Under the revised law, people who have sex outside of marriage or cohabit can be reported to the police - but only by immediate family members.

SINGAPORE: Indonesia’s new laws criminalising premarital sex and cohabitation cannot be broadly enforced due to the sheer population size of the world’s third largest democracy, said an analyst.

“This law provides an avenue for extortion, for ... parents with LGBT children want them to be so-called normal. They can use this in revenge or to raise their anger against their own children,” he said. The punishment for premarital sex will be a maximum of one year in jail or a fine of 10 million rupiah . Cohabitation will bring six months’ imprisonment or a fine of 10 million rupiah.Some marriages are not recognised in the eyes of the law, such as customary marriages or other unions facing bureaucratic or religious issues, Mr Harsono said.
