Aceh passes adultery stoning law

Indonesia's province of Aceh has passed a new law making adultery punishable by stoning to death, a member of the province's parliament has said.

The law was passed unanimously by Aceh's regional legislature, said assembly member Bahrom Rasjid.

Opponents had tried to delay the law, saying more debate was needed because it imposes capital punishment.

1. Welcome to the 12th century.
Now will this be applied equally to men? I somehow don't think so.

3. Ah, part of the evil religious laws of muslims.
That would never happen under the religious laws in our country. For instance, before roe vs. wade it was equally illegal for men and women to get abortions.
Our religious theocracy could totally beat up their religious theocracy. ;)
