JAKARTA, May 1 (UPI) -- A married man on death row in Indonesia for the 2002 Bali bombings has been cleared to remarry his ex-wife, authorities say.

The convicted terrorist bomber, who goes by the single name Amrozi, is facing a death sentence for murdering 202 people. However, the Indonesian government has approved his request to remarry his first wife, Siti Rohma, whom he divorced in 1987 after two years of marriage, PerthNow reported Thursday.

Amrozi, 45, who is still married to his second wife, Astuti, who he wed in 1988, will not be allowed a honeymoon or conjugal visit following the marriage ceremony, reportedly set for May 12, Jukarta officials have said. The ex-couple have a 20-year-old son.

The wedding ceremony is to take place in a visiting room of the Batu prison on Nusa Kambangan island where Amrozi and the other two Bali terrorists are incarcerated.
