I guess gender identity is becoming more and more common and is and reported frequently nowadays. And not just celebrities are having such issues, but regular blokes, including married peoples. Here is a case of a woman marrying and man who was actually a woman (apparently, they did not discover this until after the wedding!). So much for laws forbidding premarital sex. At least they would have found out before goinjg through all that social hassle of a formal wedding ceremony and perhaps a costly party as well! I wonder what will happen now? Any laws broken? Religious taboos treaded upon? I suppose they will seek a divorce now, or at least one party might want to, but that begs the question, who'd want to marry a divorcee? Another dilemma after coming out from one problem! What happened to their premarital love? Does it still exist?
Cheers!

WIFE REPORTS 'HUSBAND' TO POLICE FOR BEING A WOMAN

Boyolali, Central Java | Thu, July 14 2016 | 06:50 pm
The marriage of newlyweds Efendi Saputra, 40, and Heniyati, 25, in Boyolali in Central Java has hit the rocks following the discovery that the husband Efendi is actually a woman.
Heniyati discovered the true identity of her husband after three months of marriage.
"She falsified all the documents for the marriage. She changed her name and sex from woman to man. My family and I were deceived. We feel so embarrassed," said the Boyolali resident on Thursday.
The pair met at the end of 2015, she recalled her meeting with Efendi, who claimed to be a single police officer. Heniyati was not suspicious as Efendi's appearance was manly with the short haircut of a police officer. After dating for six months, they agreed to tie the knot.
After they got married, Heniyati began to feel suspicious about her husband as Efendi refused to consummate their marriage. The suspicions lead Heniyati to seek information about her husband until one day she opened Efendi's wallet and found the identity card of a woman named Suwarti. She confronted Efendi who refused to discuss the matter and instead left their house.
Heniyati and her family then reported the case to the police.
Boyolali Police chief Adj. Sr. Cmr Agung Suyono confirmed the report adding that Efendi, aka Suwarti, was in police custody for investigation. Preliminary investigations suggest Suwarti falsified all her personal documents for the marriage license proposal. She also appears to have paid people to pretend to be her family at the wedding, Agung said.
"We are still questioning her to discover the motive for her conduct," he said adding that Suwarti would be charged with fraud and document falsification. (rin)
