Government to criminalise s3x before marriage

Indonesia is set to pass a new criminal code outlawing s3x outside of marriage, even among tourists, with a punishment of up to a year in prison.

A previous attempt to enshrine the strict new morality laws failed after widespread protests across the country.

In a draft code from the country’s government, strict penalties will also be introduced for abortion, “black magic”, insulting the president and cohabitation before marriage.

According to Indonesia’s deputy justice minister, Edward Hiariej the new criminal code is expected to be passed on December 15.

The new code would apply to citizens and foreigners alike.

Other laws include imprisonment for up to three years for insulting the president — a charge that only the president can report — as well as punishment for insulting the national flag, emblems and anthem with up to five years in prison, while anyone who broadcasts or helps spread the insults could face up to four years in prison.
