Indonesian lawmakers passed a sweeping new criminal code that criminalizes sex outside marriage

The new code, which also applies to foreign residents and tourists, bans cohabitation before marriage, apostasy, and provides punishments for insulting the president or expressing views counter to the national ideology. “All have agreed to ratify the into law,” said lawmaker Bambang Wuryanto, who led the parliamentary commission in charge of revising the colonial-era code. “The old code belongs to Dutch heritage … and is no longer relevant.

A previous draft of the code was set to be passed in 2019 but the vote was postponed after thousands of protesters, mostly students, took to the streets demanding the government withdraw it. In a televised address at the time, President Joko Widodo said he would delay the vote after “seriously considering feedback from different parties who feel objections on some substantial content of the criminal code.

Indonesian is the new Saudi

GOOD IDEA BUT THE WRONG WAY TO DO IT

Lol i get no bitches either way

Wonder what the abortion laws are ...

Meanwhile we approve abortion without limits.

What's the betting that 90% of those 'convicted' will be female.

Its just when you are cheating on your husband or wife. And your husband or wife report to the police. Or if your daughter fucked up by a fuckboy.

B,S

Ok

Guess Bali vacation is out of the picture for me and loml 🤣😭

Really? Criminalising human nature? Good luck with that. We all know that its still gonna happen

They been selling young girls for pleasure to rotted mouth grown men and calling it marriage for years

This is great news when you compare it to the culture of onlyfans women and lgbtq grooming events.

Republican goal.

Good luck getting tourists to come there now.

Weird law to pass! Is marriage forced in Indonesia? Maybe it’s because it a Muslim country. I’m sure the men won’t be prosecuted!

That'll stop climate change

Who needs freedom.

Shouldn't there be other choices rather than 'like ' ? I mean such as angry, sad...etc

Well this will put a bung in their tourist trade! Indonesia now off the list for my partner and I. However, how will this law affect polygamists?

And some countries go backward...

Bizarre

government has no right to do this... this is antihuman laws

this is inhuman.. even sex before marriage is not allowed...primitive people

The punishment for the sex outside marriage is more sex.

You guys need to stop pretending our culture translates and is supreme around the world.....

Some may see global climate change as a good opportunity for regional national unification, but contrary to this faint hope, nationalism such as unity, ethnicity, and religion is becoming more pronounced. you give me a little time God bless you. Amen

Seeing the recent situation in Ukraine and Taiwan, I get the impression that Indonesia is in a bit of a hurry because it fears a national division. It is not easy to strip away our stereotypes or notions of a nation that have been attached to us for thousands of years.

Question, how are they going to be able to keep track of who does what? Apparently their “big brother is watching” is far ahead of the U.S. Guess they have every room in every building monitored and nothing else in the country to worry about.

Yeah that'll last. Lots of jail time.

Countries are finding out that liberalism is a false ideology
