3 Indonesians Fall Victim to Chinese Men's Arranged Marriages, Promised Millions in Dowry

YB, a Chinese national, played the role of the groom.

He traveled to Indonesia to marry an Indonesian woman and then bring her back to China.

Additionally, two other women were also planned to be taken to Hong Kong.

Suspect RMM persuaded the victims to agree to become arranged brides with promises of a dowry ranging from 20 million to 25 million rupiah.

She also organized non-procedural marriages in the Grand Pramuka Apartment, which was used as accommodation for the victims.

“To provide context, suspect RMM was previously a victim of arranged marriage herself and is now a perpetrator,” she explained.

Meanwhile, FC alias IA assisted in falsifying the victims' personal and travel documents.

In uncovering this case, investigators seized a number of evidences, including nine mobile phones, original identity documents suspected to be forged, passports, flight tickets, boarding passes, travel documents, and payment receipts.

The three suspects are facing charges under Article 4 and Article 10 of Law Number 21 of 2007.
