A woman claimed that her husband has slept with more than 10 women during their three-year marriage.
Mastura Bakar, 24, told the Lower Syariah Court that her husband, Datuk Muhamad Mustafa Idrus, was never fair in polygamy and was a philanderer.
“He is never fair (in his polygamous marriages) and had affairs with over 10 women at hotels.
“I know him and I’ve contacted all the women that he slept with,” she told the Federal Territory Lower Syariah Court here on Tuesday.
Mastura also claimed that her 54-year-old husband, a Tasek Gelugor Umno committee member who was once married to popular ethnic creative singer Noraniza Idris, often forced her to sleep with him.
She also claimed to have been beaten, slapped and kicked up to eight times when Muhamad Mustafa faced problems or when asked about his relationships with other women.
Muhamad Mustafa allegedly broke things when he found out that Mastura ran away from home and knocked her over with a car once.
“I am depressed and I wish to apply for fasakh (annul the marriage),” she told Judge Mohd Yunus Mohamad Zin.
Mastura told the court that she only found out her status as the fourth wife when she gave birth to her first child.
Muhamad Mustafa was married to three other women including Noraniza.
After two years of marriage, Mastura said her husband did not come home as often.
“Sometimes, he didn’t come back for up to a week. In May 2008, he would drop by for a while and not even spend the night,” she said.
Mastura, who is currently unemployed, claimed that Muhamad Mustafa stopped providing for the family since December 2008.
The couple married on June 3, 2006, in Perak and have three children.
Muhamad Mustafa, who was not present in court, was represented by lawyer Zaidi Ibrahim.
The hearing continues.
