Aa parliament passes brutal law.
By Harry Taruva
Indonesia’s parliament has passed a controversial law that bans sex outside marriage and criminalising extra marital sex, in a move that could see Indonesians and foreign tourists breaking this law going to jail.
The Associated Press reports that a parliamentary committee finalised the bill in November with law makers passing it into law on Tuesday. Details of the law indicate that sex outside marriage carries a one year jail term while one could spend six months in jail for cohabitation. The same law also criminalises abortion and insulting a sitting president and vice president.
Meanwhile, human rights groups have condemned the new law as vague and ambiguous while also curtaling the people’s freedom of expression.
They should have that same law in Zim
Good stuff
