Yurike Sanger is a woman born in Poso, Central Sulawesi. He was born to his father who came from Germany and a mother who was of Manado blood. Yurike spent his childhood in Poso. But he finally moved to Jakarta to continue his upper middle education (SMA). His move triggered Soekarno and Yurike's meeting.

Yurike and Soekarno's meeting took place in 1963 when he was 18 years old. At that time, Yurike was an active member of Barisan Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, a student organization that also welcomed state guests at official celebrations.

At that time, Yurike's job was to actually welcome state guests from the Soviets. At that moment Soekarno was also stunned by Yurike, who by several sources was said to be wearing a kebaya. It was from that meeting that Soekarno began to hate him.

The relationship between Yurike and Soekarno turned out to continue. The two then decided to get married in 1964 and made Yurike, a 19-year-old girl, Soekarno's seventh wife.

During his time as wife of President of the Republic of Indonesia-1, Yurike was indeed different from Soekarno's other wives. He is more active behind the scenes than appearing in public. In addition, the divorce factor also made Yurike's figure not too highlighted.

Divorce that occurred between Soekarno and Yurike occurred at the age of his fourth marriage. In 1967, Soekarno's position was impeached as president due to the heated political situation after the PKI G30S. Due to this condition, Soekarno asked Yurike to divorce him. The request was granted by his wife. In 1968 the two officially divorced religiously.

After the divorce, Yurike finally remarried. She and her husband decided to live in the United States in 1998 with their families.

It should be noted that during his time as Soekarno's wife, Yurike had become a convert. But he finally returned to Christianity after separating from Soekarno.
