Public disputes regarding financial support for children born from unregistered marriages (nikah siri) in Indonesia highlight significant legal and social vulnerabilities. Following the birth of a child to Fangfang and Vicky Prasetyo on July 14, 2026, legal representatives have publicly refuted claims of financial support, citing a total absence of contributions toward medical or essential baby care costs.
Discrepancies in Financial Support Claims
The conflict centers on a marked contrast between public statements and documented reality. According to Emmanuel Alvino, the attorney for Fangfang, claims made by Vicky Prasetyo regarding a 50 million rupiah fund for delivery expenses remain unfulfilled. Alvino stated that as of July 16, 2026, no financial support, baby supplies, or diapers had been provided by the father.
Alvino further noted that he personally funded essential items, including a steamer and milk bottles, to support the newborn. “It’s all a lie,” Alvino stated during a virtual interview, characterizing the previous declarations of financial readiness as inconsistent with the situation faced by his client at the hospital.
The Reality of Medical Costs and Birth Support
The delivery, which occurred via cesarean section, was managed without the presence of Vicky Prasetyo. According to the legal team, Fangfang was accompanied only by her mother and immediate family members during the procedure. The financial burden of the medical care was primarily mitigated through state-provided health insurance.
Alvino confirmed that the BPJS (Social Security Agency on Health) covered the bulk of the hospital expenses. The family only paid an additional amount to upgrade the patient to a VIP room, countering reports that suggested substantial private funding was provided for the birth.
Legal and Psychological Implications
Beyond the immediate financial dispute, the case has moved toward potential litigation. Alvino indicated that the legal team is preparing to address allegations of intimidation and verbal insults directed at Fangfang by members of Vicky Prasetyo’s family. The ongoing stress has caused significant psychological strain, though the legal team reports that Fangfang’s physical health is currently improving.
