JABAR - The Cianjur Regency Government (Pemkab) confirmed that same-sex marriage in Pakuon Village, Sukaresmi District, was not registered at the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA). The Regent of Cianjur Regency, Herman Suherman, said this because it was done under the hands of alias siri. "This must be a lesson if you want to get married, you have to be official and registered at the KUA according to the names and addresses of the two prospective brides and grooms not to marry in an unregistered marriage. This same-sex marriage occurs because the parents of the woman do not know that their prospective in-laws are also women," he said in Cianjur, Monday, December 11, confiscated by Antara. In fact, he said, 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 wedding, but the person concerned could not fulfill it. So that both of them chose to marry siri in front of the family of the bride 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. "Before marriage, the head of the local KUA has given advice to his family not to marry his child to someone who does not have an identity because the family does not know that his future son-in-law is a woman, not an expert," he said. Herman added that AY alias Ahdiyati has now been secured at the Sukaresmi Police, because it is related to a debt with a resident of Pakuwon Village, where the person concerned borrowed Rp 57 million for the wedding fee. "We will involve religious leaders to intensify socialization related to marriage, it must be officially registered at the local KUA and residents are more observant when they get a future son-in-law whose identity is not clear, it is better to reject it," he said.

Meanwhile, Dayat (60), IH's biological father, said that the disclosure of his daughter-in-law AY's identity was a woman when she was about to take care of the administration of her child's marriage to the Sukaresmi KUA Office, where after being forced by AY to hand over an ID card whose gender was listed as a woman. "I felt cheated and cheated by both of them, because my son said that AY would be her future husband, but when I asked for his ID card to take care of the letter to KUA, it turned out to be a gender written by a woman," he said. Even before, said Dayat, he and his family had been suspicious and had rejected the wishes of his son and AY because they were suspicious of his figure who looked more like a woman even though he claimed to be a man with the status of a bachelor from Kalimantan.
