A: Grand Ayatollah Seyyed Ruhollah Khomeini, of course.
OK, he was not yet a grand ayatollah back then, and she was his lawfully wedded wife. Besides, he really believed in giving other men all the opportunities that he had and one of the first things he did after coming to power was lowering the marriage age for women from 18 to 9. His mother married his father when she was 9, too, so I guess pedophilia runs in the family.
(I am reading his biography by Amir Taheri now, hence the trivia.)
