Jakarta — The ongoing marital scandal involving businessman Insanul Fahmi has taken a new emotional turn as his wife, Wardatina Mawa, publicly demanded a personal apology from actress Inara Rusli. In a tense statement delivered outside the Polda Metro Jaya police station on Thursday, December 4, 2025, Mawa directly accused Rusli of being the "third party" who damaged her marriage. She expressed profound disappointment that, despite submitting what she claims is strong evidence to investigators, not a single word of apology has come from Inara Rusli. "For now, until this moment, not a single word of apology has come from her mouth," Mawa stated, referring to Rusli by her initials.
Mawa's demand is rooted in her assertion that evidence of an affair between her husband and Inara Rusli is clear and undeniable. She revealed that she has provided investigators with various pieces of evidence, including CCTV recordings and chat logs. Her hope, she said, is that this evidence will compel both her husband and Inara Rusli to finally acknowledge their mistakes. "My hope is that with the evidence I have given to the investigators... they will admit their wrongdoing and ask for my forgiveness with a truly sincere heart," Mawa expressed.
Beyond the call for an apology, Wardatina Mawa framed Inara Rusli's actions as having destructive consequences for her family. She argued that Rusli's involvement directly ruptured the sanctity of her marriage to Insanul Fahmi. "I want goodwill from her. Because indirectly, she has already destroyed my marriage," Mawa asserted emphatically. This characterization shifts the focus from a private marital issue to a public narrative of personal betrayal and family disruption caused by an external party.

The scandal first erupted into public view when Wardatina Mawa officially reported both her husband, Insanul Fahmi, and Inara Rusli to the police on November 22, 2025, on allegations of adultery. The case gained further traction when Insanul Fahmi appeared in a public podcast days later, where he admitted to having undergone a nikah siri (an unregistered religious marriage) with Inara Rusli in August 2025. He claimed during that appearance that he had led Rusli to believe he was divorced or in the process of divorcing Mawa.
Inara Rusli's side of the story presents a starkly different narrative, one in which she portrays herself as a victim of deception. Through her legal team, Rusli has stated that Insanul Fahmi consistently presented himself as single from their first meeting in mid-July 2025. Her lawyers claim he showed her an identity card (KTP) listed as "unmarried" and provided a written statement affirming his single status. Based on these representations, Rusli agreed to the nikah siri.
Upon discovering that Insanul Fahmi was still legally married to Wardatina Mawa, Inara Rusli took decisive legal action herself. She filed a police report against Fahmi on December 1, 2025, accusing him of fraud regarding his marital status. Her legal team has been adamant that she was an unaware victim in this situation. "What we need to emphasize is that our client is also a victim of this Insan," stated her lawyer, Andi Taslim.
The situation has left Wardatina Mawa grappling with profound personal betrayal from her husband as well. In subsequent comments, she clarified that Insanul Fahmi never formally divorced her through talak (Islamic divorce pronouncement) before proceeding with Rusli. "Honestly, I also feel deceived," Mawa admitted, separating her sense of betrayal by her husband from her demand for accountability from Inara Rusli. She has since taken steps to end the marriage, with reports indicating she is proceeding with divorce plans.
This complex case, playing out in police stations and the media, touches on themes of trust, deception, and personal responsibility. Wardatina Mawa's public demand for an apology from Inara Rusli is more than a personal plea; it is an attempt to assign moral accountability in a tangled web of relationships. As legal investigations into both the adultery and fraud allegations continue, the human drama of a broken marriage and colliding narratives remains at the forefront of this public scandal.
