Indonesia Criminalises Pre-marital Sex, Co-habitation Of Unmarried Couples by fergie001: 9:39am On Dec 06, 2022 |
Indonesia, the world’s third-largest democracy, cleared a sweeping overhaul of its criminal code on Tuesday, outlawing sex outside of marriage, defamation of the president and sharply expanding its laws against blasphemy. The new rules, which also apply to foreigners in the country, have drawn criticism from human rights activists, businesspeople and students who warned of the risks posed to the L.G.B.T. community and religious minorities. Opponents also said that the rules threatened the global reputation that Indonesia, which has the world’s largest Muslim population, has built as a tolerant, widely secular nation. Indonesian officials say upgrading the existing criminal code, which dates back to 1918 when Indonesia was a Dutch colony, was long overdue. Among the raft of new laws, penalties around consensual sex outside marriage have drawn the most criticism. According to the new law, 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 ($710). Sex outside of marriage, cohabitation and extra-marital affairs are now all illegal acts in Indonesia punishable by jail terms, after the country’s parliament passed controversial revisions to their criminal code.

The bill was passed overwhelmingly by all political parties. However, the code will not come into effect for three years to allow for implementing regulations to be drafted. The new bill in Summary: Sex outside marriage carries a potential one-year prison term though there are restrictions on who can lodge a formal complaint. For example, the parents of children who are cohabitating before marriage have the authority to report them. Blasphemy laws have increased from "one to six provisions" including apostasy - renouncing a religion. For the first time since its independence, Indonesia will make it illegal to persuade someone to be a non-believer. This can now lead to a five-year prison sentence. Ban on insults to the president and vice president, the sitting government as well as state institutions. The ban on unsanctioned public demonstrations could unduly restrict the right to peaceful assembly. 6 Likes |

Law against couples who are not married living together is fine, but outlawing sex outside of marriage is totally not cool... Marriage is not a must... Conji must be cured.

Lol, you can't try this shit in Nigeria, get ready to arrest 80% of our men and women. Naija wey like bleep like anything. Now the rate of masturbation and sale of intimacy gadgets will increase in Indonesia, na who no get vaseline for house get problem, Naira Marleys "Soapy" should be trending in Indonesia at the moment. Just look at laws being passed in this century, it will tell you how backward the nation is, nothing thought provoking, special or progressive. Developing countries will need a long time to catch up to the developed ones. Load of uninspiring fcks everywhere. 38 Likes 2 Shares |

Wow awesome. This is a welcome development. If every country would emulate this the world would be a better place and will help in curbing not just unwanted pregnancy but help identify serious men. As a parent you can now use this to arrest that rasta boy that has been disturbing your daughter. This would seperate players from responsible men. I would love it if it's introduced here in Nigeria. We need this as it will solve alot of issues. 85 Likes 4 Shares |
