Millions of Indonesians may find themselves at risk of jail as the country moves to pass a new sweeping criminal code that would outlaw sex outside marriage

Under the proposed laws, unmarried couples who"live together as a husband and wife" could be jailed for six months or face a maximum fine of 10 million rupiah .

The inclusion of the new power for village chiefs was warranted because"the victim of adultery is also society", politician Teuku Taufiqulhadi told Reuters. Andreas Harsono, senior Indonesia researcher at Human Rights Watch said,"the bill's provisions censoring information about contraception could set back the progress Indonesia has made in recent years to dramatically reduce maternal deaths".

Backward country who would want to go there

INDONESIA HAS GONE MAD!

Sex outside marriage WRONG, but taking bribes GOOD. What a backwards world we live in now

You mean heterosexuals are going to find out what life is like for homosexuals? Oh, the horror

This is 16 th Century law?!

that is the most unenforceable law ever suggested

I have been saying this a while now Indonesian is a corrupt fucked up country

About 10 minutes away from Sharia law.

Can't see it from my joint.

Lol

I like to know how this is going to be enforced.

McnairMira Religious extremism.

How many wives can you have? Asking for a friend....

Fucking religion. Make a bet every government minister would have broken this law time & again.

Marry, then divorce within a few months, then repeat.

A brave country making a stand for decency and morality...words I believe people are starting to forget, as they are so caught up in doing 'whatever feels right'.

They know how to protect their culture and their nation. Unlike us

Indonesia is simply a wart on the world's ass.

Will the new law apply to both sexes or only women like in Brunei?

msmansk why aren't the men being punished by this law? Its men that can't control themselves.

They may practice the wrong religion. At least they are respecting our Creator's command on morality.

Monogamy works best for the human race.

That guy is Obama’s brother.

OMG. Where does that urgency to go back centuries come from?

Shit just got very real..

Why is Asia going backwards

How would they assess this catch people in the act ?

This is absolutely fucken crazy

Oh, those democratic, peaceful Muslims to our immediate north, whatever backward law in line with sharia will they introduce next?

Fornicators on suicide watch

Back to the dark ages.

How diabolical. A step back into the Middle Ages.

Cool. Bit like Gilead

It’s probably a distraction that wont pass legislation. Appeases the religious crazy element for a while, distraction from the fires and corruption.

Does that include Bali?

When I travel I always pick flights that go around Indonesia Its a black hole.

That would put most of Australia in jail.

Bizarre 😣

absolutely baste and redpilled.

Does that rule also apply to tourists. Bali could empty quickly.

Presumably the law will apply to tourists. News from Bali is going to be interesting.

Not content enough with slaughtering the West Papua ppl it seems. Too many arseholes in power globally
