Quote:An indigenous man in Malaysia's Sabah state on Borneo Island was fined a buffalo and a pig for breaking a tribal custom by secretly marrying a second wife, a tribal court official said Wednesday.
The 39-year-old man was asked to compensate his first wife and children with a buffalo and a pig even though he agreed to dissolve the second marriage and return to his first wife and family, Kota Kinabalu Native Court chief William Majimbun told The Associated Press.
The court handles cases only relating to laws of the native indigenous people in Sabah.

Imagine if this happened in the US. A bigamist might have to give up say, his IPod, and collection of DVDs.
If he goes back to his first wife then he gets his pig and buffalo back. Such a deal!
