Introducing Jakarta’s “polygamy club”CNN: “Abuya, a 72-year-old preacher based in Malaysia, began lecturing on Islam and polygamy in 1968. He set up the company Global Ikhwan in 1997 and it has thousands of members around the world with clubs similar to the one in Jakarta in Europe, the Middle East and North America. The company provides homes, jobs, businesses, schools and medical facilities to its members. While being a polygamist is not compulsory, most people in the company practice it.” Related: Polygamy and Mixed Marriage in Indonesia: Islam and the Marriage Law in the Courts
