Shocking! Wife Suddenly Finds Out Her Husband Is A Woman After Refusing To Consummate Their Marriage

An Indonesian wife has received the shock of her life after discovering her supposed husband is actually a  man.

Dailymail reports that a woman simply identified as Heniyati from Indonesia happily tied the knot in a ceremony on Java island with her “husband” Suwarti, but months later found out that she had been deceived.

Suwarti who allegedly posed as a man in order to get married was arrested after the shocked wife discovered the deception and alerted authorities, police said.

While in police custody, 40-year-old Suwarti admitted to the deception and could face up to 7 years in prison for falsifying her identity, local chief detective Muhamad Kariri stated.

Kariri added: ”All Suwarti would say is that she had been disappointed by a previous marriage, from which she had a 17-year-old child.”

“She falsified all the documents for the marriage… My family and I were deceived. We feel so embarrassed,” Heniyati narrated.

When the two met, Suwarti gave herself the male name Muhamad Efendi Saputra and lied she was a police officer.

The pair got married late last year in their home district of Boyolali after a couple of months of romance.

At their wedding, Suwarti reportedly even hire people to pretend to be her male alter ego’s relatives at their wedding.

Kariri added that after several months, 25-year-old Heniyati finally discovered an identity card in Suwarti’s wallet showing who she really was, which led to his arrest.

Society in Muslim-majority Indonesia, particularly in rural areas, remains deeply conservative, and the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community often face discrimination and a lack of acceptance.
