Punishing Adultery, Malaysian style

The Malaysian press has reported an adulterous couple were fined four buffaloes and a pig after being found guilty of an extra-marital affair. The report said the pair were convicted by the Native Court in Penampang, Borneo, after the man's wife lodged a complaint last year. The court heard from the man's wife who claimed she found the couple only partially dressed in sarongs and shorts. The court rejected a claim from the adulterous couple that they were simply friends, and imposed the animal fine, worth around US$1,900.

The pair were convicted under customary local laws.
