Indonesian Authorties Investigate Muslim Cleric's Marriage To 12 Year Old Girl




Oh boy. This is a guy who LITERALLY follows the words and deeds of mohammed! Indonesia has a law that you can't marry someone under 16 years old so government officials are investigating a supposed marriage between a muslim cleric and a 12 year old girl. The parents supposedly gave consent to her being married.

Here's the brief details from the report at Reuters:



An Indonesian child protection agency is investigating reports of a marriage between a Muslim cleric and a 12-year-old girl, the Jakarta Post newspaper reported on Sunday.
The newspaper said the 43-year-old cleric from Central Java allegedly married the minor girl with her parents' consent in August and planned to marry two more girls, aged seven and nine.

And he plans to take two more wives ages seven and nine???!!! Good grief. You know, the Religion of Peace just keeps the hits coming. It's not enough that islam has purported terrorist attacks across the world now for years and years, that it has seen to it that women are suppressed and tortured, but now, it continues to prey upon the children of the world.

The abuses of women under islam has been well-documented but it wasn't until the last couple of years that we have seen the extent that the minions of Satan have been shown to use children as suicide bombers, mine field guinea pigs and human shields.

I'm not sure what penalty Indonesia has for violating this law about marrying a minor but I certainly have a suggestion.



Indonesia probes reports of Muslim cleric marrying minor

JAKARTA (Reuters) - An Indonesian child protection agency is investigating reports of a marriage between a Muslim cleric and a 12-year-old girl, the Jakarta Post newspaper reported on Sunday.
The newspaper said the 43-year-old cleric from Central Java allegedly married the minor girl with her parents' consent in August and planned to marry two more girls, aged seven and nine.
The government-backed Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI) plans to question the cleric, the girl, her parents, the minister who married them and witnesses of the marriage.
Under the Indonesian law, a woman must be at least 16 years old to marry. Marriage with a minor carries a maximum of five year jail term.
The cleric is a rich businessman who owns a Muslim boarding school in Central Java. He made headlines in local newspapers after donating billions of rupiah to the poor during the fasting month of Ramadan.
His first wife is 26.
