Woman Flogged For Standing Too Close To Boyfriend In Indonesia
Images of a young woman crying out in pain as she received 23 strokes of the cain in front of a cheering crowd has emerged on social media. It is believed that this took place in the Indonesian province of Aceh. Her crime was that she stood too close to her boyfriend.
Indonesia is the most populous Muslim-majority country in the world and recognizes only five other faiths – Protestantism, Roman Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Confucianism, RT news reports.
6 other couples faced the same fate for being unmarried and spending too much time together. One man who remains unnamed, was flogged for reportedly spending time with a woman in a secret location which, according to the laws, could lead to adultery, not that he actually committed the crime.
Another unmaed lady, who was supposed to be flogged, was granted a pardon for the time being because she was pregnant, but Zainal Arifin, who is the deputy mayor of Aceh, reassured the public that she would receive the due punishment after she gives birth.
More women are being flogged in Aceh than ever before. The northern province, which is located on the island of Sumatra, began enforcing Sharia law after the area was granted special autonomy in 2001. The consumption and sale of alcohol is also illegal in the province.
