Same-sex Marriage Victims In Cianjur Accompanied By Psychiatrists

CIANJUR - The Cianjur Regency Government, West Java, provides assistance to families and brides of same-sex marriage victims in Sukaresmi District, including preparing a team of psychiatrists and psychologists to restore their psychology.

Cianjur Regent Herman Suherman said that his party had visited the family of the bride and groom who did not know that her future daughter-in-law was a woman, even the victim's parents had rejected the wedding plan because they were suspicious.

"We will provide assistance to the victim and his family so that they can live a normal life as usual, including providing education to local residents no longer discussing the incident," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, December 12.

The bride will be accompanied by psychiatrists and psychologists to restore her self-confidence and mentality so that she will no longer be involved in problems that had occurred because she was not aware of the status of the male bride who turned out to be the woman.

"This must be a lesson for all people, including those who want to get married must ensure the identity of the candidate, so that same-sex marriage no longer occurs in Cianjur," he said.

Sukaresmi Sub-district Head Latip Ridwan, said the bride was evacuated by her family to her relatives' house in another sub-district after the same-sex marriage went viral on social media because she felt pressured even though the surrounding environment found out that the victim and her family were deceived.

Latip explained that the bride was evacuated so that she could calm down for a while because she was feared to be depressed and depressed if she still lived in her parents' neighborhood.

"Later it will be a bit calm, the local government will provide assistance including providing psychiatrists and psychologists for the mental recovery of victims and their families," said Latip.

Previously reported, the Regent of Cianjur, Herman Suherman, confirmed that same-sex marriage in Pakuon Village, Sukaresmi District, was not registered or officially at the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) because it was carried out under the hands of a alias siri.

The reason is that the Sukaresmi KUA Office several times asked the mantu candidate with the initials AY from Kalimantan, to provide complete data with population administration in accordance with the requirements of the marriage, but the person concerned could not fulfill it.

Therefore, both of them chose to marry siri in front of the family of the bride and groom IH (23), a resident of Pakuwon Village, Sukaresmi District, attended by local figures and residents. However, after a few days when he was about to take care of the marriage certificate to the KUA office, AY could not show his identity card.
