This is the man’s second wife ~ he ran an Islamic school and picked one of the kids from it for his ‘wife’. But the Indonesian court did not buy his ‘Muhammad did it’ line and put an end to his child molesting days.
Pujiono Cahyo Widiyanto, 45, from the Central Java city of Semarang, sparked nationwide controversy over his decision to marry poor village girl Lutfiana Ulfa. “We recommend six years prison for him. He has been proven legally as being sexually abusive towards women, especially towards this underage person,” prosecutor Suningsih, who goes by one name, said. “As the owner of a religious school he doesn’t set a good example,” she said.
Widiyanto, also known as Sheikh Puji, married Ulfa in August 2008. Indonesian law has harsh penalties for paedophilia, but unregistered and therefore unofficial marriages between older men and under-age girls are common in rural areas.

VIDEO: Sexually Molesting Young Boys in Islam

Video: Imam caught sexually groping boy in mosque during prayers back in August.
The video is not related to the story below, though it appears to be systemic, Afghanistan’s dancing boys notwithstanding. These accused devout Muslims teach “Islamic lessons” at the centre.
It is a brutal story involving 12 children, and includes allegations that dogs were allegedly set upon victims.
The accused were arrested, charged, and ordered to hand in their passports, and are now out on bail.

Abuse of temporary marriage flourishes in Iraq
Temporary marriage is one way in which sexual immorality is cloaked with respectability in the Islamic world by those who scoff at the West’s alleged immorality. Even the ridiculously anti-free speech, politically correct and thoroughly compromised NPR was able to run this story, so the abuse must be widespread. “Abuse Of Temporary Marriages Flourishes In Iraq.” by Kelly McEvers for NPR, October 19:
The practice of temporary marriage has long been common in Shiite Muslim communities, especially in Iran. The idea is that rather than having an affair, a man who wants to be sexually involved with a woman should marry her — for a few months, or even, hours — so the relationship will be legitimate.
In Iraq, the practice was banned under Saddam Hussein but then flourished after the American invasion. Now, though, some men are using the system to take advantage of poor women, and many of Iraq’s Shiites say the very religious institutions that sanction such marriages are to blame.
One mother of three, who is so ashamed about what happened to her she doesn’t want to give her name, says her husband abandoned her when she found out he preferred men. She had no way to support the family.
A religious figure in her neighborhood promised to help. He brought her to his home, locked the door and had sex with her. He offered her $15.
For the man at least, it was a brief moment of muta’a, the Arabic word for pleasure — and the Arabic word for temporary marriage.
The woman says the man who had sex with her worked with leading Shiite religious clerics in the Iraqi city of Najaf. It’s one of the most revered places in Shiite Islam….
Nagham Kadhim runs a women’s rights group in Najaf. She says muta’a marriage is a sensitive subject in the holy city. But she says abuse of the practice is common. “The muta’a marriage happens when there is an economic factor, like when the woman is poor and [does] not have money,” she says through an interpreter. “And the religious institution would offer her those job opportunities, through working for a kindergarten, looking after children. And then she would receive like 100,000 dinars.”
That’s about a $100 a month. Once the women get the job, Kadhim says the institution will host seminars about temporary marriage to convince them the practice is acceptable.
The ‘Right Way’ To Do A Muta’a Marriage
Aqil al Shammari is a religious scholar who works with a handful of leading figures in Iraq’s Shiite community. He explains that muta’a marriage goes all the way back to the Prophet Muhammad, who once told his traveling companions they could purchase a wife with a handful of dates if they were away from their regular wives.
Shammari says he has temporarily married at least five women, while traveling. Each time, he says, he paid them. He made sure they used birth control. He kept his agreement to be married for only a month. And he didn’t do anything to sully their reputations afterward….
And there you have it: voila, no immorality, and he and others like him can maintain their posture of moral superiority over the West.
