A woman collapsed after she and her partner were caned 140 times each for having sx outside of marriage and drinking alcohol in Indonesia. The couple, a man and a woman, were struck on their backs with a rattan stick in a public park on Thursday in the province of Aceh while dozens of people watched.
Sxual relations between an unmarried couple are strictly outlawed in Aceh, the only place in Indonesia to impose a version of Sharia. The woman fainted after enduring her brutal punishment and was escorted to an ambulance.
In total, the pair received 140 lashes: 100 for sx outside marriage and 40 for consuming alcohol, according to the head of Banda Aceh’s Sharia police, Muhammad Rizal. The woman was pictured being wheeled off in a stretcher following her beatings.
The couple was among six people flogged for breaking the Islamic code, including a sharia police officer and his female partner, who were caught in close proximity in a private place.
That couple received 23 strikes each. ‘As promised, we make no exceptions, especially not for our own members. This certainly tarnishes our name,’ Rizal said.
