Mariana is 41 years old, and her husband Kevin – 16. Although the couple is 25 years apart, the bride said that after the wedding, the boy had grown up significantly. Interestingly, the initiator of the engagement turned out to be the teenager’s mother, who wanted to help her friend overcome the trauma of the last relationship.
They barely met, and two months later they were already married
Mariana and Kevin got engaged after only two months of dating. Interestingly, the initiator of the wedding was the mother of a 16-year-old boy. According to the foreign press, she allegedly wanted to console her friend who was in a bad mental state after the last breakup. So the woman came up with the idea that only a new relationship could help her. She asked her 16-year-old son to marry Mariana. Initially, the boy was supposed to react with a lot of surprise, but eventually agreed to marry a woman 25 years older than him.
The controversy around marriage continues
The wedding ceremony took place on July 30 in the Indonesian regency of Sambas, after only two months of trying for the bride’s hand. The couple quickly gained a lot of popularity on social media. Over time, speculations also began to appear about the fact that the marriage would be arranged for money. The 41-year-old is the owner of a chain of grocery stores. The family, however, denies such reports.
However, this is not the end of the obstacles that have appeared on the newlyweds’ new way of life. Like the British “Mirror”, a spokesman for the Indonesian Commission for the Protection of Children in West Kalimantan opposes the marriage. According to him, a boy under the age of 18 should not get married. He even decided to pay the young couple a visit, after which they were told that have to sleep in separate beds. If the investigation into the matter is not dropped, Mariana and Kevin will have to remain a white married couple for two more years.
