Jakarta - A 74-year-old Indonesian with 107 wives has reportedly been jailed for beating one of them in front of three others - because he suspected she had been unfaithful.
The victim recounted the crime to police on Muslim-majority Indonesia's main island of Java, the Koran Tempo newspaper said.
A local police chief was quoted as saying that the husband, Abdurahman, was guilty of torturing Tariah, his second wife.
Islam permits up to four wives and polygamy is thought to be widespread in Indonesia. Only four of Abdurahman's wives were still living with him.
He said he had 41 children and "countless grandchildren", according to the newspaper.
“the Koran Tempo newspaper”
-!
I am in sitting here with an Indonesian friend. He is ROTFLOL! We’re speculating how this fool could even remember the name of wife #2, since he had so many others, too. He could be one village all by himself!
FWIW, the word “koran” in bahasa Indonesia means “newspaper”, and doesn’t specifically mean the Quran.
How would you like to have his Saturday to-do list?
“We’re speculating how this fool could even remember the name of wife #2, since he had so many others, too.”
I was going to comment on that too, also the allegations of infidelity by ‘wife #2’ (how many wives did he have?), then that ‘Koran Tempo’ thing just stumped me.
It must be great to live under Sharia!
Maybe I should write a song ;D!
Every thing about Islamic belief is repugnant.
Wonder what the other three names numbers are.
The Indonesian word "Koran" means "newspaper" in English.
