This man, Syekh Puji (43 yo), has just married a 12-year-old girl and is going to marry two more girls, each is younger than 10-year-old …. COME ON!!! This is so outrageous; even more as the police haven’t done anything about it.

Yes, he’s filthy rich and he does his religious duty of giving ‘Zakah’ (i.e. “alms for the poor”, the Islamic principle of giving a percentage of one’s income to charity) every year worth more than USD 100,000, but … this is just absurd! It’s a pedophile in action.

 

 

Here’s his story. He said that he needs another wife to manage his company because his wife no longer wants to take care of it. So, apparently he formed some kind of a committe to find candidates for his wives – yupe, he wants more than 1 new wife. And it seems that all of the candidates are just girls … under-aged ones.

Why wouldn’t he find someone older, like say college students? They’re young, intelligent and hey, if they want to marry someone as old as him, people can just keep their opinions for themselves. These girls would be old enough to make their own decision anyway. Make sense …. But no … Syekh Puji thinks that college students have been “contaminated” by worldly sins and it’s going to be easier to teach young ones.

And then … he uses religious reasons to justify his action, referring to the past prophets who married young girls.

I don’t know much about Islamic teaching, but I do know that a lot of people have been outraged by his action, both Muslims and non-Muslims. So, please, someone, stop this guy!!
