Gina Puspita, leader of the “Klub Taat Suami,” or “Obedient to Husband Club,” says the newly formed group already has about 300 members in several Indonesian cities.

Husein Muhammad, a member of the commission on women’s rights, said Sunday that the club, founded under the Malaysian-based Islamic group Global Ikhwan, would not get support in Indonesia.

The club was launched Saturday night in a ceremony in the capital, Jakarta, attended by about 50 women and their husbands.
