People found having s3x outside marriage to serve one year jail sentence in Indonesia

Indonesia has passed a controversial law punishing sex outside marriage with up to a year in jail – for citizens and tourists alike.

The amended criminal code includes several revised articles that make sex outside marriage punishable by a year in jail and cohabitation by six months, but adultery charges must be based on police reports lodged by their spouse, parents or children.

Also according to the new code, the promotion of contraception and religious blasphemy are illegal.

Additionally, in the code, abortion is a crime, but it adds exceptions for women who have life-threatening conditions and for rape.

This is provided that the fetus is less than 12 weeks old and is in line with the 2004 Medical Practice Law. The code also preserves the death penalty within the criminal justice system, restores a ban on insulting the president and vice president and expands on the Blasphemy Law.

A ban on insulting a sitting president and vice president has also been restored. It also restores a ban on insulting national ideology and state institutions.

Insults to a sitting president must be reported by the president and can lead to up to three years in jail.
