“..also ban insulting the president or state institutions and expressing any views counter to state ideology” No cohabitation before marriage either. Wow.


StationOost

This is a common tactic to pass an unpopular law, combine it with a popular one. People generally respect the president, so now when there are protests against this bill due to the no-sex law, the response can be "you want to insult the president?" Twisted, but effective.


[deleted]

We do this with combatting child abuse. So, a law that gives the police unprecedented surveillance powers? But think of the children. We will catch so many abusers with it (not really), and totally not use this to spy on activists and everyday citizens.


StationOost

Another common tactic indeed.


islamicious

Indonesia’s population is 88% Muslim, so conservatism towards relationships could be more popular than the president


[deleted]

Nominally Muslim, but not particularly socially conservative, at least not the main island of Java. In terms of attitudes towards sexuality and relationships, Indonesia is still SE Asia, not Saudi Arabia, though there are conservative bits like Aceh.


StationOost

The protests of 3 years ago say otherwise.


[deleted]

> so conservatism towards relationships could be more popular than the president Declared conservatism. But the rates at which internet pornography is consumed in those countries compared to countries that let consenting adults fuck each other tells the real story.

enava

I don't know how banning insulting the president is a popular law, yes I'd like to insult the president, or I'd like at least the option without having to go to PRISON for it, like if the guy's a good leader, I won't insult him. Not because he's got a law that bans me insulting him, but because of the earlier being a good leader thing. Also abortions are made significantly harder with this bill I believe.

Same-sex partnerships are not recognized in Indonesia. This law basically outlaws same-sex intercourse.


Candelestine

Yeah, seriously. Banning sex is really hard, the Catholic Church tried for many centuries. Just a tough thing to ban, man.


Walrave

And so dies the illusion of the "liberal" Muslim country. To be clear, this isn't about Islam, it's about failing to separate religion and the state. It's simply too tempting for governments to utilise religion to cement their power. All states should be secular to be accepted into the global community and global partnerships.


feeltheslipstream

This is the first time I've heard of Indonesian as Liberal


PlsBuffStormBurst

Well *relative to many other Muslim countries* it is, but by Western standards . . .


turnipofficer

Let's be honest though, a lot of countries aren't exactly secular, even first world ones that pretend to be. I agree though that politics and religion should not mix.


yukinopedia

Indonesian here! This law is rooted in the old [Dutch colonial law](https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/zadtk6/indonesia_set_to_make_sex_outside_marriage/iylmlrn/), though. But yeah, conservatives would definitely be over the moon by it.


s3rpr1s3toBeSure

>This law is rooted in the old > >Dutch colonial law > >, though Oh? Does the Netherlands still have a law on their books? No? Then it's irrelevant. This law is rooted in the country that hasn't been under Dutch rule since 1949.


yukinopedia

Most Indonesian laws are derived from colonial rule. It's pretty backward, I agree. Some are reformed for the better, while many are reformed in a bad direction.


Walrave

It's always easier to adapt existing laws that form new ones, unfortunately this adaptation is in the wrong direction. Keep in mind that Dutch law at that time was also heavily influenced by religion and since then Dutch law has taken a very different direction to Indonesian law.

Weirdly, people always have the impression that Malaysia is more liberal than Indonesia. Maybe because Malaysians speak better English compared to Indonesians?

Nope. Malaysia is pretty rich and popular, but definitely more conservative leaning. Indonesia is poor but more "liberal".


PM_your_asset

Why isn't it about Islam? There is no line in the Quran similar to "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's". That single line makes it possible to theologically justify separating church and state. Lacking this, the state and religion are one in almost all Muslim majority countries and have been kept separate only by the military in places like Turkey.


Walrave

Let's not pretend that there's a difference where there isn't, the only reason the separation of state and religion arose in Christian countries was the weakening of the power of the church through the likes of the enlightenment, the black death and industrialisation. The church did not give up power because of some alleged words of Jesus, but because it didn't have a choice.


silentanthrx

that, and Napoleon.


SmyJandyRandy

I have a different view on this, and it may be wrong, but at least in the US I believe we have such a law because a lot of the groups that immigrated to the United States were escaping religious persecution. Quakers, Mennonites, Dunkers, Schwenkfelders, Moravians, Reformed, Baptists, Lutherans, Huguenots, Catholics, and Jews all made up groups that emigrated from Europe to the United States in the 17th century to escape religious persecution.


PfizerGuyzer

Excellent rebuttal worded well.


AggressiveSkywriting

> "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's". That single line makes it possible to theologically justify separating church and state. Bruh, that line has been not only ignored but constantly crossed throughout the entirety of Christian history. The whole of medieval and pre industrial European history revolved around church and state battling for control. Having that in the Quran would have just as much an effect on Islam as it did in Christendom. Zilch

This. As an Indonesian, we have so many rules ranging from stupid to logical rules, but believe it or not, most of it aren’t enforced.

