Indonesia set to penalise sex outside marriage in overhaul of criminal code​

JAKARTA – Indonesia’s Parliament is expected to pass a new criminal code in December that will penalise sex outside marriage with a punishment of up to one year in jail, officials have confirmed.

The legislative overhaul will also ban insulting the president or state institutions and expressing any views counter to Indonesia’s state ideology. Cohabitation before marriage is also banned.

Decades in the making, the new criminal code is expected to be passed on Dec 15, Indonesia’s deputy justice minister Edward Omar Sharif Hiariej told Reuters.


“We’re proud to have a criminal code that’s in line with Indonesian values,” he said.

Mr Bambang Wuryanto, a lawmaker involved in the draft, said the new code could be passed as early as next week.

The code, if passed, would apply to Indonesian citizens and foreigners alike, with business groups expressing concern about what damage the rules might have on Indonesia’s image as a holiday and investment destination.

The draft has the support of some Islamic groups in a country, where conservatism is on the rise, although opponents argue that it reverses liberal reforms enacted after the 1998 fall of authoritarian leader Suharto.

Why you have problem with what Indonesian government is doing? Have you solved all problems in Pakistan?

Western media cannot be trusted, this why I will give more prove

1. Western media stated that there are many opposition on this law, they show the demonstration conducted in parliament about some years ago to fool people

In fact, Demonstration is in majority conducted by university students that are more interested in Anti Corruption law, as some Liberals also protesting the change of criminal law during the same time since at that time parliament want to release those law at the same time

Now, parliament wants to release the change of criminal law in December and you dont see any Indonesian opposition on that, there is no demonstration we see in Jakarta now, but maybe only some of 100 liberals will show up later

We wants BALANCE, we dont want to be like Iran and Taliban with excessive state intervention on people life, but we also dont want to be like liberal Western nation and society behavior

In Indonesia there is freedom but our people are conservative in nature. This is also the law to protect our women.

Indonesia is doing the right thing. It's time Indonesia and all Muslim countries pass such laws and make sure they are implemented. It's time to return Islam and stand against kufr and fitna.

Being put in Indonesian jail for men for 1 year means you will be in small cell with 10 people where majority are murderer and robber.

You can only eat rice with vegetable, there will be no meat and eggs

Will lead to migration of the elites. Or they would be allowed laxity.

What happens if an unmarried adult fornicates with a married adult.

Dont see on this individual law. See something bigger than that. This law that has been changed is based on Dutch criminal law. So in the future we will likely see more and more reformed going on in this criminal law. Our nation is democracy and our law is not rigid.

While other law like in politics, defense, economy etc have already been reformed gradually. Our political system for example is no longer Dutch parliamentary system, our law regarding to economy also incorporate Islamic law like Sukuk (Government Islamic bond), Islamic Bank, and others like the obligation to have Halal certificate for cosmetics and food/drink.

Our law in defense has been changed dramatically, the same as election. For election for example, unlike happening in USA with their rigid election law that has been hundred years not being reformed, we can reform the law in every election if we see something needs to be reformed.

We have done Omnibus Law as well related to making the law business friendly and currently we are reforming our oil and gas sector law to lure more investors to invest in our country

Why you have problem with what Indonesian government is doing?

But never found you unwilling to support mullahs outside Pakistan. And what right do you have to stop @Imran Khan from saying a sensible thing ?

Have you solved all problems in Pakistan?

No thanks to you.

Go for it Indonesia


Anyone opposing this, simply look at the damage feminist ideology, rampant sexualising of society and teaching women to act like men and have open sex from a early age and what it has done to marriage, the family in the west

 

[villageidiot]

@Indos , what's up with that, bro?
