Indonesia’s parliament has approved a new criminal code that bans s#x outside marriage with a punishment of up to one year in jail.
This came amid worries that the laws may scare away tourists from its tropical shores and harm investment.
The new code, which will apply to Indonesians and foreigners alike, also prohibits cohabitation between unmarried couples.
It was passed with support from all political parties. However, the code will not come into effect until after three years to allow for the implementation of the regulations to be drafted.
