> Muninggar Sri Saraswati, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta

> Unknown to many, the Supreme Court is mulling

> deposit some Rp 500 million (about US$50,000) before
> marrying
> Indonesian female citizens.
> The idea was recommended during a recent Supreme

> But according to a document studied at the meeting,

> "In a bid to protect women, the state of Egypt

> The Supreme Court may likely follow up on the idea

> The recommendation by the male-dominated Supreme

> More problems usually occur later since the

> The non-Indonesian husband and children are then
