Constitutional Court chief justice Anwar Usman will tie the knot with Idayati, the younger sister of President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo, prompting a public debate over whether Anwar should step down to maintain the credibility and integrity of one of the country's most powerful institutions.
Idayati, a 55-year-old mother of three, confirmed the news to Antara on Monday, saying the marriage ceremony would be held on May 26 this year in Surakarta, Central Java and May 28 in Anwar's hometown Sumbawa, West Nusa Tenggara.
“[We were] introduced by a friend back in October," Idayati said.
