing
some investigation, asking around about his wife, and was shocked to
learn that Mita was actually a man.
It remains unclear how Mita
found out her deception had been found out by her new husband but when
Muh came home to confront her, she had already left.
Enraged, Muh told his family the truth and immediately divorced his “wife”.
Feeling
cheated by the person he had thought his soul mate, he also notified
the police about Mita’s deception and accused her of being a fraud.
Police
quickly found and arrested the 25-year-old, who turned out to be a man
named Adi. It’s unclear if he will have to face charges, or what
punishment he stands to receive.
Muh and Mita’s marriage broke the record for the shortest union ever recorded in Indonesia’s West Lombok region
