A groom discovered his new bride was actually a man 12 days after they married, with police alleging his new ‘wife’ was scamming him.
The Indonesian man, known only as ‘AK’, had been dating his partner Adinda Kanza for a year in person after meeting online.
The couple, both 26, decided to tie the knot and opted for an intimate ceremony at AK’s home in West Java after Kanza told him she “had no family left”.
The newlyweds swiftly moved in together as a married couple, but it did not take long for the groom to grow suspicious of his new wife.
Little did he know, his bride was allegedly in the midst of a sinister plan to steal his family’s assets by pretending to be a woman.
In reality, AK’s new wife had been pretending to be a woman for over a year to carry out the crime, according to police.
Kanza reportedly avoided intimacy on their wedding night by telling him she did not feel well and was menstruating, according to the South China Morning Post.
This continued for almost two weeks before he found out the truth: his new wife was a man pretending to be a woman for financial gain.
AK had absolutely “no idea” that this was the case, as Kanza always wore a traditional Muslim niqab that covered her face during their dates, while her body was also covered.
