Human rights groups are condemning Indonesia's proposed criminal code that would outlaw sex outside marriage.
The proposed legislation, which also introduces heavily penalties for insulting the president and sets additional restrictions around contraception and abortions, would see unmarried couples jailed for six months or face a maximum fine of 10 million rupiah ($1,000).
Human rights group, Human Rights Watch, say the proposed legislation violates “the rights of women, religious minorities, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people.”
Indonesia is officially secular, but are experiencing a rise in politicians demanding a larger role for Islam in the world's biggest Muslim-majority country.
