Divorcing if There is a Change in Party!

The Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) has put each of its members under a verbal oath when they come into the party. It is quoted by member Khalid Samad that, "It is a verbal oath. Under the oath, a candidate promises not to sell out the party or hop to another party. If the candidate does it, he will have to divorce his wife." The oath is a must for state and national legislators of this party. Switching parties has become a more frequent event since last years election. When parties lost support in some states, they would bribe people to switch parties. Sharizat Jalil brought a good point when she wondered what happened to the men if their wives were apolitical. Does that mean that the party legislator must convince her, or divorce her? In a weak attempt to justify the oath, legislator Khalid said, "Politics is not a game. It is a serious commitment. We cannot break the people's trust. We put our wives on the line. It is to demonstrate that we do not betray the voters." In sum, does this mean that politics and political face/gain is more important than the wives and families of these legislators?
