Made Jati introduces her Angels to the California Superior Court.
In paragraph 2 Made points out carefully: "...Michael Donnelly has lived with me in Bali, Indonesia since 1987." Actually, of course, we were not just living together; we were married. But apparently she doesn't want to discuss our marriage status.
In fact, for the next twelve months, through dozens of declarations to the court, Made never once acknowledged our marriage. Clearly this would be one of the first questions she would have to answer in a deposition. But Ida Bagus Wikantara advised her to disobey the court orders, leave her children, and return to Indonesia alone.

ULUWATU Boutiques has a lovely marketing story...
I know, I wrote it, and you can read it at the ULUWATU website.
But the true story of Eleven Demons opens the door to a starkly different reality.
Remember the tale of the six blind men who went to see the elephant? No one was completely wrong, yet none were entirely right.
Indonesian law is a lot like that.
“Complex and unusual – a vast and tangled jungle of law,” according to scholars. Indonesian law as written, as applied, and as experienced may all be entirely different.
From the common “prenuptial agreement” scam, through pitfalls of dealing with lawyers and courts, to errors of applying foreign legal concepts to a superficially similar Indonesian legal system, Indonesian Law Advisory gives practical answers when possible, and explores the background of Indonesian law to explain why in so many cases no concrete answers are available.
