MALANG, LITERASIHUKUM.COM — The polemic surrounding the unregistered marriage involving Intan Anggraeni and Erfastino Reynaldi, also known as Rey, in Malang City continues to develop. Intan's family now states that they will report Rey to the Malang City Police for alleged defamation, following a series of statements by Rey that are considered inconsistent with the family's version of the facts.

Intan's family representative, Eko NS, said the report is planned to be filed on Wednesday, April 15, 2026. According to Eko, the family has prepared evidence to support the report. The core of the family's objection is Rey's statement that Intan's family knew from the beginning that he was a woman, as well as allegations that the identity falsification was actually carried out by Intan's side. The family denies these two things.

According to the family, they had no knowledge of Rey's true identity before the unregistered marriage took place. Eko stated that Intan only found out that Rey was a woman on the wedding night, and then told her parents. The family also denies the claim that the identity card used by Rey was edited by Intan. The family's version states that the identity documents, including the ID card photo, were sent by Rey himself, and traces of the file are still stored on Intan's cellphone.

On the other hand, Rey had previously conveyed his version to the public. In his statement, Rey denied the accusations of fraud and identity falsification. He claimed that Intan had known his identity since the beginning of their relationship, and even often came to his house. Rey also stated that he never provided a photocopy of his ID card to be manipulated and said that the circulating document was printed by Intan himself.

This case had previously rolled into the legal realm from Intan's side. On April 8, 2026, Intan reportedly went to the Malang City Police to report alleged fraud and identity falsification after claiming to have only found out Rey's true identity after the unregistered marriage that took place on April 3, 2026. Thus, if the family does file a new report on April 15, this case has the potential to develop into two legal channels at once: alleged fraud/identity falsification and alleged defamation.

This development shows that the case, which initially went viral as a personal relationship issue, is now moving into a more complex legal dispute. The main focus is no longer solely on the unregistered marriage itself, but on what the parties really knew from the beginning, who provided or used the identity, and whether there were public statements that harmed the reputation of one of the parties.
