When you have lots of money, what would you do ? In Indonesia, the moslem man could have more than one wife. Usually, they said that they want to help release the burden of poverty of this lady and family. Why he should marry her instead giving her a job ?
The most spectacular happened and became a headline news everywhere. A rich man 50 years old name Syeh Puji proposed a young girl 12 years old, Ulfa. Many people said it is wrong, very wrong. She is not ready to take care of a husband and builda family, even to give birth of a child. The motive of the family of course money. Syeh Puji persuade them that she will become the president director of his company ( He has huge business of calligraphy). Ulfa itself will become his second wife. People from association of children Indonesia soon approach him to send her back to her family. But when you already claimed as someone wife, is not polite to send her back. It will break her pride and her family’s name.
But think about it that 12 years old. Elementary school who only know playing and having fun. If he want to help her ad her family why he should marry her ? It feels like something wrong. This child of course crying and affraid when she has to send it back by Syeh Puji to her family. What others would tell about her ? Well, everything should be think first before took action. Syeh Puji itself try to cooperate because he is affraid that it will affect his business.
From this sad story, many things happen when money talks in Indonesia. You can do anything and you can have anything. Many people on Indonesia want to go out from poverty and the shortcut can happen when you have a daughter. Usually they will become second, third of forth wive.
It was so embarrassing for Indonesian woman, how this can be happening. Many Indonesian woman has become an intellect woman, become an important people, and many of them even take care of their family and become the head of the family.
