Saudis deported from Indonesia
2006-08-03
Indonesian immigration authorities yesterday deported five Saudi men for engaging in short-term marriages, an immigration official said. Yeyet Oking, the head of Bogor district's immigration office, said the five were deported via Jakarta while another man was released for lack of evidence. Short-term marriages usually involve local Islamic clerics blessing unions between foreigners and local popsies women. The couples shack up live together briefly before the men leave to return home. The women are materially compensated when the unions end. The marriages are not recognised by the state.

#2  Yes, but the SubGenius ShortDurMar is even more flexible. It doesn't need a man and a woman, somebody can marry their car if they want to. And their marriages only last an hour, so marrieds are encouraged to consummate ASAP, lest halfway through their consummation it becomes sinful fornication as they are no longer married.

#1  What a delightful practice. The Church of the SubGenius has been doing short term marriages for years...
