Indonesia to Punish Sex Outside Marriage with Up to One Year in Jail, Foreigners Not Exempt!

It’s up.

It is up.

Hoes is shook.

Indonesia’s parliament is expected to pass a new criminal code this month that will penalise sex outside marriage with a punishment of up to one year in jail, officials have confirmed.

The legislative overhaul will also ban insulting the president or state institutions and expressing any views counter to Indonesia’s state ideology. Cohabitation before marriage is also banned.

Decades in the making, the new criminal code is expected to be passed on Dec. 15, Indonesia’s deputy justice minister, Edward Omar Sharif Hiariej, told Reuters.

“We’re proud to have a criminal code that’s in line with Indonesian values,” he told Reuters in an interview.

Bambang Wuryanto, a lawmaker involved in the draft, said the new code could be passed by as early as next week.

The code, if passed, would apply to Indonesian citizens and foreigners alike, with business groups expressing concern about what damage the rules might have on Indonesia’s image as a holiday and investment destination.

Indonesia is an extremely technological society.

This disproves the basic claim of modernity, which is the claim that underwrites everything that happens in Western society: that technological progress is linked to so-called “social progress.”

The two are not linked. There is no reason you can’t have a technological society that enforces traditional values. It’s just totally made up. People connect these two forms of “progress” in their minds. It’s like how people think they will get fat if they eat fat.
