Indonesia set to introduce strict new law banning sex outside of marriage

[Helpful Herbert]

She was fined $20 and has been deported. Overall the enormous amount of publicity will be great for her profile and creating demand for her streaming productions.

She has been banned from reentering the country for 10 years. She's also banned from Australia Fiji and other places. She is being divorced by her husband and is shunned by most of the rest of the sex worker community.
I think at some point she might get the message!

You would think that having sex with 1,000 men in 12 hours would tell you all you need to know about her. Obviously some disconnect in the thinking process.

The police did the right thing by not arresting her. She caused no damage or harm and was not involved in any form of fraud. Everyone participating in the party was a consenting adult, and there were no victims. While I am aware of laws regarding pornography and sex outside of marriage, the issue lies with the law itself, not with her actions.

For those who may not be aware, OnlyFans is very different from platforms like YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or X (Twitter). It is primarily designed for paid subscribers, where subscribers pay to access a creator’s lifestyle content, exclusive material, or to make personal bookings with the individual they follow.

Typically, subscribers pay around $10 per month. She currently has about 200,000 subscribers, with approximately 70,000 on paid plans. At $10 per month, this amounts to roughly US$700,000 in monthly revenue. In addition add that to personal romantic meeting. She might be earning much lower than than, but even just 10% of that, How many people can say they earn that much per month?

I dont believe that part...
1000 : 12 = 83 man per hour..Physically impossible.
Even in 24 h it is impossible....

That is what she claims and has video evidence. She seems rather proud of it. Search for it if you want. She had to get creative from what I understand. And the real number was 1,057.

Wow. That's stretching it a bit.

Wow. That's stretching it a bit.

What do you think I am exaggerating? Google will back up that is her claim and she has the video for sale if you want to see how she pulled it off. Or if you meant stretching other things, then yes I would imagine so.

Back to the OP. Apparently cohabitation and sex outside of marriage are criminal offences now. My embassy posted something along those lines stating starting from Jan 1st 2026

Is that per the same law that's discussed here?

Yes, of course. That’s why I posted it here. Will never happen was the initially reaction. Appears it has happened?

If you are talking about Bonnie Blue, she was given a $20 fine for driving without al license and deported. Nothing was ever said about this law in her case. Would have ben easy to prove but they let her walk. It would appear that foreigners have nothing to worry about with this law.

I live in Bali, do you think anybody worries about it ?
And in the Missus Java village, 80% muslim, the "game" goes on as always.
Seems only a few westerners feel the need to make a big story out of nothing....
The Miss and me live here since 8 years without being married, as do a few thousands other couples....foreigners and locals.

I guess it's gone into effect. Unless the complaint mechanism's been changed it's unlikely to make much difference.

Some people may not realise that although the law criminalising cohabitation and premarital sex was passed in December 2022, it will only come into force on January 2, 2026. I believe this is what the embassy is referring to. The three-year delay was intentionally built in as a transition period to allow society to adjust to this new law.

Cases occurring before January 2, 2026 or Bonnie Blue case do not truly reflect how the cohabitation or sex before marriage law will ultimately be enforced.

The enforcement of this new law might be similar to the law concerning prostitution. This law is in the penal code for many years but law enforcement is inconsistent, selectively applied, unless a case attracts significant media attention. But keep in mind there are also many cases where prostitutes have been detained and later release with warning. The reason is obvious with so many offenders, they simply can not arrest them all.

But the key point is that the law exists, and law enforcement authorities retain the legal power to detain individuals on this basis. There is still requirement who could report it. But this requirement alone could be misused by legal spouse, parents, children, the religious extremist collaborating with them.

The new law criminalises cohabitation and premarital sex between consenting adults (not minors), and these acts have no relation to public indecency. The question, therefore, is why the private conduct of consenting adults should be subject to control by others, who can report them and turn such behaviour into a criminal case.

The real problem is the law itself, it should not exist in the first place. It persists because certain groups support it, and political parties use them as a vehicle for their political agendas.

Unfortunately this leaves young Indonesians living in Kos in a very vulnerable situation. Every now and then we have been seeing local TV with raids and young couples being arrested for immoral behaviour.

This is the core issue with this new law. In the past, these individuals could not be detained because they were neither engaged in prostitution nor violating public decency laws.

Under the new law, even if enforcement is inconsistent or selectively applied; legal spouses, adult family member who oppose such relationships, along with religious extremists acting in cooperation with them, can report consenting adults to law enforcement. Moreover, in families where relationships are already strained or disputes over wealth exist, this can be exploited by family members' as grounds for blackmail or extortion. An individual involved in prostitution or gold digging aided by family members (may involve collaboration with law enforcers) may attempt to set up honey trap for blackmail and financial extortion.

This sets a troubling precedent, allowing adults (e.g legal spouses, parents or children) to interfere in the private lives of other adults. It also raises a fundamental question: what is the purpose of having an age of consent if adults can still be criminalised for their private behaviour where consenting adult are involved and no victims ? In most liberal democratic and human rights based frameworks; banning consensual sexual relations between unmarried adults is widely considered a fundamental breach of civil liberty.

Let's see how long it takes before an 'opposition politician' or a civil rights activist is arrested under this law.

This is roughly the only risk. Denunciation.
Very unlikely to happen to a foreigner, zero chances for caning.
Now of course in some regions and if you are of muslim faith you may enjoy the "full benefits"...

Well, if you live in Indonesia’s Aceh province, the consequences can be far harsher, such as stoning to death. Throughout this forum, substantial evidence has been presented and multiple links shared showing that some individuals, politicians, and political parties in Indonesia support expanding Shariah law nationwide. If this trajectory continues, it may only be a matter of time before it reaches its ultimate outcome.
