Indonesia Bans Sex Outside Marriage

JAKARTA, Indonesia—Lawmakers approved an overhaul of Indonesia’s criminal code that gives the state sweeping new powers to punish people for offenses such as blasphemy and sex outside of marriage, in the latest sign of a conservative shift in the world’s most populous Muslim nation. Parliament unanimously approved a bill on Tuesday that replaces parts of the country’s existing code, created under Dutch colonial rule in the early 1900s. The new rules, which apply to both Indonesisans and foreigners, also make it a crime to insult the country’s head of state and government institutions.
The death toll from the 5.6-magnitude earthquake that shook Indonesia’s main island of Java on Monday rose to at least 268, the country’s disaster-management agency said, as search-and-rescue teams continued to find bodies under wrecked buildings. The quake caused large-scale destruction in the Cianjur area of West Java and was felt as far away as the capital, Jakarta, around 40 miles northwest. It occurred at a shallow depth of 6.2 miles, leading to violent shaking at the surface.

Rescue teams continued their search for survivors a day after a 5.6-magnitude earthquake jolted Indonesia’s main island of Java, killing dozens of people, triggering landslides and causing extensive damage to homes. The governor of West Java said late Monday that at least 162 people had died and hundreds more were injured. The death toll was expected to rise, authorities said, as teams expand their area of operations and continue to find bodies under wrecked buildings.
A member of the National Indonesia Safety Transportation Committee explained Thursday the causes of the Sriwijaya Air plane crash. Indonesian investigators said a mechanical failure linked to automated engine controls and a delayed pilot response led to the crash of a passenger jet in the country last year that killed all 62 people on board. The Boeing Co. 737 jet operated by Sriwijaya Air plunged into the Java Sea minutes after takeoff on Jan. 9, 2021. Investigators had said after last year’s preliminary assessment that the aircraft’s auto-throttle system, which is designed to adjust fuel flow and thrust, failed to function properly. After climbing to nearly 11,000 feet, the aircraft went from a normal nose-up position to a dangerously unstable, nose-down one.
