Jakarta's crusade on immoral sex
By Matthew Moore
The Sydney Morning Herald
Living in sin, committing adultery and practising black magic will be punished with heavy jail sentences under Indonesia's draft new criminal code, sections of which have become public this week.
The tough provisions in the code, intended to replace much of the criminal law left by Indonesia's former Dutch colonisers, include jail terms of up to 12 years for those who engage in casual sex.
Strippers risk two years' jail, and men who renege on promises to marry face four years' jail, a sentence that could be increased to five years if the woman is pregnant.
It has emerged that the 600 pages of draft legislation now being made public had been completed three years ago and handed to the Justice Ministry.
Indriyanto Seno Adji, a member of the Government-appointed committee responsible for the laws, said this week's sudden burst of publicity was because politicians were preparing to use them to campaign for next year's elections in an effort to woo religious voters.
The draft laws are the result of more than two years of community consultation and establish new legal principles based on a mixture of international law, Islamic law and Indonesian law.
Two years' jail for unmarried couples who lived together reflected the wishes of communities countrywide to restrict the trend of more Western sexual practices, Mr Indriyanto said.
Although few unmarried Indonesians live together and many hotels require couples to produce marriage certificates before they can book a room, there is now no law relating to sex outside marriage.
But the draft law proposes to tackle Indonesia's sex industry, imposing penalties of up to 12 years' jail on married men who visit prostitutes and seven years for single men.
The law will allow adults to practise homosexuality.
The document also contains a principle that specifically states there can be no rape in marriage, which, Mr Indriyanto said, was based on Dutch law.
Anyone using black magic to hurt or kill faces five years' jail, but Mr Indriyanto conceded it was very difficult to define such offences in a criminal code.
Communism has long been illegal under a parliamentary decree, and the draft law proposes making a ban on promoting it part of the criminal code, with penalties of 12-20 years' jail.
The sheer complexity of the proposed laws means parliament will need to discuss them for at least a year before they can be implemented, and even then Mr Indriyanto admitted new laws often failed to do much to change Indonesian society.
"Don't worry, in Indonesia there are already so many regulations," he said.
