Why can a woman be the head of the family on the Family Card?
23 Februari 2024 20:25
Brilio.net - Every citizen should have a Family Card (KK). If you don't have one, it is highly recommended to immediately take care of it at the local Dukcapil Office. KK is an administrative document that records a family's population data, in the form of full names of family members, place and date of birth, gender, family relationships, marital status and so on.
In the KK there must be an order, starting from the head of the family, wife, and children. Usually the husband acts as head of the family. But this woman is different. The story can be heard via the TikTok video posted by the account @itazukidayly.
The beginning of the story begins with the interest of the woman making the video in learning Japanese . In the learning process, he accidentally found a Japanese man who helped him study. This communication is what bonds the two of them.

As time went by, their relationship became closer, even to a serious stage. Finally, the Indonesian woman and the Japanese man decided to get married. And after getting married they mostly settled in Jakarta. It can be seen from his posts.
Well, their marriage relationship has now been blessed with a child named Hiro Malik Suzuki. The child's name has also been recorded on the Family Card. When the woman showed her family card, this was the moment that surprised netizens.
The reason is, the KK only consists of two people. The woman named Relita Hanafi is listed as the head of the family. Then, why is her husband not included in the KK?
"If I don't marry a foreigner, I don't know if I will be the head of the family," he wrote in the caption.

So this happened because her husband still had the status of a Foreign Citizen (WNA). So he does not have a Population Identification Number to be registered in the Family Card. Indeed, for mixed marriages like this, processing KTP, Family Card and other documents requires quite a lot of conditions.
For KK itself, foreigners must fulfill at least three requirements, namely a permanent residence permit, marriage book or marriage certificate extract, and a moving certificate for residents who move within the territory of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI).
Well, according to the video maker, this year the husband just applied for a KITAP (Permanent Residence Permit Card). KITAP can be given to foreigners or foreigners who are legally married to Indonesian citizens. Now, to obtain this document, as reported on the official website of the Semarang City Government, it is stated that the foreigner has been married to the Indonesian citizen for at least 2 years.
If all of this has been fulfilled, then the husband can be included in the family card and act as head of the family.
This post also went viral and attracted the attention of netizens. Apart from the KK issue, many people are wrongly focused on the names of the children of mixed marriage couples. Apart from that, quite a few netizens also shared similar experiences.
"Same as Sis, at first I was already alone in KK, when I married a foreigner, I changed KK, but I was still alone + head of family in KK," wrote the account @xiao_riu_i
"In the past, I changed from being a foreigner to being an Indonesian citizen so that I wouldn't be a child out of wedlock," said the account @by.vee
"Be patient, the important thing is that the father's name is on the child's birth certificate. It's a struggle, it's sad, you'll never be as good as KK, I'm sorry," said the account @mamironald
"Is your husband's Suzuki automatic or manual, sis," commented the account @tetangga_pak_joko jokingly.