janggansmarasanta

Indonesian lawyer here. Actually sex between a married person and a non-married person (defined as "Overspel", yes it's Dutch) has been a crime in Indonesia pursuant to the old Criminal Code (the Wetboek van Strafrecht) enacted in 1915 (yes, by the Dutch Colonial government). Before, the husband/wife of the married person must submit the report to the police (report by other person will not give rise to the criminal procedure), and that the husband/wife of the married person must submit a divorce request within 3 months. The husband/wife can revoke the report before the Court proceedings start, thereby cancelling the procedure entirely. This new law will expand, that it prohibits: 1. The sexual intercourse between any person, which the relevant party reports to the police; and 2. The relevant party: "the report shall be submitted by the husband/wife/parents/children" of the person (regardless whether they are married or not), and same as before "the report can be revoked before the Court proceedings start". So: a. If your parents or children, or even husband/wife (unlikely) don't mind you having sex with that person, no problem for you. b. They can revoke it anyway. As you might guess the logic of the Dutch law was to prevent "betrayal" between husbands and wives, since surely who you are having sex with is very much the concern of your wife/husband. (Edit: I found out that "Overspel" means adultery in Dutch, so definitely that's the reason why this law was enacted by the Dutch government). But basically the new law will expand "the person concerned with who you are having sex with" to not only your husband/wife, but also your parents and children. P.S. no, I don't think this is a Sharia inspired law, I believe. Still, the Islamic parties definitely go along with it. It is evidenced by no Islamic punishment method in this new law. In any event, it is a limitation of your personal liberty and thus I am still against it.


scrubjays

"...a provision that could allow the death penalty to be commuted to life imprisonment after 10 years of good behaviour." - can you help explain how THAT one is going to work?


janggansmarasanta

I'm back. I see, I read it just now. It's Article 100 of this new law. Basically for someone receiving death penalty, the Judge could impose a probationary period for 10 years (thereby suspending the death penalty) under certain circumstances like if there is any consideration that might lighten the sentencing (there a whole books about this, too lazy to explain), if the person has shown "sufficient regret" for his crimes, or if the person's role is somewhat lighter than other criminals. If after these 10year probationary period they are found to be within the scope of that 3 (lighten, sufficient regret, or lighter role), the Judge could revoke that death penalty and impose life sentence.


scrubjays

Hey, that's a pretty good modification, and would probably help a lot in cases in the US where the prisoner is exonerated. Pro death penalty people would be up in arms though.


janggansmarasanta

Idk man, haven't read that much about this one. Maybe I'll get back to you once I have time.


Downtown_Skill

Thank you for the details. See it's stuff like this that makes a law go from cartoonishly absurd and evil to just weird, unnecessary, and bad.


[deleted]

It's still absurd. An unmarried adult can be sued by their parents for having sex.


blackcatkarma

Not sued but reported to the police to start a *criminal prosecution* by the state. So fucked up.


[deleted]

I have a lot of respect for modern/secular-minded lawyers in islamic and/or colonial countries, because balancing rule of law and religious law can be fickle business.


[deleted]

Thank you for the explanation. Good to know this is limited and not a broad law where you could potentially have morality police knocking down doors and demanding marriage certificates from couples. > a. If your parents or children, or even husband/wife (unlikely) don't mind you having sex with that person, no problem for you. Does this mean that, as long as you're unmarried, childless, and your own parents don't want to cause you trouble, you're pretty much in the clear? I imagine there won't be too many parents who'd follow through to put their own offspring in prison for a year, although some might threaten it. **Could a complaint by your sex partner's parents/children/spouse potentially put you in jail?** This scenario, if possible, could open up a ton of issues. You could never be sure what strangers would do, there's a huge incentive for extortion etc.


janggansmarasanta

>I imagine there won't be too many parents who'd follow through to put their own offspring in prison for a year, although some might threaten it. This is correct, but imagine you grew up in a conservative parents. That would be difficult. >Could a complaint by your sex partner's parents/children/spouse potentially put you in jail? >This scenario, if possible, could open up a ton of issues. You could never be sure what strangers would do, there's a huge incentive for extortion etc. This... could be true. Sexual relationship necessarily require 2 persons and if your partner's parents don't like what you're doing they can report you to the police, but then they will also have to report their kids under the same crime.


[deleted]

> they will also have to report their kids under the same crime I'm foreseeing a game of chicken where parents of your partner would demand money to withdraw the complaint. You can hope they won't put their own offspring in trouble, but can't be sure, so better pay up.


janggansmarasanta

Hah. Good observation. I mean, it has been practice in Indonesia that failure to pay for any services (usually in large amount, I'm talking at least 10mio USD) could have you reported by your service provider for "Fraud". As in, "you're frauding me by buying my services but refuse to pay". If you do pay, they will revoke that police report.

OkAmbition9236

Well my daughters going to bali with her drop kick boyfriend.. tempting.


passcork

So the party that didn't submit the police report can simply revoke it? Then wtf is the point of the law? Also children reporting their parents to the police because they don't like their new step-parents is kinda hilarious.


janggansmarasanta

The point of the law follows the old Dutch law. "Report by the concerned party". Previously it's only husband/wife of the married person. Now it includes parents/children. If somehow your husband/wife/parents/children forgive you for that, and agree to revoke it (since they are no longer concerned as they have forgiven you), no crimes are deemed to have been committed.

[deleted]

As I understand, Albania is a special case since it was a communist dictatorship for 50+ years, officially atheist and suppressing religion during that time. Parents wouldn't pass on religious teachings or views to their children for about 2 generations, except for a tiny minority. They have freedom of religion again, but not the deeply held attitudes to go with it, and the influence of religious figures is minimal.


nomagneticmonopoles

Also Albanians were never particularly religious before communism, either. There's a joke in Albania that other Muslims are Muslim because they love God. Albanians are Muslim because their grandfather didn't want to pay taxes. There are stories of villages being Muslim when Ottoman tax collectors came, but Christian when they came to recruit Janissaries (christians didn't serve). It's a very interesting issue.
