With a change in the sex laws in Indonesia scheduled, British tourists travelling to Bali are set to be affected, according to the Daily Star. It was reported this week that the South East Asian country, which is majority Muslim, was set to pass new legislation that outlaws sex before marriage.
The laws will not just affect Indonesian citizens, but foreign tourists too, with the deterrent of up to a year in jail for those found breaking the rules. Living with a partner before marriage is also set to be banned with a six-month jail time penalty.
The legislation will apply to all areas of Indonesia, including province Bali, which is a popular tourist destination for Brits due to its stunning beaches, affordable private villas, great food and luxury resorts. Due to this, it attracts hundreds of thousands of foreign tourists – including British singletons and unmarried couples.]
