The story went viral on social media and attracted public attention. Siti Marbiah's legal representative, Jallas Boang Manalu, stated that his client indeed does not have any children. Siti Marbiah then adopted AY as her own child when he was two years old. "Like any normal child, even though he is an adopted child, he is treated as if he were her own. He was educated until college and now he is already working," said Jallas, as quoted from infosumsel.id, Wednesday, November 8, 2023.

However, lately the relationship between Siti Marbia and her adopted child has not been harmonious. The initial cause of the conflict was that Siti advised AY, who wanted to get married for the fourth time. However, AY did not accept the advice and expelled her adoptive mother from the house. As a result, Siti Marbia had to stay with relatives and neighbors for eight months. Several parties have helped mediate, witnessed by Siti Marbiah's extended family and government and police elements.
