Indonesia passes criminal code banning sex outside of marriage
12 minutes ago
Indonesia's parliament has approved a new criminal code that bans anyone in the country having sex outside marriage and restricts political freedoms.
The new laws won't come into effect for another three years, and it's expected there will be court challenges.
The raft of changes come after a rise in religious conservatism in the Muslim-majority country.
Several groups of mainly young people protested against the laws outside parliament in Jakarta this week.
Under the new laws - which will also apply to foreigners visiting Bali and other Indonesian holiday destinations - unmarried couples can be jailed for up to a year for having sex.
They are also banned from living together - an act for which people could be jailed for up to six months. Adultery will also be an offence for which people can be jailed.
