Asri Welas' Husband Speaks Out Regarding Religion Change and Polygamy Issues Amid Divorce Process

Kapanlagi.com - Galiech Ridha Rahardja speaks out regarding the issues circulating during his divorce process with Asri Welas. The recent issue that has emerged is the allegation that he has converted to another religion, which is said to be the trigger for the breakdown of his marriage.

"Yes, I have heard a lot about it in the media and some on YouTube as well. I would like to clarify it here too," said Galiech when met at the Religious Court (PA) in Depok on Tuesday (17/12/2024).

Galiech firmly denied the allegations of converting to another religion. He emphasized that until now he still practices Islam, as he has believed since birth.

"First, there are those who say that I have converted to another religion. That is clearly a hoax because until now I am still born as a follower of Islam, Alhamdulillah," asserted Galiech.

In addition to the issue of converting religions, Galiech also responded to rumors about a second marriage. He strongly denied the accusations and asserted that he has only ever been married once, namely to Asri Welas.

"Then I was said to be getting married again, oh I can check the data. I have only been married once to Ms. Asri," he said.

The rumors of polygamy that have also spread in public were denied by him. According to Galiech, the news is completely untrue and lacks strong evidence.

"Then I (was said to be) polygamous, that's also not true at all. You can check if you don't believe it. I only married once to Ms. Asri. So the things that lead in that direction I can say are not true," Galiech emphasized.

2. An Incident Four Years Ago

On that occasion, Galiech Ridha Rahardja added that there was an incident four years ago that surprised him and Asri Welas. However, he chose not to disclose the details to the public.

"Yes, it's okay, right? Everyone immediately thinks, if the answer is diplomatic like this, they will definitely ask, Why? What happened? That's definitely reasonable, people will surely find it normal," he said.

"Well, if it's not economic, then divorce or a third party. It must be connected to that, right? The incident four years ago that surprised me and maybe Ms. Asri too. Only I and Ms. Asri know about it," he concluded.
