Brilio.net/en - Some marriages last forever, others simply dont. But for Efendi Saputra, 40, and Heniyati, 25, it may have been doomed from the start. Efendi took spousal deception to a whole new level!

Just three months into their marriage, Heniyati discovered something about her husband that would leave her scarred for the rest of her life. She had not married the 40-year-old Efendi, who courted her for months, but Suwarti, a woman!

Suspicions first began on their wedding day, when Heniyati noticed that Efendi had refused to consummate their marriage. She would wonder what the reason was behind it and after three months, Heniyati opened his wallet and noticed that an womans identity card with her husbands picture and the female name Suwarti on it. The jig was up.

Roleplay

Starting at the end of 2015, Suwarti had assumed a fake identity, cutting her hair short and pretending to be a male police officer. She then met and dated Heniyati for six months before getting hitched.

Now, Suwarti is now being questioned by police and will be charged with fraud and document falsification. Yup, she faked all her documents to get the marriage license!

My family and I were deceived, Heniyati told the media.

We feel so embarrassed.

At least the truth came out sooner rather than later.
