  • Cleric already married to girl, 12
  • "Plans to wed others aged seven and nine"
  • Defends act - says wife has reached puberty
INDONESIAN police are investigating a wealthy Muslim cleric who married a 12-year-old girl and is reportedly planning to wed others aged seven and nine, a spokesman said today.

Pujiono Cahyo Widiyanto, a 43-year-old businessman and cleric from the Central Java city of Semarang, has courted nationwide controversy over his decision to marry the girl, who comes from a poor family.

Mr Widiyanto has defended the marriage, which is his second, saying the girl had already reached puberty.

"We are investigating the case. We are now gathering witnesses and then we'll look for evidence on what laws the man might have broken, and we'll follow up from there," national police spokesman Abubakar Nataprawira said.

The Jakarta Post daily reported Mr Widiyanto could be charged under a 2002 child protection law for forcing or trading a child into sex and for marrying below the legal minimum age of 16.


Mr Widiyanto has been backed by some high-profile Muslim figures, including Hilman Rosyad Syihab, the deputy head of the Islam-based Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), according to the Detikcom online news service.

Islam allows for marriage regardless of whether a girl has reached sexual maturity, Mr Syihab was quoted as saying.

"It is not a problem under Islamic law," Mr Syihab said.

Detikcom also said Mr Widiyanto is planning to marry two more girls aged seven and nine.

Nearly 90 per cent of Indonesia's 234 million people are Muslim, most of whom practise a moderate strain of the religion.

Man tells wife to find him a second wife
Furious when second woman already married
Beats and threatens to kills own wife

A 57-YEAR-old Malaysian Muslim man assaulted his wife and threatened to shoot her after she failed to secure him a young second wife, news reports said today.

Mohamad Haris Daud, a local police chief in Kuantan in central Pahang state, said the man forced his 60-year-old wife to seek the consent of a woman in her 30s to be his second wife.

The frightened wife then went to the woman's house but found out that she was already married, he said.

"After she told her husband that the woman was married, he ran amok and started beating her and threatened to cut her with a machete'', Chief Mohamad was quoted as saying by the Malay-language Utusan Malaysia newspaper.

I question the defense behind it. His original 12yo wife probably hasn't completed puberty, and there is little to no doubt that a 7yo wouldn't have either.

As for this being "discrimination" he is the one doing it, not us. If it was a Catholic/Anglican/Buddhist/Islamic/Whatever man considering/attempting the same actions, it would still make news because the action is wrong no matter what

Agree completely with the above. This isn't about Islam; this is an issue of child protection. If the man was Atheist, Jewish, Taoist etc it would not matter. Why is it that assumingly intelligent students on this forum who practice the Islamic faith instantly become irrational as soon as it is mentioned that an Islamic person is committing a crime? It is disgusting and if you attempt to defend it then you must be also fooling yourself in the process, unless of course you too are sick
