Infidelity in Indonesia like just about everywhere else is not new and can be very problematic among government officials. I don’t know how much this will change but at least women have a new resource on their side:
Women married to government employees in northern Indonesia will now be allowed direct access to their husbands’ salaries. An official told BBC Newsthat the purpose of the law is to prevent men from cheating on their wives.
Women in Indonesia had previously complained that their husbands only gave them enough money to purchase meals each day, the BBC reported. The women attributed the lack of financial transparency to their husbands being unfaithful.
In the world of politics it was Elizabeth Edwards and more recently Jenny Sanford. Love and marriage gone awry.
