Sex banned

[Lacessit]

Indonesia has just passed a law banning sexual intercourse outside marriage, one year in jail penalty for doing so.

It will be interesting to see what it does to their tourism industry.

It's becoming more and more a Muslim / Sharia Law country.

Surprising to me that tourists still flock to Bali where the medieval barbarians had bombed about 202 people to death.

"The attack killed 202 people (including 88 Australians, 38 Indonesians, 23 Britons, and people of more than 20 other nationalities)".

 

And then another bombing 2005 with 20 deaths.

I understand the Balinese hate the Javanese, who are the dominant force in Indonesian politics. 14,000 islands and about 30 cultures, what could go wrong.

I also understand the ban will not go down well on Sulawesi, where the locals have the reputation of screwing like rabbits.

Here's the get out that should leave tourism unaffected:

"Couples can only be prosecuted if they are reported by a spouse, parents or their children." Still a risk if someone wants to cause trouble.

It could be used as a weapon to get the police to target some(like your enemies).
