Jakarta — For Wardatina Mawa, the private breakdown of her marriage to businessman Insanul Fahmi has become a painfully public ordeal, played out in police statements and media headlines. Her quest for resolution now operates on two fronts: the formal legal system, where she has reported her husband and actress Inara Rusli for adultery, and the court of personal morality, where she seeks a direct apology. This pursuit was triggered not only by her own suspicions but by her husband's stunning public confirmation of a secret nikah siri (unregistered religious marriage) with Rusli.
Mawa's journey into the public eye began when she filed an official police report at Polda Metro Jaya on November 22, 2025. She accused both Insanul Fahmi and Inara Rusli of engaging in an adulterous relationship. Determined to substantiate her claims, Mawa did not arrive with mere allegations; she provided investigators with what she described as concrete evidence, including CCTV recordings and digital chat logs. This move signaled her transition from a private spouse dealing with betrayal to a complainant seeking official justice.
Her situation was profoundly complicated just days later when Insanul Fahmi chose to discuss their marital crisis on a public platform. During an appearance on a podcast, Fahmi openly admitted to having undergone a nikah siri with Inara Rusli in August 2025. Perhaps more devastatingly for Mawa, he revealed in that forum that he had misled Rusli about his marital status, claiming he had told her he was "already divorced". This public confession forced the details of Mawa's private life into open scrutiny.
In the wake of this revelation, Wardatina Mawa has had to publicly clarify the true state of her marriage. She firmly denied Fahmi's podcast implications, stating unequivocally that he never issued a talak (Islamic divorce pronouncement) to her before his relationship with Rusli. "I haven't known [about any divorce]. What's important is that he has not issued a talak to me at all," Mawa asserted. She also dismissed Fahmi's other claim that she had given him permission to remarry in 2023.
It is against this backdrop of public humiliation and legal wrangling that Mawa's demand for an apology from Inara Rusli must be understood. For Mawa, the legal case is one matter, but the personal affront requires its own reckoning. She perceives Rusli's silence as a lack of remorse or acknowledgment of the pain caused. "My hope is that... they will admit their wrongdoing and ask for my forgiveness with a truly sincere heart," she expressed, framing the apology as a necessary step for moral closure.
The response from Inara Rusli's camp has been to construct a narrative of parallel victimhood. Her lawyers have publicly apologized "for all that happened" but immediately pivoted to portraying Rusli as the main victim of Fahmi's deceit. They detail how he presented a false single status using an identity card and a written statement, leading Rusli into the nikah siri under false pretenses. This narrative is the foundation of her own fraud report against Fahmi.
Confronted with these two competing victim narratives—her own as the betrayed wife and Rusli's as the deceived girlfriend—Wardatina Mawa has made a definitive decision about her future. Reports indicate that she is moving forward with plans to divorce Insanul Fahmi, closing the door on reconciling their marriage. Her fight is now focused on legal accountability and securing a personal acknowledgment of the harm done.
The scandal, therefore, transcends typical celebrity gossip. It reveals the layered trauma of marital betrayal: the private hurt, the public shame, the complex legal battles, and the elusive search for personal accountability. Wardatina Mawa's path highlights the difficult navigation between seeking justice through official channels and yearning for a simple, human apology that may never come, all while her family's story is dissected in the public square
