MEMBERS of Indonesia’s House of Representatives, many of whom have been embroiled in sex scandals, will decide the answers to these questions having begun deliberation on “morality” articles in the Criminal Code (KUHP) bill on Wednesday.
With the country turning more conservative, the majority of political factions at the House said they favoured the idea of expanding the current legal definition of zina (adultery) to include sex between unmarried couples. In the current KUHP, the term zina only covers sex between a married person and another person who is not his or her legal spouse.
