Living Apart Together. Cross-border marriage, Riau Islands style

Abstract

"He's everything to me. Because when I'm with him, I'm respectable. I'm a success now (jadi orang). Before I was scum, always being taunted by people, being laughed at, being sneered at because of my work, my immoral work. That's why I'm so grateful - truly grateful - to have my husband". Former Indonesian sex worker, Ani.
