An Indonesian groom has discovered that his bride is actually a man twelve days after their wedding.
The 26-year-old man named only as AK met his spouse Adinda Kanza, also 26, on Instagram in 2023 and the pair dated in person for a year after hitting it off online.
During their in-person meetings, Adinda wore a traditional Muslim niqab that covered her entire face – which AK reportedly took as a sign for her devotion to Islam.
The couple decided to get married and opted for a small ceremony at AK’s home after Adinda told him that she no longer had any family.
But AK grew suspicious of his new wife soon after tying the knot on April 12, since she avoided intimacy by telling him she was on her period or feeling unwell, according to the South China Morning Post.
AK said Adinda refused to speak to his family and continued wearing her niqab at home, so he tracked down her former address 12 days after their wedding – and was surprised to find her parents alive and well there.
Adinda’s parents revealed that AK’s wife was actually a man, identified as ESH, who started crossdressing in 2020.
