"Dream - A woman with the initials SA (19) in South Halmahera Regency (Halsel), North Maluku (Malut) was forced to marry her father-in-law after the groom named Isra (20) ran away before the wedding day."

Quoted from Haliyora, the groom-to-be bravely fled from the wedding venue when the marriage vows were about to begin. Despite the groom's escape, the wedding ceremony held on Tuesday, August 29, 2023, continued as planned.

The groom was replaced by the father-in-law. This is because both families do not want to be embarrassed. Both families have prepared all the needs for their wedding.

As a result of the incident, the wedding was eventually represented by the father of the groom. SA's sister, Wisto Ahmad, said they only found out that Isra had run away after their family came to the wedding ceremony location.

Wisto admitted that his younger sibling and the groom-to-be have been in a long-term relationship. Isra was even caught entering SA's room when they were still dating. "The woman's family suffered losses amounting to Rp25 million just to prepare our sibling's wedding event," he said.

Although so, Wisto cannot do much, even claiming that he has not thought about the legal measures that will be taken.
