The unusual love story between Karman, a former principal in Cirebon and his student named Yuniara or Ara has become a concern on social media. One of the reasons is the age difference of 41 years.
Karman said that his meeting with Yuniara began when Yuniara graduated from the junior high school where Karman worked in 2013. Karman was previously married and had three children and two grandchildren from his first child.
Karman married Yuniara on February 23, 2023. Now the couple has been blessed with a baby. Both of them appear confident and happy in every portrait together, showing a relationship that appears harmonious even though it is often a hot topic of conversation in cyberspace.
Many praised their courage to fight stigma and social views. Many initially thought they were grandfather and grandson because of the striking age difference.

" His grandfather's high school is very close...he must be his favorite grandson ," said the Thunder account.
