Indonesia, the world’s third-largest democracy, has approved legislation that outlaws sex outside marriage as one of several sweeping changes to the country’s criminal code.
The new code, which will apply to Indonesians and visiting foreigners alike and has prompted alarm from human rights campaigners, will also prohibit cohabitation between unmarried couples.
The new legislation will not apply immediately, but the old code will transition to the new one within three years.
We’d like to hear from Indonesians and people planning to visit the country what their views are on the new legislation.
