- AK dated his future wife Adinda Kanza for a year after meeting on Instagram
An Indonesian groom has discovered that his bride is actually a man twelve days after their wedding.
The 26-year-old named only AK met his wife Adinda Kanza, also 26, on Instagram in 2023 and the couple 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 interpreted as a sign of her devotion to Islam.
The couple decided to get married and opted for a small ceremony at AK’s house after Adinda told her that she no longer had a family.
But AK became suspicious of his new wife shortly after they married on April 12, as she avoided intimacy by telling him she was on her period or feeling unwell, according to the newspaper. South China Morning Post.
An Indonesian groom has discovered that his bride is actually a man twelve days after their wedding. The 26-year-old named only AK (left) met his wife Adinda Kanza, also 26, on Instagram in 2023 and the pair dated in person for a year after hitting it off online.
But AK became suspicious of his new wife shortly after they married on April 12, as she avoided intimacy by telling him she was on her period or feeling unwell, according to the South China Morning Post.
Adinda’s parents revealed that AK’s wife was actually a man, identified as ESH (pictured), who began cross-dressing in 2020.
AK said Adinda refused to speak to her family and continued to wear her niqab at home, so he located her previous address 12 days after their wedding, and was shocked to find her parents alive and well there.
Adinda’s parents revealed that AK’s wife was actually a man, identified as ESH, who began cross-dressing in 2020.
They also said they didn’t know their son was in a relationship, let alone married.
Police said Adinda behaved like a woman and had a feminine-sounding voice, adding: “If you look at her wedding photos, Adinda looks exactly like a real woman.”
“She also has a soft voice and tone, so there was no suspicion that she was a woman.”
ESH has now been arrested by police and told them that he intended to marry AK to steal his family’s assets, according to local media reports.
He faces fraud charges that could put him behind bars for up to four years.
Police suggested ESH liked to pose as a woman while dating men. It was also revealed that the alleged scammer had previously dated women.
The investigation is ongoing.
