When he heard about Wina’s financial difficulties, the 46-year-old state-owned company employee offered his assistance. “He will sell his house in Lampung \[in Sumatra\] and will use the money to help me,” she [said](http://regional.kompas.com/read/2015/05/13/17322631/Alasan.Wina.Pilih.Pria.asal.Lampung.untuk.Beli.Rumah.dan.Menikahinya). Wina [put](http://time.com/3738528/house-indonesia-wife/) her two-bedroom, two-bathroom house, which comes with a fish pond and spacious backyard, in Sleman, in Yogyakarta province, up for sale two months ago. The asking price was around $76,500\. Her online ad went viral, thanks to the tagline: ‘Buy the house and marry the owner at the same time.’ Redi said that he had already planned to move to Yogyakarta to be closer with his children, who go to university there. “Whether with Wina or somebody else, I will still live in Yogya,” Redi [told](http://regional.kompas.com/read/2015/05/14/19260651/Siap.Beli.Rumah.dan.Menikah.Redi.Mengaku.Sudah.Dekat.dengan.Anak.Wina?utm%5Fcampaign=popread&utm%5Fmedium=bp&utm%5Fsource=news) _Kompas_. The pair have yet to meet in person, but they have been talking on the phone and exchanging text messages daily, and will meet face to face soon. “The plan is, we will go on _umrah_ \[minor pilgrimage to Mecca\],” Wina said. “If everything goes smoothly, we will get married next month.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3859852/woman-sells-house-herself-finds-husband-marriage-indonesia-wina-lia/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3859852/woman-sells-house-herself-finds-husband-marriage-indonesia-wina-lia/"},"headline":"Woman Who Offered Herself Along With Her House Finds a Buyer (and Husband)","datePublished":"2015-05-15T07:28:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:19:49.806Z","description":"The asking price was $76,500","url":"https://time.com/3859852/woman-sells-house-herself-finds-husband-marriage-indonesia-wina-lia/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Marriage","house","indonesia","World"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb9ad63d140dac2f2/6987efd2a988ca46fb6b0a83/465945280.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Yenni Kwok","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/yenni-kwok/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb9ad63d140dac2f2/6987efd2a988ca46fb6b0a83/465945280.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"For sale: House (and wife) in Indonesia","caption":"For sale: House (and wife) in Indonesia","creditText":"Anadolu Agency—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3859852/woman-sells-house-herself-finds-husband-marriage-indonesia-wina-lia/","name":"Woman Who Offered Herself Along With Her House Finds a Buyer (and Husband)"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The Most Common Mistakes Home Sellers Make","description":"Zillow CEO Spencer Rascoff talks about the most common mistakes home sellers make when they are listing their houses.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/HXlpdeMm/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-02-26T20:54:55.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/HXlpdeMm.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3859852/woman-sells-house-herself-finds-husband-marriage-indonesia-wina-lia/","duration":"PT59S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3859852/woman-sells-house-herself-finds-husband-marriage-indonesia-wina-lia/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
