Indonesia Pleasure Marriage: Often when we go out somewhere, we hire guides to tell us about the place, but there is a country in the world where wives are given to tourists. Tourists keep the woman of their choice as their wife for some time and divorce her after the trip is over.
A new practice is emerging in Indonesia, which is being called 'pleasure marriage' or Nikah Muttah. Under this practice, girls between 17 to 25 years of age enter into 'contract marriage' with foreign tourists. After this she remains the tourist's wife until his journey ends.
During this time the girl obeys her temporary husband like a married woman. Recently, a 50-year-old man married a 17-year-old girl in a hotel, for which he gave $850 as dowry. A few days after the marriage, the young man divorced her and went to Saudi Arabia.
Let us tell you that such marriages have now taken the form of an industry in the hilly area of Puncak, Indonesia. Local people call it 'divorced village', where girls are joining this business due to financial constraints due to such marriages.
According to the information received, brokers and agents who promote this practice are also active, who work to introduce girls to tourists. The agent introduces the tourists to the girl, arranges the marriage, takes his share and then leaves. However, the practice is controversial in Indonesia, and government laws consider it illegal, but it is not prosecuted in practice.
