Indonesian jailed for beating one of 107 wives
April 3, 2007

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.:wow:

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.

6. You know the Bible does not condemn poligamy.

Or slavery.

But modern society sure does.
