Banyuasin, KOTABARI.COM – A shocking case has unfolded in Banyuasin, where a foster child, identified as AY, has decided to evict her stepmother, Siti Marbiah, from the home that has been her residence since the age of 2. This situation stems from AY’s frustration with Siti Marbiah, who had forbidden her from entering into her fourth marriage.
Mediation efforts were made on Friday (11/3/2023), involving Siti Marbiah’s extended family, as well as local government and law enforcement authorities. However, the mediation ended in failure as AY refused to provide Siti Marbiah with the property certificate. In response to the failed mediation, Siti Marbiah’s representatives are contemplating legal action, both in criminal and civil courts.
Siti Marbiah, who initially adopted AY as her foster child to ensure her needs were met, such as food, drink, and medical care, expresses her deep disappointment with AY’s conduct. She claims that AY not only failed to attend to her basic living needs but also expelled her from their home by locking the gate and house doors.
Siti Marbiah is currently residing with her relatives and plans to revoke the deed of gift and house certificate that was transferred to AY, with the support of her legal counsel.
Rozi, a representative from the local administrative office, revealed that similar cases have occurred previously, often proving difficult to resolve. He hopes the local government can find an appropriate solution for this matter, possibly through a family-oriented approach.
Siti Marbiah, who is currently in a state of distress and homeless, deeply laments the conduct of her foster child, whom she had cared for since the age of 2. According to Siti Marbiah’s legal counsel, Jallas Boang Manalu, Siti Marbiah had treated AY as her biological child, yet AY ultimately chose to evict her.
The case becomes increasingly complex as AY has utilized the sale of the family’s inherited property, causing a dispute between them. AY has also sought to have the property certificate issued in her name. Frustrated by Siti Marbiah’s prohibition on her fourth marriage, AY decided to evict Siti Marbiah.
Siti Marbiah is deeply disappointed and emotional, even resorting to curses directed at AY during a mediation session witnessed by many. This case highlights the complexity of relationships between a foster mother and her foster child and the ongoing difficulties in resolving this matter.
