Personal life Maroeto was born in Cirebon on 26 December 1906 into a pamong praja (native civil service) family. His father, Sukirman, was a Mantri Pengairan, an official responsible for managing irrigation for rice fields at the subdistrict level, while his grandfather, Nitisastro, had served as an assistant wedana. Maroeto attended the HIS (equivalent to primary school) in Kebonbaru, before continuing his studies at a MULO school in Purwokerto, as there was no institution equivalent to a junior high school in Cirebon. He then pursued an education equivalent to senior high school at the AMS-A in Yogyakarta. After graduating from the AMS, Maroeto continued his education at the law college, the RHS, in Jakarta.
