The original photos of the Hindu ceremonies Made entered to the court as evidence were missing from our family files. Made did not destroy the negatives, however, because I kept them in a separate location. I printed them again and found photos for comparison.
Menurut Made, upacara Agama Hindu Sudiwudani dilangsungkan tanggal 25 Mei 1994 di rumah kami di Sanur, dan upacara pernikahan Agama Hindu dilangsungkan tanggal 21 September 1996 di rumahnya di Kuta. Tetapi kalau dua foto ini dibandingkan, jelas bahwa dua-duanya dilangsungkan di Sanur, dan kalau daun dan teduhan di kebun dibandingkan, jelas bahwa upacara Sudiwudani dilangsungkan pagi, dan pernikahan dilangsungkan siang dari hari sama.
Made claimed the Hindu Sudiwudani ceremony happened 25 May 1994 at our home in Sanur, and the Hindu marriage ceremony happened 21 September 1996 at her home in Kuta. But comparing these two photos, it is clear they both happened in Sanur, and comparing the shadows in the garden, it is clear that the Sudiwudani happened in the morning and the marriage in the afternoon of the same day.
Menurut Made Jati, upacara pernikahan Agama Hindu dilangsungkan tahun 1996. Dia mengajukan foto disisi kiri sebagai bukti. Tetapi kalau dibandingkan dengan foto berikutnya di klise sama, Made mengendong Sean yang dilahirkan bulan Maret 1993. Disini di berumu satu tahun, dan Made hamil dengan Brenden. Upacara pernikahan dilangsung awal tahun 1994.
Made claimed that the Hindu marriage ceremony happened in 1996. She entered the photo on the left as evidence. But comparing it with the next photo on the negative roll, Made is holding Sean who was born in March 1993. Here he is one year old, and Made is pregnant with Brenden. The marriage ceremony happened in early 1994.

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.
