A Hindu ceremony did take place, but at our home in Sanur in 1994, not in Kuta in 1996 as Made claimed in her Accusation of Divorce, or Tabanan in 1996 as in the documents she used to obtain her Marriage Certificate in 1996.
Made and her family asked me to take part in the Hindu marriage ceremony as a reaffirmation of our 1985 California marriage. They did not tell me that they planned to use it to prepare new false marriage documents and cancel our California marriage.
Before the Hindu marriage ceremony was a Hindu Sudiwudani or baptism ceremony, which Made's family explained as necessary before the marriage. It took place in the morning, and the marriage ceremony in the afternoon.

I know, I wrote it, and you can read it at the ULUWATU website.
But the true story of Eleven Demons opens the door to a starkly different reality.
Remember the tale of the six blind men who went to see the elephant? No one was completely wrong, yet none were entirely right.
Indonesian law is a lot like that.
“Complex and unusual – a vast and tangled jungle of law,” according to scholars. Indonesian law as written, as applied, and as experienced may all be entirely different.
From the common “prenuptial agreement” scam, through pitfalls of dealing with lawyers and courts, to errors of applying foreign legal concepts to a superficially similar Indonesian legal system, Indonesian Law Advisory gives practical answers when possible, and explores the background of Indonesian law to explain why in so many cases no concrete answers are available.
