INDONESIAN WOMEN SOBS WITH PAIN AS SHE'S WHIPPED WITH A CANE FOR HAVING SEX OUTSIDE MARRIAGE (source Daily Mail)

Pictures have sown an Indonesian woman forced to take 26 lashes with a whip as punishment for having sex outside of marriage. The woman and the man accused of having sex outside of marriage faced the punishment as it is against the Islamic Sharia Law.

Sharia is the body of the Islamic law, meaning "path". Google says 'it is the legal framework within which the public and some private aspects of life are regulated for those living in a legal system based on Islam'.

Both the woman and the man were punished on a stage in front of a mosque in Aceh province in front of a crowd who were taking pictures and videos. Aceh is the only province in Indonesia that is allowed to implement Islamic Sharia Law. Under the strict laws, men and women who aren't married are not allowed to get too close due to the 'khalwat' offence (being in too close proximity). This punishment for this is public caning.

This is a representation of religion and issues of torture and public humiliation. Personally I think this punishment is too harsh because sex outside of marriage happens on a daily basis around the world and I don't think anyone should be punished for doing it. However, as it is the region and laws they believe in then they shouldn't have committed the act because they knew what would happen if anyone found out.
