BANGKOK: Just months after telling its members to serve their husbands better than prostitutes,
prompting widespread criticism, the Obedient Wives Club of Malaysia has stirred further controversy by
publishing a guide to Islamic sex.
can have sex with all of his wives at the same time.
Under strict Islamic tradition a man can have up to four wives if he can provide for them all.
The club prompted an outcry from women's groups and Islamic religious authorities when it was
established in June, claiming to have 1000 members.
Malaysia's Minister for Women, Family and Community Development, Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, asked
government officials to monitor the club to ensure it would not ''muddle'' the minds of Malaysia's younger
generation. But Ms Shahrizat said the government could not restrict the club's activities, saying ''we are
after all a democratic country''.
Among organisations that condemned the club was the Wanita Malaysian Chinese Association, which
passed a motion describing its advice to women as an insult to their basic human rights.
In its foreword the book says studies showed women only gave their husbands 10 per cent of what men
desired of their wives' bodies. It contains explicit sex details, including fondling of a breast, and one
chapter deals with ''how sex becomes worship''.
The book says sex is sanctioned by God and is intended to make a new life.
''You (God) have said that all these acts are halal, pure, beautiful and like a prayer (between man and
wife),'' it says.
In June the club's vice-president, Dr Rohaya Mohamad, prompted criticism when she advised women to
behave like a ''first-class whore'' while in the company of their husbands if they wanted their marriage to
succeed.
