Police in Saudi Arabia have arrested a man working for the country's vice
squad who is accused of having six wives, two more than allowed under
Islamic law, a newspaper reported on Thursday.

The 56-year-old Saudi, detained in the southwestern province of Jazan near
the border with Yemen, is being questioned over charges that he is married
to three Saudi and three Yemeni women, al-Watan said.

The man is an employee with the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and
Prevention of Vice, or religious police commonly known as the Muttawa, which
is in charge of enforcing a strict Islamic moral code in ultra-conservative
Saudi Arabia.

He has denied the charge, claiming he has divorced two of his spouses, the
newspaper said.

The province's governor has ordered the formation of a committee to look
into the case, al-Watan said.

Muslim men can keep up to four wives at a time under sharia, or Islamic law,
which is applied in oil-rich Saudi Arabia.
