Court orders lovers to pay fine with buffaloes and pig
8:24pm Sunday 31st January 2010
A Malaysian court ordered two lovers to pay a fine of four buffaloes and a pig after they were found guilty of having an illicit affair.
The Star newspaper said the Native Court in Penampang district on Borneo island ruled that the man and woman must compensate their communities with the animals for their tryst.
They were also fined 1,000 ringgit (300 US dollars) each.
The man’s wife filed a complaint last year after finding her husband in shorts and her colleague in a sarong at the man’s second home.
The court rejected their claim that they were just “best friends”.
