A long-awaited and controversial law has been passed in Indonesia that makes sex outside marriage punishable by jail time and bans unmarried couples from living together.
Sex outside marriage has been banned in Indonesia, with anyone caught, including tourists in the Southeast Asian holiday destination, at risk of jail time.
The amended code also bans the promotion of contraception, insulting the sitting president and spreading views counter to the secular national ideology, known as the Pancasila.
