Meanwhile, a coalition of some of the nation's biggest activist groups, including Komnas Perempuan, Friday welcomed a Supreme Court ruling that a district head in West Java can be impeached after reports that he took a 17-year-old as a second wife last year and divorced her several days later in a text message.
The National Commission on Violence Against Women, an independent organization also known as Komnas Perempuan, said more than 100, 000 cases of violence against women are documented each year in Indonesia and more than 4, 000 rapes were reported in 2011, though it said the actual number of rapes is likely eight to 10 times higher.
