An Indonesian businessman is complaining that polygamy is not so easy. The businessman’s attempt to make polygamy easier was rejected by the Indonesian constitutional court earlier this year.
Polygamy is legal in Indonesia but according to the countries marriage laws the only way that a man can take a second wife is to have it approved in court. To obtain approval the first wife must agree and either must be disabled or be unable to have children.
The businessman’s attempt to change the policy on Polygamy involved arguing that the conditions listed above effectively prevent polygamy and have caused many men to simply avoid registering their second marriages. Which of course means that children from these unregistered marriages could lose their inheritance rights and other benefits.
A telephone stalker obsessed with underwear made a big mistake when a gym opened across the street from the apartment that he shared with his mother.
Paul Kavanagh was caught on film by detectives as he leaned over his London apartment balcony while making calls to the gym’s female receptionists.
This month Kavanagh was sentenced to two and a half years jail. He admitted to making 15,000 or so harassing calls to women asking them questions about their underwear. He’d call posing as a clothing researcher and claim to be gathering marketing data for a retailer.
Kavanagh had been making these calls for 12 years before he was caught. He’d usually start off his conversations with questions about the womens socks and sweaters, but then he would move on to their underwear and make lewd suggestions to his victims.
Judge Peter Testar concluded that Kavanagh had been “making these calls for the purposes of sexual gratification and, I must say to my mind, for the purposes of cruelty.”
The calls were all placed using unregistered pay as you go phones. When Kavanagh was finally caught he was, as stated above, targeting the female staff at the gym by commenting on their clothes and the way they wore their hair.
A Seattle woman recently copped a plea in order to avoid up to 90 days in jail. She’d been charged with registering her dog to vote.
The woman, Jane Balogh, had registered her Australian Shepherd-Terrier mix, Duncan m. McDonald when she put his name on her telephone bill as identification.
She was busted after she sent in an absentee ballot for the dog with a paw print as a signature.
What was she thinking?
On Friday, a Delaware judge ordered a man to wear a T-shirt with the words: “I am a registered sex offender” in bold letters. russell, Teeter, 69, plead guilty to two counts of indecent exposure for twice exposing himself to a 10-year-old girl at his workplace.
Teeter was also was sentenced to 60 days in jail by Superior Court Judge Jan Jurden in Wilmington.
Roberts said he requested the unusual T-shirt punishment because he was concerned about Teeter exposing himself to children at the gardening business he runs with his wife. I think his wife should run her business on her own or else she’s not going to have one once her husband shows up with that T-shirt on.
Teeter had at least 10 prior convictions dating back to 1976 for exposing himself to children and had been diagnosed as a compulsive exhibitionist. Teeter will have to wear the T-shirt at work for 22 months after he gets out of jail. He has 30 days to appeal the sentence.
