The wedding took place on Sunday inside of the remote Karang Endah village in South Sumatra province, but sparked national interest whenever a video from the couple's wedding vows went viral on internet social websites.“He stated he was seriously in love. We love one another,” Rohaya told reporters following the wedding. The recording shows the unlikely couple reciting their vows before their relatives and buddies.
Under Indonesian law, the legal age for marriage is nineteen for men and 16 for any lady.
