The Harmonious Wedding Portrait of Marcell Siahaan and Rima Melati, Who Were Different Religions for 3 Years

It has been 16 years since Marcell Siahaan and Rima Melati Adams have sailed the ship of marriage. During that time, this couple has almost never been hit by negative gossip.

However, it turns out that Marcell says his marriage is not as easy as it looks from the outside. Especially during the first 3 years, because at that time Marcell and Rima were still in a marriage with different religions.

After 16 years together, Marcell finally revealed that the early days of his marriage to Rima were not easy. He shared this while being a guest on Sandiaga Uno's podcast recently.

"Being married from 2009 to 2012, I eventually decided to convert to Islam; it was a struggle, quite a lot of pressure because we were married across religions and so on," said Marcell.

After careful consideration, Marcell then decided to convert to Islam. "(The pressure) strengthened me like this is the last one. There was a pull to remain as a Buddhist but this is the path that must be taken in this life. I feel like there is a duty that needs to be fulfilled when becoming a Muslim," he said.

Marcell has now been a Muslim for 13 years. His marriage to Rima has become lighter because they share the same beliefs under one roof.
