Indonesia’s Parliament passes law that criminalizes extramarital sex for citizens and visiting foreigners alike.

Tuesday that criminalizes extramarital sex for citizens and visiting foreigners alike.

A copy of the amended criminal code obtained by The Associated Press 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.and religious blasphemy are illegal, and it restores a ban on insulting a sitting president and vice president, state institutions and national ideology.

The penal code had languished for decades while legislators in the world’s biggest Muslim-majority nation struggled with how to adapt its native culture and norms to the criminal code, a lasting legacy of the Dutch colonial administration. A parliamentary task force finalized the bill in November and lawmakers unanimously approved it Tuesday in what Laoly praised as a “historic step.”

Human Rights Watch said Tuesday that laws penalizing criticism of public leaders are contrary to international law, and the fact that some forms of expression are considered insulting is not sufficient to justify restrictions or penalties.

Another Never-to-Visit country added to my bucket list!

Really 😅😅😅

Well…. Sadly, i will not go there. It most definitely was in my plans

I look forward to the evidence they collect in thesecases.

Indonesia is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Now authorities have a brilliant excuse to arrest people or threaten to arrest just to extort money

Another place with human rights issues that I will not be visiting

Why Indonesia 🇮🇩 Why for God Sakes ? This Law is Extreme Opinion

I thought married affairs would have been 1 then premarital sex

WOW! sounds like THE Maga TRUMP party!

these 3 must have hoes for wives to come up with this silly ass law 🤔🤔😂😂

Well there goes the tourist industry in Indonesia.

It’s mainly the men who will suffer! But watch this space, I bet it becomes punishable for women only.

Insanity 🙄🙄

💯🎯✅

dorks

They are crazy. They obviously need some reason to arrest women so they can have them for themselves. Or men They're probably gay. They found a way to get them in their jails for sex.

Sovereign Nation Indonesia decides for themselves to do 'whatever' for themselves. Not a problem unless we make it one.

Look at them.. want us to believe they don’t pay hookers?

Finally folks taking marriage seriously.

Indonesia is falling more and more under Sharia. Look non-islamic inhabitants to begin fleeing the country.

Who will go to Bali now?

Where are those Handmaid protesters for this?

There's gotta be a lot of unhappy men in Indonesia right now.....

Any tourist with half a brain should not visit Indonesia anymore 🇮🇩

Some interesting detection and enforcement issues come to mind.

What could possibly go wrong here 🙄.

😮😮

Doesn't Indonesia have more pressing problems to worry about? You would think...

All three of these dudes have a side piece.

Tourism be like...

Economic downturn😉

こんな国嫌だな!不倫は良くないけど!個人の尊厳を冒涜してる!

Ridiculous

The world is just going backwards.

look at the perverts proudly controlling everyone's sex lives except their own.

There goes their tourist dollars.

Half the politicians who helped pass this have mistresses.

God is mad because no one follows the commandments. People are starting to realize that the only way to ease Gods anguis to follow the commandments. sodom&gomorra

When you have no self control…

They look so proud of themselves for their obsession with sex..

Tourism plummets?

Are hope it includes governments persons to🤐🤐

Note to self: Don't go to Indonesia. Ever.

This sounds like another Taliban state in the making….

Who in their right mind would have an extra marriage? One is plenty.

If you want to sleep with other people don't get married 🤷 the jail is full of people with a broken heart. There should be consequences for hurting someone like that.

Good luck enforcing THAT! 😝

Let people do what they want with their bodies especially foreigners wtf we back in the 1800s?🙄

Their justice system is going to get busy.

The future the gop dreams about for USA. alphamale

Based.

These guys will be the first ones caught in a brothel

Those Christian Nationalist and thier pool boys better stay outta Indonesia.

Looks like the morality police moved from Iran to Indonesia.

i’m blaming the british

Guess I don’t need my secretary anymore…

How are they going to enforce that?

Subhuman religion

It will probably only be enforced against women.

A victory for morality. The USA used to have many such laws.

Countries, all over the world, are agitated and, quite frankly, very afraid of the directions their societies could be headed. As a result, are developing compelling triggers to confine their social exuberances to those legal declarations. Compliance is, therefore, imperative.

And the liberal media freaks out in 3. 2.

What is this deal with these grown men trying to control everyone’s sex lives?

See ya Bali.

There goes your Red Light District...

Why are men always like this Like why?

Say goodbye to tourism.

Wonder how they plan on arresting ppl... Call the f*ck around & find out police?

Don't let the GOP find out about this. They've got the right Supreme Court in place...

It’s their country, they can have the laws they want. And why wouldn’t their laws apply to all those within their country?

There goes Bali's entire tourism industry.

They really don't understand that the marriage contract only guarantees the transfer of financial assets when one s marriage does not work out.

Hoes mad

Good. We need more stuff like this in America. Then there wouldn’t be a need for abortion cause girls would keep their legs closed

Travel plans to Indonesia…nope.

Ridiculous.

Does that include men or is this just for the girls .. 🙄

Should be a law here as well.

😁
