Got this off Netscape news: I've read much of the Kuran, and what the man claims is true. Under Muslem law he, nor his wives. did no wrong.
SINGAPORE (Reuters) -- Three Singaporean Muslim women, all married to the same man, were sentenced to jail for persuading some of his under-age daughters to have sex with him, court documents showed on Thursday.
The man, who has 10 wives and 64 children, was sentenced to 32 years in prison and 24 strokes of the cane in April 2006 after he was found guilty of raping five of his under-age daughters.
The case has shocked many Singaporeans, both for the crimes committed and the unusual living arrangements depicted in the court papers.
One of the wives was sentenced to nine years in jail after she coaxed her own daughter and two other under-age girls in the family to have sex with the man, court documents showed.
"She was the cook in the family," the court papers said, adding that "she was also responsible for managing the fair and equal treatment of intimacy" between the man and 10 wives.
The other two women, who each persuaded one of their own daughters to sleep with the man, both received three-year terms.
"They participated in the sordid conspiracy by actively persuading their daughters into submitting to the sexual violations," District Judge Shaiffudin Saruwan said in the documents.
The man, citing the Koran, had told his wives and daughters that he had complete ownership over his children, including the right to have sex with his daughters, the papers showed.
The wives then acted as his messengers, telling their daughters to meet their father in his bedroom whenever he wanted sex over a period of 18 months, according to the court papers, adding that two of the daughters have had abortions.
The eldest daughter, now 17, went to the police in 2005 to report the rapes.
The man, who ran a transportation business, has four legal wives and six contractual wives -- an arrangement whereby a Muslim couple enters into a union for a fixed period. His 33 sons and 31 daughters range in age from about 2 years to 17.
