While she might carry the persona of a modern mother, Indonesian pop diva Krisdayanti is actually quite conservative when it comes to her teenage daughter's affairs. The 39-year-old singer hopes that her 16-year-old daughter, Titania Aurelia, will focus on completing her studies first instead of thinking about getting married young. "Furthermore, I don't want her to lose her teenage years by getting married early," she said at an event in Mutiara Damansara recently. Titania, the songbird's child from a previous marriage to Anang Hermansyah, has reportedly expressed her wish to get married young in social media. She had posted photos of herself and her boyfriend on Instagram during a holiday.
