Jail for beating one of 107 wives
A 74-year-old Indonesian with 107 wives has 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. A local police chief was quoted as saying that the husband, Abdurahman, was guilty of torturing Tariah, his second wife.
