Brilio.net - Yusril Ihza Mahendra's household has recently attracted the attention of netizens. Who would have thought, quite a few people were curious about the woman Yusril married in 2006. Netizens' curiosity was expressed in short questions, which filled the comments column of posts by the former Minister of State Secretary for the 2004-2007 period.

The husband and wife are in the spotlight because of their large age gap. Yusril and his wife are known to have an age difference of around 27 years. Now they have lived together for approximately 18 years.

During those dozen years, Yusril's wife never demanded that her husband hold a government position. In fact, when he married her in 2006, Yusril Ihza Mahendra served as State Secretary during President SBY's administration. Yusril explained that his wife had faithfully accompanied him all this time.

"Since then (serving as state secretary), it's been more than 17 years since I had anything. My wife is still loyal to me. I'm sure she married me because of her conscience and love, not because of my position. Not also because of wealth. Her father's family is in "Japanese are not poor people, and neither is his mother's family in the Philippines," explained Yusril in a reply to a comment, quoted by brilio.net on Monday (13/5).
