Met by chance as a child, reunited as an adult; it’s fate …
In a shocking incident, a 24-year-old Indonesian woman from Bangka Island discovered that she had attended her husband’s previous marriage as a child. Renata Fadhea took to TikTok to share her unusual discovery and the post went viral with 7.1 million views and so many people commenting their opinions.
Fadhea got married to her husband in 2020 and he is 38 years older than her! She was aware of his divorce that happened back in 2011. But what she discovered later on in life left her shocked. As she was going through her husband’s previous marriage album, Fadhea realized she had attended that wedding at the age of 9! She was a guest at the function as she is a distant relative of her husband with him being her aunt’s nephew. The photograph she shared on TikTok clearly shows the woman as a child and her husband alongside his then-wife.
Yes, people do face unusual twists of fate in life but this is more strange than ever. While the young girl attended the man’s wedding 15 years ago in 2009, they reconnected after a decade in 2019. Fate brought them together as she never imagined, as a child, that she was actually standing beside her future spouse and attending his wedding. While the man has a child from his previous marriage, he also now has a son with Fadhea.
Although Renata Fadhea later confirmed that the couple is pleased to have each other and lead a fulfilling life, her post spurred the Internet and left users eliciting conflicted opinions about the age gap and the early marriage culture in Indonesia.
Another similar incident came to light when Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor got married to 10-year elder Saif Ali Khan. When the B-town couple got married in 2012, their age gap was a matter of discussion on social media platforms. But later people realized that the leading lady of Hindi cinema had also attended her husband’s previous marriage when she was 11. When Saif got married to Amrita Singh in 1991, Kareena had attended the function as a kid and even congratulated the royal Pataudi actor. The Internet was left in shock when the photo of Saif saying “Thank you beta!” to Kareena went viral on social media.
