Married Woman Flogged 100 Times For Adultery
,,,,,,,A married woman was flogged 100 times after confessing to adultery in Indonesia while her male partner, who was also married, received just 15 lashes.
…….The woman’s flogging in the conservative Aceh province on Thursday was briefly paused because she couldn’t bear the pain, according to an AFP reporter.
,,,,,,,,,The Aceh region in Western Indonesia is renowned for being a conservative area and the only part of the country where Sharia Law is used.
.
…….Ivan Najjar Alavi, the head of general investigation division at East Aceh prosecutors office, said the court handed down a heftier sentence for the married woman after she confessed to investigators she had sex out of her marriage.
…….Judges found it difficult to convict the man, who was then the head of East Aceh fishery agency and also married, because he denied all wrongdoings, Alavi added.
,,,,,,’During the trial, he admitted nothing, denying all accusations. Thus, [judges] are not able to prove whether he is guilty,’ Alavi told reporters after a public flogging for Sharia law offenders in East Aceh on Thursday.
