Depok. Enraged over reports that a headmaster was physically abusing his teenage wife who was also his student, a mob attacked and torched an Islamic boarding school early on Monday morning.

"Locals were furious when they heard that the head of the pesantren, 40-year-old preacher Fauzan, was said to be abusing MJ, 16 years old, whom he took as his wife through nikah siri two years ago," Sawangan Police chief Comr. Wasimin said on Monday.

Nikah siri refers to the unregistered marriage recognized by Islam. But  Fauzan, head of the school named Mashadul Al Mustatobah, which has about 150 students, was said to have taken MJ as his wife without the consent of her parents.

"The entire family was surprised to find out that she's married to Fauzan," Abudin, MJ's uncle, said according to Metrotv.com. "Strangely, the wedding was not attended by anyone other than the two of them."

According to family members, MJ told her father that Fauzan often physically abused her.

"The case is now being investigated by the Depok Police Women and Children protection unit," Wasimin said, adding that Fauzan is detained at the Depok Police detention center.

The school was empty during the attack as the students were on holiday.

Fully armed police officers were seen securing the school on Monday to prevent further attacks.

"The situation is under control and the locals have calmed down," Wasimin said.
