Ruben Onsu prepares legal action over child custody amid public feud with ex‑wife Sarwendah

Indonesian TV presenter Ruben Onsu is reportedly planning to file a court case to secure custody of his two daughters following his 2024 divorce from former wife Sarwendah. Onsu’s lawyer, Minola Sebayang, said a legal move could be taken as early as next week, aiming to ensure the children can spend time with their father. The dispute has drawn public attention, especially after a video of Onsu hugging his children at Soekarno‑Hatta Airport before departing for Umrah went viral, sparking speculation about the family’s relationship.

Sarwendah recently visited Komnas Perempuan for a consultation, not an official complaint, and the Indonesian Child Protection Agency (KPAI) issued a statement on the custody issue. Social‑media users continue to comment on the emotional airport meeting and on alleged interference by Sarwendah’s new partner. The developments highlight the ongoing personal and legal battle between the former spouses.

Onsu expressed gratitude for being able to see his daughters again, emphasizing his reliance on faith while the legal process unfolds.
