An Indonesian woman was flogged 100 times Thursday in conservative Aceh province for adultery while her male partner, who denied the accusations, received just 15 lashes.

Ivan Najjar Alavi, the head of general investigation division at East Aceh prosecutors office, said the court handed down a heftier sentence for the married woman after she confessed to investigators she had sex out of her marriage.

"During the trial, he admitted nothing, denying all accusations. Thus, [judges] are not able to prove whether he is guilty," Alavi told reporters after a public flogging for Sharia law offenders in East Aceh on Thursday. As an alternative punishment, instead the judges found the married man guilty of "showing affection to a female partner who is not his wife" after the couple were caught by locals at a palm oil plantation in 2018.

The woman's flogging was briefly paused because she couldn't bear the pain, according to an AFP reporter in the field.The man will also serve 75 months in prison for the crime after the flogging according to prosecutors.
