Indonesia: Premarital Sex offenders to bag jail term following new law

A criminal code by the Indonesia Parliament that would make sex outside marriage illegal and punishable with at least one year jail term is in the offing.

According to Reuters, the legislation would also ban the passing of insults against the president or state institutions, including expression of views contrary to Indonesia’s state ideology. Cohabitation before marriage is also prohibited, Reuters added.
