A shocking revelation rocked the life of a young Indonesian man who discovered that his spouse of just 12 days was actually a man disguised as a woman. Identified only by his initials, AK, the 26-year-old man sought police assistance upon uncovering the truth about his recent marriage.

According to reports from Indonesian media, AK encountered his purported bride, Adinda Kanza Azzahra, online. Their virtual connection blossomed into a real-life meeting, leading to a whirlwind romance culminating in marriage. Despite some peculiarities noted by AK, such as Adinda's consistent use of veils and hijabs to conceal her face, he remained unaware of her true identity.

Adinda expressed reluctance to formalize their union due to familial circumstances, claiming a lack of close relatives to invite to the ceremony. Despite this, the couple proceeded with a modest wedding officiated by a religious leader in AK's village, with a nominal dowry exchanged.

However, Adinda's evasive behaviour persisted after the marriage, leading AK's family to launch an investigation. Shockingly, they discovered that Adinda's father was alive and revealed that she was, in fact, a man identified as ESH by local newspapers.

ESH's motive allegedly revolved around financial gain, manipulating AK into providing money whenever requested. The perpetrator now faces legal consequences under Article 378 of the Criminal Code, potentially resulting in a four-year prison sentence.

Explaining AK's susceptibility to the deception, authorities noted ESH's convincing feminine appearance when wearing makeup, coupled with a high-pitched voice. Despite the embarrassment and betrayal, AK and his family cooperated with law enforcement to address the situation.
