Love Falls Apart, House Falls Down! Divorcing Couple Tears Down Home They Built Together
A divorcing couple in Central Java demolished their shared home using a bulldozer rather than resolve a property dispute, after the wife's affair further strained their already rocky relationship.
Love falls apart, house falls down! An Indonesian couple's divorce negotiations have collapsed to the point where they hired a bulldozer to demolish the home they once shared through thick and thin. A husband and wife in Central Java, Indonesia, experienced a rocky relationship after the wife was suspected of seeing another man before their divorce proceedings could be completed. Ultimately, both decided to tear down the house they had built together. According to reports, the land is registered under the wife's name, but the house is considered joint marital property. Originally, both intended to keep the house for their child, but problems arose when the wife secretly accepted a marriage proposal from a new man, further straining their relationship. They then agreed to demolish the house to resolve the dispute. Local authorities confirmed that the wife filed for divorce and that the demolition was a mutual decision by both parties. Before beginning the demolition, the homeowners had already removed all valuable belongings.
