During their face-to-face meetings, Adinda wore a traditional Muslim niqab that covered her entire face – which AK reportedly took as a sign of her devotion to Islam.

Adinda’s parents revealed that AK’s wife was actually a man, identified as ESH (pictured), who started cross-dressing in 2020
AK said Adinda refused to talk to his family and continued to wear her niqab at home. So he tracked down her former address twelve days after their wedding – and was surprised to find her parents there alive and well.
Adinda’s parents revealed that AK’s wife was actually a man, identified as ESH, who started cross-dressing in 2020.
They also said they didn’t know their son was in a relationship, let alone married.
Police said Adinda acted like a woman and had a feminine-sounding voice, adding: “If you look at their wedding photos, Adinda looks exactly like a real woman.
“He also has a soft voice and tone, so there was no suspicion that he was a woman.”
ESH has now been arrested by police and told them he planned to marry AK to steal his family’s assets, according to local media reports.
He is facing fraud charges that could land him behind bars for up to four years.
Police suggested that ESH enjoyed posing as a woman while dating men. It was also revealed that the alleged fraudster had previously dated women.
The investigation is ongoing.
