Singer Judika Sihotang spoke about facing family disapproval before marrying Duma Riris Silalahi in 2013, according to hot.detik.com. The bride's family opposed the couple during their early courtship.
The initial resistance served as a major test for the couple. Speaking at Studio FYP Trans 7 in Warung Buncit, Jakarta Selatan, Judika detailed how the opposition shaped their resolve, according to hot.detik.com. SuaraGarut.ID also reported on the appearance, confirming the date as Jumat, 13/11/2026.
“Kalau aku mungkin dari mertua. Karena buat aku semua orang juga banyak yang ngalamin yang tidak direstui itu kan alasannya banyak. Dan buat aku ya itulah tantangan hidupku untuk menemukan jodohku,” said Judika Sihotang, as reported by hot.detik.com.
The couple refused to yield to the pressure. SuaraGarut.ID said that Judika viewed the experience as a vital trial of their commitment rather than a reason to separate.
“Jadi itu juga menguji kecintaanku sama dia, apakah dengan tidak direstui langsung aku menyerah dan pilih yang lain misalnya. Tapi ternyata cobaan itu membuktikan cinta kita. Dengan cobaan apa pun, topan badai apa pun, kita tetap kuat bareng-bareng,” said Judika, according to hot.detik.com.
Decade of Marriage and Family Life
More than ten years have passed since the 2013 wedding. The household now includes three children named Cleo, Judeo, and Juandeo, as reported by hot.detik.com.

“Ya sekarang mertua malah sering di rumah dan punya konten sendiri, konten memasak namanya Masakan Opung, Opung Mince. Dan ini sudah banyak juga di-order sama orang masakan Opung. Jadi ya aku sekarang bisa dibilang memang dekat banget sama mertua,” said Judika, according to hot.detik.com.
