Indonesia Bans Sex Outside Marriage

Living together and having sex before marriage could result in jail terms under the sweeping new criminal code.

Indonesian lawmakers unanimously passed a sweeping new criminal code on Tuesday that criminalises sex outside marriage, as part of a tranche of changes that critics say threaten human rights and freedoms in the Southeast Asian country.

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 (draft changes) 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.”

The world’s largest Muslim-majority nation, Indonesia has seen a rise in religious conservatism in recent years.

Strict Islamic laws are already enforced in parts of the country, including the semi-autonomous Aceh province, where alcohol and gambling are banned.

Public floggings also take place in the region for a range of offences including homosexuality and adultery.

It's a poor man's vacation but I still have NO idea why so many people go there. If you're not bombed to bits or thrown in jail by cops trying to sell you drugs you're more than likely to die of methanol poisoning if you buy a drink in a bar.

Let the head lopping commence!

Lop lop lop lop ...

And just a few islands over in Singapore there is a house of ill repute called Four Floors of Whores.

I know this to be true because one time, many years ago, a podnuh phoned me from there and told me he had rented the whole 3rd floor for the night.

Ya gotta be sick to 'vacation' in that hellhole. And ya gotta know that plenty of men are island hopping over to Singapore, or doing as they please behind closed doors.

I gotta question the comment claiming Indonesia as the world’s largest Muslim-majority nation, though. What about Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc.?

Top 10 Countries with the Largest Number of Muslims (2021):

Indonesia (231,000,000)
Pakistan (212,300,000)
India (200,000,000)
Bangladesh (153,700,000)
Nigeria (95,000,000–103,000,000)
Egypt (85,000,000–90,000,000)
Iran (82,500,000)
Turkey (74,432,725)
Algeria (41,240,913)
Sudan (39,585,777)

Interestingly, while the countries listed above have the most Muslims overall, many smaller countries have a higher concentration of Muslim citizens.

is this a peasant law only? or does it also include tourists and nobility? or does a slave girl in a harem count, as that cant be called sex, because a concubine hobling her master is her sworn duty? or is this only enforced if either party is a non muslim? and how about the PNG ones? and how would it be enforced in Bali? or in Borneo? or in northern Sumatra? or when a muslim man humps his son? or elton john and barney frank go to a G-7 summit?

and was this the law that was broken when a jap boinked a dutch nurse on java from 1942-1945?

and does this law count when the village elders do a girl before they toss her into a volcano?

This is a great example of WHY political, religious and police forces should be separate powers.

when Cue Energy personel travel about indonesia, they are always in production uniform. is this because out of uniform theyd be killed for talking to an unaccompanied indonesian woman? i believe the foreign investment comming into this pathetic moronic nation will dry up at the end of three years when this retarded law comes into effect. imagine being one of the suckered morons who flipped these pirates money after the Boxing Day tsunami. whats worse, are the relatives who lost pops who died on Ambon fighting the japs over that stinking hell hole.
