Couple’s large age gap draws mixed reactions
The 42-year age gap between the couple sparked a range of responses from Indonesian netizens after the videos went viral.
Some commenters offered light-hearted speculation, including one who suggested the bride may have been previously hurt by someone her age.
Others framed the match as a practical choice, noting that marrying someone financially established could offer greater security.
Amid the humour and debate, several users expressed more supportive views, saying the age difference did not matter so long as the couple were content with their decision and wished them well.
